Hey Guys, I am a May applicant, not heard anything yet, In Oz at the moment, fingers crossed for everyone waiting

Hey Mrs Fabricator! our visa's where Lodged on the exact same day! I've got VF though. Will you post when you know? Where are you waiting in OZ? Im in Melbs

heyyy my U.K police check took about 2 weeks.

yeah it has gone really quiet on here. Fingers crossed we start to see more April grants in the coming weeks. Then us May applicants will be next! eek

Hello! Gone very quiet on here...really hoping to hear from some more April applicants soon as they hit 7 months perhaps...would be great news having just passed the six months mark here!

me tooooo! Just passed the 6 month mark...soo the longest it can take is 3 more months! Bring it onnn

Hellooo everyone! Near the end of November now yeay

Anyone been granted this week? Any more April applicants?

Hey Guys

Hows everyone doing? Anyone been granted this week?

Some deep discussions on here guys, just have a beer and try chill ;-)

Oh yeah haha I hadn't thought of that! ;-)

(Also hellooo fellow May applicant!)

Hey snifter,

 

I completely understand where you are coming from but please also understand where many of us are coming from. It's great that you planned carefully and were able to remain calm and patient, but hey, I didn't. I'm an emotional, passionate person and I guess I'm using this forum as an outlet for my pent up frustration and also my dark, deep hopes and fears. I know this achieves nothing more than a cathartic release for me and probably others currently in the same position, I know that I should just forget about the application and live my life, I know that I should heed the 8-9 month time frame, I know that there are no guarantees......but hey, 'shoulda', coulda', woulda'. I should have put my life savings on fiorente, but I didn't cos hindsights a wonderfully insightful place to sit and comment from.

 

Yes, it is what it is and my emotions are what they are. So forgive us for venting, hoping and perhaps yes, even forgive us a little desperation but that is the nature of the beast that is this wait that has turned a very normal, pretty well adjusted girl like me into the loon that presents itself here!

 

I promise to return to normal....once the visa is granted...

I'm with you on this Chany! completely 100% know. I'm a May offsore applicant and the first few months absolutely flew by because i was on the U.K and i was able to do what snifler said just forget about it and live my life. I never even counted the months or looked up a forum like this. However things changed and i had to move out here earlier with my fiance and currently staying with my family

Now I'm out here I cant work and it's very stressful having no money and rights.

Basically feels like life is on hold. Cant wait to start planning my wedding and actually settle into Australia.

You'll all laugh at me but when i read the 8-9 month thing earlier this year my partner and i thought ahhhh it wont take that long hahaha. I've never been so wrong but then again I've never been though anything like this or spent sooo much money on something. There's a lot riding on it. I was completely clueless.

so this forum has really helped me just knowing there are other people out there who check their emails every day and constantly trying to guess when it arrives. Just good to know I'm not going mad on my own!

Cant wait to be able to get back on with life!

I also promise to return to normal.....once the visa is granted!

Congratulations! Soo good to hear. And good luck with the move

We had our spousal visa (100) approved yesterday!! Very impressed that it took just 6.5 months rather than the 8-9 months we were advised. Here's our timeline:

 

Application submitted: 6 April 2013

Funds taken: 9 April

Case officer assigned (DP): 15 April

Medical: 11 July (police checks around same time)

Visa approved: 24 October

 

This finally feels very real... so happy and slightly nervous all at once.

 

Best of luck to everyone waiting to hear back.

Yeay! Congratulations Ksarah That's ace

Soo good to see more April applicants coming through! Good luck with the move

Hey Chany, i applied 24th April and also have KP, i'm in Brisbane Aus now waiting. Hopefully we'll hear soon !!

Hi Ashleym23 and other April applicants! Just wondering if you've herd anything yet? I'm a May applicant also waiting in OZ. Really hoping to hear something in the next couple of months :-)

Prospective marriage visa granted! I finally get to see my fiancé after 7 months apart

Case officer was VF, submitted 28/03/13, granted 11/10/2013

Good luck everyone!
