9 months 9 days for us... still under the 10-14 so well happy. Thanks for the support folks.

 

We only got the 309 too

Scratch that... I was too dazed to notice the separate email with the 100... AMAZING!!!!! Best possible news!

I just checked my emails... Astonishingly, it came through today. Happy Australia Day everyone!!!!

We only got the 309 too, and were expecting/hoping for the 100. Does anyone know what difference this makes in terms of employment? I have been in talks with a professor about doing a PhD with them, but I'm not sure if I'll be eligible for funding unless I'm a PR. I know this is a bit niche but has anyone got any experience?

Only gone and got it today!!!! Ozzy ozzy ozzy!!!!!!

 

Amazing, what a day to get it on!

Hopefully so, thanks!

When did you apply Gillam? My parter is leaving the country and returning on a tourist visa (hopefully!), so we won't be apart but on one income which makes things a bit harder and adds an element of pressure. It would be great to catch the last of summer in Aus too...

The uncertainty is somewhat heightened for us as my partner's UK visa runs out on 7/1/16... :err:

Apologies, that should have been 7/2/16!

Hi Folks,

Firstly what a positive and pleasant forum this is! Nice to see so many folks looking out for each other.

We applied 17/4/15, CO VF assigned 2/6/15. Medical completed too early (damn website!) but extended by VF by 6 months to end of Oct 2016. Really hoping for the 100 off the bat - we have been together long enough so hopefully the evidence stands up. I notice lots of people are getting grants that applied around the same time as us so fingers crossed!
