It’s very hard to get visitor visa for overseas dependent when you applied.

Oh mine! This is goodnews!

I received PR card this January and immediately applied Visiting visa for my dependant who is overseas. Application currently in background processing. Trusting to receive favorable results like you guys.

For the working visa, I will advice you keep applying, and explaining on the SOP why your dependant needs to work while waiting for PR to be processed. Success!

Please, can you give a hint on what you think you did differently for the Visiting visa to sail through? I will appreciate it.

You need to fill out a Use of a Representative form if you want to apply for your dependent's visa on their behalf. After that, the process is very straightforward: pay the fees, attach any proof of funds, provide details if your dependents have a job, and be completely transparent that they have a PR application in progress.

You mean you where able to process a Visiting visa for your spouse while waiting for PR? And it was processed in your profile? I thought this was impossible, and that the application must be in her profile?

It typically isn’t easy or possible so this may have been an unusual situation. Also much harder to get a TRV vs a year ago in general.

Yes that's right TRV is hard to get those days but will give a hope may will be successful and thanks for your help and I appreciate your time.
