    Not sure if you guys saw my previous post, but my partner passed his test 27th June, 2017 (Sydney CBD). He just got his approval finally last week so maybe there is a little movement. Fingers crossed for you both!

    Good news here for some of the long waiting Sydney Applicants, I checked my partners Immi account and it has finally changed to Approved! A looooooong 9 months after passing his test, and 13 months since application. Now to wait for the ceremony but this is a massive relief as it was the unending limbo that we found most stressful. Hooray! Timeline as follows: Applied Online: Feb 2017 Test (Sydney CBD): June 2017 Approval: March 2018 Ceremony: Who knows but Immi account says usually 6 months from approval!

    This is the problem Rammygirl. Test done and passed 100 percent in June but no approval. Spoken to department several times, its 'processing' and just need to wait. There is no rhyme or reason as to why some people like your son are processed so quickly or others like my partner languish in limbo.

    We are also getting increasingly frustrated and angry at the whole thing. My partners application submitted nearly 12 months ago now, test done and passed in June. Not a peep since. It's the inconsistency, lack of transparency and unfairness of the whole thing that is most unsettling.

    This whole thing is just so inconsistent and frustrating! Still no sign of approval here, application done in Feb 17, test in June. Nothing since. Sydney CBD.

    Thanks Sheila, I hope so! I don't know why it's driving me so crazy ?

    My partner applied in February and still no approval letter

    My partner rang the hotline today and the lady was most unhelpful. His application still hasn't been approved and she said they couldn't look into it until the processing time of 14 months has passed. Frustratingly they did have the wrong address on file as well but she said that didn't matter as she could see no letters had been sent. He applied in Feb 17, Test and interview - mid July no approval letter yet. This was in Sydney ( now living in Adelaide).

    Hello everyone! Haven't posted on here in a long time but just after some opinions. My partner applied for his Citizenship in Feb 2017, Sat and passed his test 15th July 2017 and we've still not had an approval letter (so nearly 3 months now). Not sure if this is unusual and we should be chasing them or not yet?? We actually moved states just after he sat the test but they apparently did the paperwork for change of address etc whilst at his interview. We do also have mail forwarding set up so theoretically if it went to the old address we should still have received it. Thanks

    congrats!

    Thanks for everyone's kind words! Hope all your visas get approved asap! Hello Berkandmath - yes D.P was our new case officer! What a legend... I was panicking a bit, spoke to him in the morning, he rang us back a half hour later to tell us it was approved! He was so nice on the phone as well, really friendly and helpful. Very different from old M.R. Such a relief. Everyone chase up your case officers! There is no reason for things to drag on as they do.

    So so happy, managed to speak to our new case officer this morning and he rang me back just then to say he was approving our visa today and he'd be posting my partners passport with the visa stamp today!!!!!!!!!!!!! It certainly pays to chase them up - if we hadn't pestered them we weren't getting a new case officer till the 1st of June!!! So completed timeline is as follows:! Partner visa handed in in person in London 1/3/10 C/O assigned and payment taken 3/3/10 Aus police check requested 3/3 Police check sent in about a month later passport requested by phone New case officer assigned 21/5 VISA APPROVED and will (apparently) be posted today!!!!! 21/5 ARGHHH so excited!!!!!! Looking to fly out the first week of june. Good luck everyone:jiggy:

    I've lived in England for nearly 5 years and am hoping it wont be a problem. I've included a statement with my application about how i will be able to perform my sponsor 'responsibilitys' even though i have been overseas for so long. Just wrote about having family support in Aus blah blah. I think it was asked for as part of one of the questions about proposed accomodation for your partner in Australia. Hope that makes sense! We're doing this on our own though - no agent - so hopefully it all goes smoothly!

    he spent just under a year on a working holiday out there - we didn't include a police check for him from australia as it only asks you too if you have lived in a country for more than 1 year. Silly mistake really, took ages to get the police check from Aus!
  16. londonluci
    I'm the aussie and my partner is the applicant (English).

    Hi Berkandmath, seems we have the same case officer! So annoyed.... just rang and got the same message. M.R had asked us to send in my partners passport as well so now we're stuck in limbo. Glad you let us know though - we'd have still been patiently waiting if we hadn't seen your post. Grrrr. Frontloaded Appication handed in in person at australia house 1/3/2010 C/O assigned 3/3/2010 request for aus police check 3/3/2010 (even though partner hasn't lived in aus for a year) police check sent aprox 1 month later. Passport requested (by phone not email) beginning of May 2010 NOW no case officer until 1st of June! Waiting.......:skeptical:
