We’re thrilled to share yet another success story at Kris Ahn Lawyers, showcasing the expertise of Tony Huang, an Accredited Specialist in Immigration Law. In this case, our client’s Partner Visa Subclass 820 application was approved in an exceptionally short timeframe—far quicker than the Department of Home Affairs’ standard processing time.
Background of the Case
Our client lodged their Subclass 820 Partner Visa application on June 5, 2024, to remain in Australia with their Australian citizen partner. On October 17, 2024, the Department requested additional documentation, which was promptly and meticulously submitted under Tony Huang’s expert guidance. The visa was granted on November 25, 2024, just over five months after the initial application—substantially faster than the standard processing time of 10 to 16 months as outlined by the Department of Home Affairs.
Why This Case Stands Out
This case demonstrates how thorough preparation and expert handling can significantly expedite visa outcomes. While the official Partner Visa Subclass 820 processing time indicates that 50% of applications are processed in 10 months and 90% in 16 months, our client’s application was processed in just over five months—less than half the usual time.
