So after my 7 month wait for my visa and over 4 years together with my partner we managed to break up a month before I was due to leave for Aus. Oops

Applied 1st March and got mine 1st October so 7 months to the day aswell. Not as though I'm in any real rush as flying out at the start of Dec

Who was your CO ?

I just got my visa granted today I think I am the first of the March applicants, timelines are as follows;

 

Lodged 5th March

Meds + Certs 5th June

Granted 24th September

 

Just under 7 months Leaving beginning of October and so excited!

wrong quote

I had 6 month 2 week processing too with VF, I'm a Feb applicant. Can't believe all the waiting is over, I go off shore to grant in a few days!

MY CO is VF too and applied end of Feb so finders crossed for some news in September

Yes unfortunately it is normal! I found it difficult to get my head around it too! ;-) however if you need to get to Oz you can chose the Tourist visa route until it gets granted. Sit tight. We'll all be there soon -ish x

Oh well, It would be nice just to be told whether everything was ok. Well fingers crossed

Just a quick question, Is generally no news good news ?

As I submitted my Application end of February and got assigned at start of March to a CO they let me know 2 questions I hadn't answered so I sent this off and was notified they had arrived and was given the data to get medical and police checks done by. So got medical and police checks done and emailed my CO to check to see if they received all the information from these ok and she confirmed she had got them and then mentioned not to contact them unless urgent until the 8-9 month time frame has passed. Is it usual to hear so little ? If they needed any further information or an interview would have they contacted me yet ?

Thanks
