OMG!!!

 

309 Has been granted, at 5 months!!!!!!!!!!! We we all expecting 8/9 months. Got the call from my migration agent this morning, was half regretting using one - but not now Now i just feel really unorganised, house hasn't gone through and obviously no flights booked.

 

Fingers crossed for everyone else on here

 

Stats- Applied 11/12/12 CO 18/12/12 Medical 04/04/13 Granted 20/05/13

I was begining to think that an agent was a waste of precious time too - they cannot bump you up the list - but what others might be forgetting is that it took us months working with an agent to get the application right before submission. And that may have made all the difference!! Congrats Kieran

Well folks,

Did i ever think the day would come that i would be updating https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aopvk3Y5mD7HdGp5V2hESFluN3V0QWNBTDg2TWJoLVE#gid=0 the spreadsheet with - date visa awarded 21 May 2013. 157 days 5.2 months. I am absolutley thrilled and shocked as they are getting to them quick now. Flight booked for August, as I thought I would have to wait till then. Thinking about you folks still waiting - dont worry it will come around in no time!!!! :chatterbox:

Folks - dont forget to upload your stats for the timeline - Its very helpful for everyone else applying after you. Here is the link.

Oh how wonderful - delighted for you!

just booked my ticket to Oz - BUT is only for a holiday - 3 weeks at Easter - It'll be a whole year since have seen my other half. but it looks like it will be August before I'll get my real visa!! Only submitted 5 weeks ago, after months of getting everything together. But the waiting is terrible!!

I was a little bit confused as how to add my stats But I am all sorted now!!

- In settings ( beside log out above) select my settings then scroll down to edit signature. Insert here - when you submitted, when you did your meds and anything else that might be helpful. Most of all insert when you visa was awarded. don't forget the smiley face!!:wink:

This really does help others new to the site (like me) to assess how the process works and how long we should expect to wait as the process moves forward. - don't forget to click Show your signature this will be displayed only when you go to post a Quick reply. Hope this helps others - as I was getting a bit of a headache trying to find it!!

Nice work and congrats to everyone how has their visa!

 

Any Sep/Oct applicants with an update?

 

I've heard nothing... still need to do my medicals...

That doesnt sound right at all. I think you need to contact someone. I applied in Dec and did my medical the other day. Thats too long not to have heard anything at all. Maybe they have a wrong email for you or something??
