Applied on 28th March, co LG, permanent visa granted yesterday

Bit hungover today x

Good luck to all those still waiting

Congratulations Columbo. Who was your CO? My paperwork was all completed 5th april(case officer is LG) so I'm hoping to have my visa this week or next. Have flights booked for October 10th and am getting a little nervous...

Really interested to read your posts. I emailed LG yesteday & received a reply this morning.

My application went in at the end of march and I was initially told to expect completion end of August/September. LG told me in her email today to expect completion at the end of September. After reading the recent posts on this thread, I'm now wondering whether to call her with prospective flight dates for the beginning of October...

Thanks

I'm just putting a email together for her now. Will update with news as & when...

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forum but have read through A LOT of the threads & posts...lots of useful info

I am applying for defacto spouse visa, all paperwork etc received 28/03/12 (my CO is LG), police check, medical paperwork received 03/04.

LG told me to expect completion by end Aug/Sept, I'm just wondering if it is worth emailing/calling to try to get a more concrete date? My parter & I would both really like to be ready to fly as soon as possible after completion of the visa process and want to hand notice in at work etc rather than waiting until September then handing notice and having to wait another 4-6 weeks before we can go.

What is people's experience of trying this? Is it worth it or am I just likely to get the same sort of date as an answer?

Thanks in advance
