Hi guys. I finally got my visa grant today. I applied on 24 June 15 so just over 8 months wait, a lot sooner than I expected! My girlfriend and I are on holiday in Dublin at the moment so I guess the luck of the Irish was definitely with us. Now time to drink loads of Guinness and celebrate then back to getting everything sorted for the big move on Monday :wink:

Hi guys, just a quick update, I was assigned my case officer yesterday (VF) which is almost 3 months since I applied so everything is starting to feel real now!

However, I was wondering if anybody could help me with something. My CO asked that I complete my medical on or soon after 24/10/15 but I'll be on holiday in Melbourne at this time and I don't return home until the 5/11/15. I was wondering if anybody knows wether I would be able to do my medical while I'm over there or does it have to be undertaken in the UK? If not should I just let my CO know that I will be a bit late?

And congrats to everybody who is getting their visa's granted. I would be extremely jealous if it wasn't for the fact I'm going over at the weekend :wink:

Finally applied for my visa on 24/6/15. The payment has been taken out of my account but I haven't had any direct contact yet. I guess the waiting game begins now!

Hi guys, new member here who has been following this post for a while now. I'm just about to apply for my 309 and although the waiting time doesn't bother me too much, the though of my visa getting declined 12-14 months down the line absolutley terrifies me!

My partner has spoken to a migration agent back in Oz who is a family friend and she said it is very hard to get a visa granted right now although on this thread I only seem to hear good news. I was just wondering what the main reasons are for the visa's getting declined so I can make sure my appliction is watertight.

Congrats to everyone who is getting theirs granted, with any luck I'll be able to join you in about a year:cute:
