Has anyone who has had further information requested heard back recently??? My agent, rather depressingly, told me that it still may take the published timescales to get a final decision even though further information requested but I think that was backside covering. They ask you to provide the info within 28 days so they must come back and review them as if people haven't provided the info in that time they would reject them. I've done a bit of googling around and one migration agent advises it usually takes another 2 weeks from providing the info because you go back into their "awaiting further info" pile and they review them periodically. So fingers crossed we won't be waiting too long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon the Hat Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Nope! You start to wonder if there is something wrong with the application, or whether it is in a pile and the CO is off sick or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlapatrick Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Hi there! Long time lurker on this post. Just wanted to chip in to let you guys know that I just got my visa granted this morning! Both 309 and 100. Lodged: 1 June 2018 (Police and health documents uploaded within two weeks or so. Everything else front loaded.) Granted: 12 Nov 2018 So that's about 5 and half months in total. Heard absolutely zilch until this morning but woke up to a great surprise! I started getting excited when I saw a lot of grants appearing in the last couple of weeks. So don't give up hope, people, they're still filtering through obviously :) I married my Aus-citizen husband at the end of August this year (engaged since Feb 2017) and we've been together for six years now. So I guess a pretty straightforward application compared to some. Booking our flights today and hoping to move at the start of April (originally hoped to move around February but my sister's getting married at the end of March so we'll go straight after that instead!) Best of luck to everyone x Karla 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck to everyone x Karla Congratulations! really good to still see some coming through. I applied for my tourist visa on the 9th and after an anxious few days wait (all the others were instant grant) we got that through this morning so at least I know I can visit my partner over the holidays :) Still no contact on the 309 visa front, I will now upload my flight and visit details to my immiaccount though so they are aware I will be onshore at those times in a vain hope this would mean they would grant before I go :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on where we can both get jobs and where we can afford a house! My husband's family all live in that area so it will be nice to have a bunch of connections from the get-go (and people to stay with until we sort ourselves out!) Anyone else heading that direction soon, I'd love to hear about it! Good luck to you, fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
