Happy days!!!!! My boy got his 309 at about 3pm today! A happy surprise - it has been 8 months and 11 days. Our application went in on 24th March. Having read the forum for the past month I was prepared for a much longer wait. Good luck to everyone else waiting - I hope our grant gives you hope.

Hi all,

I have been following this thread for ages now, and I thought the time was right to pop in and say hello.

As you can see below, my other half is still three weeks away from the 8 month mark. We have done everything that they warn you not to do - given notice at our jobs and on our rental property, booked numerous flights and hotels, etc. We will be flying out New Years Eve - which is technically 9 months and a week after application but there is a slightly nervous part of me that worries about Christmas time and our CO being on holidays. That said, we are spending a week in Malaysia before heading to Australia so hopefully if we don't get it before Christmas we can get it while we are in Malaysia.

This brings me to my question. Is the form of the visa literally just an email, or do they post you something? Do you need to print the email and put it in your passport or is it electronically issued?

Cheers,

Annie
