Secrets, tips and advice to fast track your partner visa 309 application
Every year, around 50,000 applicants are desperate to get a partner visa 309 in Australia in the shortest timeframe possible.
5, 4 or even 3 months is the perfect waiting time!
But, is it realistic to think you can get a partner visa 309 in such a ridiculous short timeframe?
To give you a hint, on March 2022, one of our clients from India got his partner visa application (subclass 309) approved in roughly only 1 month (32 days).
Easy?
Not at all!
The good news is that there is a secret!
But before I go into the specifics of how to fast track your partner visa application, let me show you the expected processing time of all different partner visas according to the Department of Home Affairs.

Here at Gold Migration Lawyers we have had record-breaking partner visas’ processing times.
As I mentioned before, in March 2021, an Indian national who hired us to prepare and lodge his partner visa application (Subclass 309) got it approved in only 1 month and 2 days.
Then in January 2024, a Japanese client got her Partner Visa approved in just 2 months and 15 days.
What’s the secret?
You must lodge a “decision-ready” application if you want to fast track your partner visa 309 processing time. But how do you do that?
According to Ramtin Diznab, Gold Migration Principal Lawyer, part of the secret to speed up your partner visa 309 processing time lies in how you structure the statutory declaration.
Events must follow a sequential order.
Everything must be interconnected.
No inconsistencies.
Preparing a “decision-ready” partner visa 309 application is almost like writing a movie script says one of the top partner visa lawyers in Australia…
If a script writer takes one page out of a movie script or if he messes up with its page order, nobody will understand the movie.
The same goes to your partner visa application. If you miss an important document in your partner visa application or if you don’t follow a good structure and sequential-narrative throughout your statements, the case officer will be doubtful at best and lost at worst.
What’s more, documents and photographs must be paired with the right statements, backing up all written claims.
Think of it as the storyboard built after the movie script…
Now let’s be frank, most people who are lodging a partner visa 309 application for the first time are likely to lodge a very weak application…
Missing a document or having a lack of sequential-narrative within your statements will significantly increase your partner visa 309 processing time.
Worse still, it will compromise the entire application and you may get a visa refusal.
The refusal rate for partner visas in Australia is very high. In 2018, 42% of partner visas were denied. Most of them were lodged by applicants without the help of a partner-visa-specialised migration agent or lawyer.
That’s why it’s highly recommended that you seek professional advice from partner-visa-experts who specialise in partner visa 309 before lodging a partner visa application. Especially if your case is not straightforward.
See, the success of a short-time-processing partner visa 309 application relies on sequential storytelling…
You need to combine all different stories into a single unit.
You got to please the case officer… Not make his job difficult.
Don’t get me wrong! Everything from facts to evidence must be 100% genuine. But they should be presented in a very compelling and easy to understand format.
And that’s a skill that Gold Migration Lawyers have developed in the course of 12+ years specialising in partner visas.
Think of Gold Migration Lawyers as the script writers and storyboard artists to some of the most successful Hollywood movies.
No wonder in 2023, Gold Migration was rated “best partner visa lawyers in Australia” by TTL and Top Experts.

P.S.: Just as I finished writing this letter, we got another big news… Another record-breaking result. A partner visa (subclass 309) granted in only 2.5 months. WOW! Our client was so happy that he left us this Google review.
“My wife and I, who had been separated due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, engaged Gold Migration Lawyers to help us be reunited after having been unsuccessful in doing so on our own. To go from feeling hopeless and having no idea how to move forward to leaving our initial consultation with Gold Migration with a firm plan and full confidence that the team understood our situation, to having a 309 Partner Visa approved just 4 months later (just 2.5 months processing time!) and being reunited with my wife in Australia just a few weeks after that goes beyond what a five-star review can convey, but needless to say we are extremely grateful for the always professional, prompt, and practical assistance of Gold Migration. Especially in cases like ours there is no price that can be put on what their hard work makes possible. Cannot recommend highly enough for working through visa and immigration solutions from the ground up.”

I contacted Gold Migration Lawyer in April this year (2024). On 30 August 2024 we received the fantastic news that our visas have been double granted. This is life changing for my partner.
