It becomes evident that student visas can take longer for families, as they have more eligibility criteria to meet (evidencing partner relationships, parent-child relationships and consent to grant the child a visa if both parents are not traveling with the child).
It is a good idea to finish your medicals early as this can delay the process too.

The average processing time across all nationalities for all years 2017-2021, was 33 days from visa lodgement to a positive decision. Processing times can be affected by a range of things like:
- disorganisation level of others in the queue
- if your case officer took annual leave in the middle of your case
- if your medicals were late
- how many family members you included in your application and their circumstances
etc etc. and not all of these variables would be your fault or our fault if processing times increased, but because we care about our and your processing times, we do our best to minimise wait times for you, by having your case file organised ready for immigration to make a decision on your file for us both.
