What are some factors affecting the visa processing time ?
Updated 1 year ago
Many factors can affect processing time. The time can vary every month because of factors such as the number of applications coming in, seasons that see a higher number of applications, a higher number of complex cases, or incomplete applications. Other reasons that impact processing times include:
- Incorrect applications
- Lack of supporting documents
- Time is taken to answer any queries raised by immigration officers
- Demand for the applicant’s occupation in Australia
- Inadequate points scored by the applicant in the SkillSelect online system
- Delay in the background verification process
- Time is taken to receive information from external agencies about health or character
- Number of places available in the migration program
