By contrast, our article investigates the affective experience of migrant waiting by turning attention beyond the physical and exploring waiting as an affective encounter between migrants and the immigration system with which they are involved. Drawing on four case studies of women on temporary visas who experienced waiting for a migration outcome in the Australian context, we use the conceptual framework of affective atmospheres to explore how waiting follows these women as they go about their everyday lives, creating a form of structural violence with gendered and racialised impacts. We argue that this experience is best understood as 'ubiquitous waiting' and use our analysis to highlight how its pervasiveness causes harm. By additionally exploring how, in our sample, ubiquitous waiting intersected with the women's experiences of interpersonal abuse, we further highlight how the detrimental harms of migrant waiting can be exacerbated by other, often gendered, forms of violence. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Journal of Ethnic & Migration Studies is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
