Dear Shibu SILUVADASAN
Dear Mr. Siluvadasan,

Thank you for reaching out to the Australian Embassy regarding the status of your Visitor Visa
(subclass 600) application. We understand your concern about not receiving any updates,
especially after the intended date of travel has passed.

Upon reviewing your application (Passport Number: T 8346439), we would like to provide you with the
following information:

Application Status: As of the last update on 22 November 2023, your visa application is still under
processing. We acknowledge that the day you planned to travel has elapsed, and we regret any
inconvenience this may have caused.

Processing Timelines: Please note that the processing of visas, especially for tourist purposes,
involves various checks and balances. The intended date of travel is an important component, but it
does not solely determine the processing time. Our team diligently works to ensure that each
application is thoroughly reviewed while adhering to our standard procedures.

Telephonic Interview: We have noted that attempts to conduct your registered phone number
(+919746297427) for a telephonic interview for verification purposes have been unsuccessful. Such
interviews are a crucial part of the visa assessment process. The inability to complete this step has
contributed to the extended processing time. .

Next Steps: We will continue with the processing of your application and will reach out to you to
reschedule the telephonic interview. Your prompt response to this will be highly beneficial in
expediting the process.

No Change in Processing Methods: We assure you that our visa processing methods are consistent
and impartial. The delay in processing is not indicative of a change in our methods but is a reflection of
the thoroughness required in assessing each application.

Yours sincerely
Ramnik
