Waiting for a decision on your Partner Visa can seem endless. Partner Visa processing times are a delicate subject to discuss due to processing times constantly fluctuating and a variety of other factors.

Your Partner Visa processing time will be affected by the country from which your application is being processed

Sadly, processing times can differ based on where your application is being processed from. Despite the Department’s assertion that passport and/or country have no bearing on processing times, it’s frequently observed that applications from “low-risk countries” progress faster than those from “high-risk countries”. Ultimately meaning citizenship can affect processing times.
