Hi everyone, we submitted our app to London on 8/8, three weeks later told payment info was wrong and had a day to get it in before fees went up. So we did that and were told it would be sent to CO. It's now 3 weeks later and no contact from anyone.?? I thought after payment taken CO granted would be 3/4 days after and make contact?? Are there a lot of people waiting if you have recently submitted. Is there a general number/email to contact to see what is going on?? Or do I just wait and hope they haven't 'misplaced' our application. Freaking out right now..

Trying to figure the payment out - I did a Bankers Draft in GBP, so I have asked my bank to let me know.. if they say yes, i'll be feel a bit better! Do you think it's summer holidays slowing responses down?

Hi everyone

We applied for Partner Offshore Subclass 309 and sent to London on 8/8. We haven't had any acknowledgement they have recieived (apart from postal records) or any contact from a CO yet? is this normal.. 2-3 Weeks?

Will they email the 'applicant'? Other threads on here are saying people hear back within about 5 working days..

Freaking out a bit that it's gotten lost - but assuming it's school holidays, summer they are probably understaffed!

Thanks, Amy

Hi guys,

We applied for 309 to London on 8/8. I haven't had any acknowledgement from a CO yet? is this normal.. 2-3 Weeks? Will they email the 'applicant'? - if so should be keep an eye on our junk mail?

THanks,

Thanks so much for your help! I have been through 3 UK visas, and I think the Aussie one is harder!

BTW I've just done a Banker's Draft in GBP for "Australian High Commission London", and going to paperclip it to the payment section - is this ok?

Hi there,

My husband is English, I am Australian - we have been together 3 years and married for 2. Just about to submit this application the first phase of the 309 (2 years temp) and have a few questions if anyone can help?

1. I have had most of the important docs certified by solicitor, birth certs/passports/marriage certs, bank statements etc.

but not 'supporting' things like cards, photos, travel tickets, letters in both names - these are just print outs or copies - is that ok?

2. We have 12 months bank statements each - is that enough financial evidence? Do we need payslips too? if so going back how far?

3. The last 'supporting' evidence which is - Nature of your commitment to each other - we haven't been seperate for longer than 5 days in 3 years - so do we need to provide phone records? and we don't have a will, so what can I use for this?? Our personal statement covers a lot of 'background' and 'combination of affairs' - so will this suffice?

Thanks in Advance anyone I'm exhausted from compiling this thing. should have got an agent to do it!
