Partner Visa Subclass 801 Grant Processing Times 2015 to 2018

Partner Visa Subclass 801 Grant processing times 2015 to 2019.

Australian Visa processing time estimates are normally quoted with two figures; one being the number of months taken for 75% of those visas finalised in the previous month, and the higher being the number of months taken for 90% of those visas finalised in that month.

The following figures are taken from a total of 200 subclass 801 visa grants over the last few years, and show figures for those grants on the 25%, 50%, 75% and those that exceeded the 90%.

These figures are an indication of a random sample of grants taken from Public Forums, and although indicative of what may be close to actual, cannot be stated as such. Full official figures from Immigration would be needed for that.

It does however give an indication that the official figures, of say 12-14 months, which make many people think their visa will take 12-14 months, do not actually mean that.

The figure of 12-14 months, shown for the 2016 grants below, actually mean that 75% were done under 12 months, and 10% took over 14 months. Even though the average was 9.5 months, and 25% took under 8 months.

As at February 2019, the official figure is: 21-26 months, ie: 75% of January 2019 finalisations were done in under 21 months, and 10% took over 26 months.
