Hi all. My container arrived in Brisbane port on the 23rd feb went through customs on the 26th quarantine on the 4th March, now it is still waiting clearance is this normal does anyone know.

I have contacted the shipping company this side and they say there is nothing they can do till it is released, I thought it would be released as soon as quarantine finished.

I need my bed lol really fed up of waiting.

Good Luck @DPA hope you hear something this week 

Congratulations @Dmb81 what amazing timing

Congratulations @Woodydj82 it's such an amazing feeling.

@Woodydj82 I have to be there before the 30th Jan which is just about inline with my police check date.

@mppc I checked a few days ago and it hadn't changed. Sponsor still says submitted now but approved next to his name and my application says finalised. Good luck hope you get your grant soon.

It's my birthday on Friday they just gave me the best present ever

Direct grant 309 and 100

So excited flights were already booked for 5th Jan now I can relax and get excited

Good Luck everyone

Hope you get that grant quickly now @Waitingaround

Oh, Forgot to ask - is there anywhere that someone has pooled all the applications timings together so we can see any patterns. I feel like I saw this some time ago on a forum but I can't find it anymore when I looked. 

Many thanks

Page 65 CEP has done an amazing spreadsheet but she has her visa now and has been busy with her move.

Thanks! Well i’ve Just checked our police checks. My Australian one was issued 3 July and my UK one was issued 5 August. But I’m the sponsor. My husband’s were processed in October, so it’s strange. My husband’s medical was in November so who knows what factor it was! Now to madly come up with plans to move in 16 weeks!! X

Crazy who knows how they work. Good luck with sorting out the move hope it all goes smoothly for you xx

We just got the email. Husband’s 309 has been approved - date of entry is August 2 - which has knocked us both over as we were not anticipating having to enter the country so quickly! Still processing but wanted to share for all other November applicants x

Congratulations amazing news so pleased for you. So they haven't given you 12 months from date of police checks we are leaving beginning of Jan and I got my police check 1st feb so was hoping it would all fall in to place, maybe not

Congratulations so pleased for you @Kung-Fu Koala especially having waited such a long time

74 days I have been waiting for my visa and it's already driving me mad lol. I really hope you get your visa soon Kung-Fu Koala I can't begin to imagine how you are feeling, my fingers are tightly crossed for you x

Hi, Yes you do need both UK and Australian police checks

Well done everyone so pleased for you all especially CEP you can all sleep better at night now and enjoy your future

I can't believe it - just logged into my emails and have the golden ticket for my 100 visa!

Hopefully this means that they are starting to process more and I hope everyone else's follows soon! Wanted to update you all immediately to give everyone a bit of hope.

Congratulations

Good morning all, can I submit my 309 today and add my 888 forms and form 80 after submitting, the 888’s should be back to me in the next week and the form 80 I’m still working on, thanks for your help.

Hi we will be making the move in 2 years, to Queensland me on a partner my visa.

My partner has lived in Uk for 28 years but is an Australian citizen. He has been working at the same place for 13 years but doesn't have any paperwork. He is a mechanic and car body repairer, is there any way of transferring his skills before we go or once over there? I keep going round in circles on the internet.

Many thanks for any help
