YAY!!!

I got my approved email at 11.58pm on Wednesday 19/10/11!!! that is JUST under 4 months, Thursday 20/10/11 would of been exactly 4 months.

My C/O was JF and then DP

SO....HAPPY!!

Good luck everyone!!

We had JF. I sent an email (as Australian sponsor) with some unsolicited additional info on 26 August. I didn't get a reply, but my partner (applicant) got an out of office reply stating "I will be out of the office starting 22/08/2011 and will not be returning until 01/01/2020" :biglaugh:

 

It went on to say that the manager would be dealing with queries (not sure if I can say who but if you send an email you should get this same out of office reply with contact details etc.). Anyway, later that day my husband had what he wad told was an unconnected call followed by a confirmation email from DP to say that he was the new case officer and visa would be approved first week of November. :biggrin:

 

Application submitted 27 June 2011

Money taken 29 June 2011

Medicals & Police clearance requested July ?

Medicals & Police Clearance August

Visa grant expected November

Hoping to fly out to Melbourne just before Christmas

Well that's promising .....I hope i get told who my new c/o is soon!!

I want to book flights next week.

Any previous JF people been appointed new c/o's?

JF has left? He is/was my CO.

Same here!!!

What does this mean?

I have JF too - had an email confirming receipt of application on 15th June, so about a week ahead of you. Last email I received from him saying he needed no more information and that granting date would be around Mid October.

I was told from my agent to expect confirmation around mid november but all signs are pointing to it being a bit earlier.

I will be watching out when you get yours, mine cant be far behind.

anyone else have JF?

Visa approved today (case officer JF), submitted end of April, so about 3 and a half months.....very very happy......and very relieved as i'd already booked flights for October...now to get ready!

i have JF as a c/o as well, ours was lodged 20/6/2011, i can only hope that mine only take 3 1/2 months as well.
