I am new to this but my partner applied for his visa on the 12th Feb 2014, CO assigned 15th March, Medical done 27th May, police check on June 10th and he is still waiting. Is anyone else still waiting from the 12th Feb? It is killing us! He has already missed out on one job opportunity as the visa has taken to long! Emailed the CO a few weeks back and got a reponse from a different guy called Luis saying our CO was away. Also does anyone know if we have been together for 4 years, will my partner automatically get a 100 visa? I haven't seen him for 6 months and it is driving us mad all this waiting!!
