Processing Times: remaining relative visa SUBCLASS 115/835
If your only close relatives live in Australia permanently, you may be eligible to apply for the remaining relative visa (subclass 115 or 835). Your relatives need to be willing to sponsor you and your family members to move and live in Australia permanently. The 115 visa is for offshore applicants and the 835 visa is for onshore applicants – essentially, they are the same.
115/835 Visa Processing Times
A Remaining Relative visa is very popular and due to its high demand, there are a limited number of places available each financial year. As of March 2018, the global processing time for this visa has been either capped or queued, meaning that no more visas will be granted until the next financial year.
Waiting times can last years, so Results Migration can help you find an alternative visa in a free consultation.
