Service standard: 10 months

This service standard is linked to the 2007-08 Portfolio Budget Statement. We aim to process 75% of cases within this service standard. However, actual processing times may vary from this standard as the following notes explain:

-The service standard is indicative only. Individual cases may be decided in longer or shorter periods than the service standard depending on a range of factors, individual circumstances and the complexity of each case.

-The service standard applies to visa applications lodged with complete documentation. You can expect your application to take longer than the service standard if it was lodged without all the required documentation or information.

-Processing times vary by location, reflecting the differing circumstances of national and regional caseloads.
