K1 Holder waiting for Australian Exemption

[mandajoy98 68]

Hello! 
 

my fiance has a flight due for June 16 2020 from Brisbane (Australia) to Raleigh, NC through Qatar airlines. His K1 visa expires in August and was wondering if any other aussie visa holders have gotten approval from the Australian government to fly!?! We got a response from them saying they needed more evidence so we sent everything we could possible including joint credit card accounts, wedding deposits, citizen proof etc. I am just so nervous that he wont hear a response before his flight.

You say you have a visa and it expires but latter in your posting you say you responded to the embassy with additional evidence which has me confused. Does he have a visa in hand? If not, then you need to continue to wait a bit longer. If you are referring to the NOA3 expiring, it already has expired because you are still waiting on the visa to be issued.

 

We need a little more clarification so we can help. Find your sub-forum for your region where others are having the same discussion.

 

Go to the blue ribbon above, select "forums" then scroll about 3/4 of the page down and select the region that most represents where your country is located.

I believe OP is referring not to the US embassy, but to the government of AUS in their request for a travel exemption.  Aussies are not allowed to travel outside of the country at the moment without permission.

There's been some lengthy discussion in this thread about it -> 

 

 

 

There's a lot of pages, however most of the discussion about getting the travel exemption has been in the last 5-7 pages from memory....

Like @Entheos mentioned a few of us have been able to get our waiver but it’s usually taken several attempts. I received 3 rejections and someone else had over 10! The current trend seems to be that approvals are given only one or two days before the date of departure listed on your request. You can try changing the exemption category that you’re applying under. Some have gotten it under urgent personal business while others have gotten it under compassionate grounds. It’s a pretty broken process and I just recommend that you keep trying! The evidence I used was copy of Visa, resignation letter from my job, shipping invoices for my boxes, pet relocation invoice and proof I cancelled my private health insurance. Good luck!!

As said in original post, he has his K1 visa and has been issued it since February and it it will be expiring this summer. Hence, the question asking specifically if any aussie travelers have had any issues with the Australian government, not the US embassy about flying. We have already gone through the entire process through the US government now we are facing an obstacle with the Australian Government. I appreciate your help, however didn't not mean for the confusion I may have caused, but just trying to find out other peoples experiences.
