Oh my goodness, I'm in total shock and so happy! I applied 14th Jan and I just got my grant an hour ago, I was really not expecting it in 2 and a bit months!! I can't really complain at all when so many people are hanging on for months waiting, but it's a 309 I've been granted and I was expecting a 100 as we have 4 children and have been married 11 years so we meet the requirements for waiving the 2 year waiting period. Was I supposed to specifically request going straight to a permanent visa as I assumed they'd just grant it automatically? Maybe it's because the grant was so quick perhaps? Sorry if I sound ungrateful, I don't mean to be, I'm amazed to have a grant so fast.
