Hi everyone, My 309 was granted on 18th October. I applied around 18th April so it took about 6 months to get the visa. Although I don't think it makes a difference, my case was very straight forward - no kids, no divorces, no criminal history, etc. I always worked towards the 8-9month wait, so to have the visa granted already makes for a very sweet feeling. I can't wait to see my lovely partner in Oz in 3 days time. Boom! All the best to my fellow applicants! Sandy

Congratulations....hopefully this means you can get off pomsinoz and never have to fix the spreadsheet again hehe. Happy days!

I think the medical went for about 40minutes when you include the x-ray and other tests. Each appointment would be different considering we all have different medical histories.

Fab news. Congratulations! All the best for your new adventure

Amo, Apparently there's a backlog of applications as people were trying to beat the 1st July deadline when the fees went up. 2-3weeks of waiting for a CO at this point is likely. If you gave consent to correspond electronically then yes they will email you. I doubt it will go to junk mail as it is coming from a government department. It will depend on your settings on your email account. I'd give them a bell in a month if you've heard nothing. Good luck Good luck.

Congratulations Tulip! Happy Days! Enjoy your trip away

Haha yeah I can understand why she wouldn't want to tell you. The Dr also said mine was being graded as B so I knew it was going to be referred on too. Best of luck College girl. Mine was referred about 2months ago so getting closer!

The Doctor who completed your medical should have told you. Generally if your medical is classed as grade A (no medical issues) then is not referred. If graded B then it is referred. But in saying that, it is becoming more and more common for grade A medicals to be referred for no apparent reason. If you are unsure, call the Dr to find out

I think we should try to keep the spreadsheet. If people are happy with waiting, I will try to have it sorted out and looking a little more understandable by COB this Friday.

Hi snifter, Well there you go. I think due to the checklist having the police certs on it, we thought we had to include them. They came through a week before we sent our app to Oz house. Anyway, if we fall short we'll do them again - its only money right??? Hahaha!

Same to you lucyh88 - all the best with your app. Ahhhh the police checks - now that explains it - thank you

Hi fellow PIOs! My partner and I have also jumped on the Oz visa bandwagon and applied for a 309 in early April. I am the sponsor and he is the lucky applicant. We included police certs in the initial application and only a few days later we had a case officer and were asked to do the medical - which I see is odd as most people are told to hold off for 3 months. Anyway, that's all done and now we are waiting our 8-9months processing time. We've had very little contact with the case officer and intend on keeping it that way. I'm heading home in August and he will follow over a few months later on a tourist/visitor visa so that he can be a man of leisure for a few months and enjoy that beautiful Aussie summer. Hopefully we are on track for the visa - if not we'll get through it and go back to the drawing board. Anyway, enough about us. After all the collating of documents, reading that Booklet 1 over a thousand times and accessing the UK High Commission website like a stalker, I hope I can offer some help to those who need it on this website. God knows I've read enough to have my masters in immigration law! Shall update our details on that communal document soon. :hug:
