Just a little update - In my grant email they said they can't make any grants between June 13th - June 30th unaware why but wanted to update you. So I am sure those that are waiting they will try to get the grants out before.

Congratulations! How long was your process from start to finish?

Mine took a total of 8 months 3 weeks : ) Good Luck for those that are waiting.

Visa APPROVED!!!!! 12/05/2014 (Granted on my birthday - best Birthday present ever) it doesn't feel real... : )

I got my visa, I got my visa, da da da dah! Granted today (after a polite "could you possibly give any indication of grant date" email) and it was granted 30 mins later!

 

309 temporary visa, must validate by 2 December!

 

Now what to do next?!?!

OMG a huge Congratulations.... Oh I applied a week before you - fingers crossed any day now, mine was through an Agent, so haven't emailed them. Good luck

Hello all, I lodged my spouse visa on 20th February. We were asked to provide different document, however the 888 form wasn't mentioned in the email. Online it says "recommended", I Would like to know if you provided the 888 or not (if you weren't asked either but online said recommended). Thanks

Hey Grabi - Yes this is very much recommended, not sure why it wasn't on the form - we ended up having 6 stat decs '888' as they asked for stat decs from my family after we submitted the application. Good luck

I am waiting impatiently for mine! Where is it?! *taps foot*

Hey - same I applied on 16/08/13 and hoping any day now - I put it down to the recent Bank holiday weekend. Fingers Crossed we all get some good news soon.

Hey All - after following this page the last month. I thought I should post, I applied for my Partner Visa whilst back home in London for a visit, 16/08/13 (I was still on my second working holiday visa) I have been with my boyfriend 2 years actually on Monday who is Australian. I was required to give more information 2 weeks later after submitting my application which I did and since then had no update. I noticed it's gone a bit quiet on the grants the last few weeks. Been checking my emails every morning for good news. I am back in Australia on a visitor visa at the moment so if I get granted then I will have to leave for a short while. Also this forum has got me through the last few months knowing that others are going through the same. It's such a long process but I know in the long run it will be worth it : ) Good luck everyone.
