Ooh, we were 4 days after you. Congratulations!!

 

My husband is 40 next week, it'd be a pretty nice present, wouldn't it? *crossing everything*

I was 39 on Friday, so if omens are omens...good luck

Morning all, Nice email from my CO (AB) yesterday afternoon, advising I've been granted my visa! Its the 100 too!

Application Lodgement Date 25 June 2012 , Decision Date 27 November 2012. He was obviously underpromising last week when I gave him a nudge and he said nearer the 6 month mark at which time he would be on holiday!

Good luck to everyone else! And a huge thankyou to everyone on the forum that have shared their experiences and knowledge with me, mostly without knowing it, as I have lurked for info on a daily basis. :biggrin:

Approaching 5 months since application date (26/06), and CO (AB) had advised 5-6 months wait at the time and during one subsequent contact.

Thought I would give him a nudge today.

He has responded today saying that June apps are now more likely to be nearer 6 months, and that he will be on holiday at that point and one of his colleagues 'should' be able to help.

Was kinda hoping for a 5 month turnaround, but hopefully on track for 6. Wondering if its worth pestering thru December, and hoping it's on a pre Xmas to do list for someone.

Hi all,

I've not contributed before, but have gleaned so much valuable information from everyone on here, it seems churlish not to.

Applied for a Partner Offshore on 21/06/12, CO assigned 26/06/12 (AB), just completed medical and everything is crossed.

My wife's australian, and we're moving to melbourne between January-March next year.

Thanks all on the forum for your help
