Partner Visa Processing Times in December 2019

Partner Visa Processing Times in December 2019.

The Australian Immigration Department release statistics for Visa processing times that show the global averages for the first 75% and the last 10%, of applications processed each month.

Many people are confused by these figures, due to the way that the Immigration Department show the figures. Something like this example: 19 months – 25 months.

Some people logically think it means the visa will take between 19 and 25 months.

However, the average processing time is often a lot less than the first figure quoted, with that particular example being:

  • 75% were processed in under 19 months.
  • 15% were processed between 19 and 25 months.
  • 10% were processed in over 25 months.

The longer processing times may be due to incomplete or inaccurate applications, lengthy security checks from some countries and various other reasons.

The Australian Immigration Department updated the Visa processing times page for December 2019, on the 22nd January 2020.  But again on 28th January with revised processing times.
