IMMI told us on 7 December 2018 they would grant the visa in May 2019 as we had given them a wedding date of January 2020 (we were going off the longest possible timeline at the time), but if we wanted it sooner we had to go back and give them a new date.
We duly went back a day later with a new date, thinking we would receive the visa very soon.
So after 9 weeks of waiting, yesterday we finally had a response from the department asking for a new letter with the new wedding date on it.
Despite me asking the lawyer 9 weeks ago, if we needed to do a new one, I got told no we didn't!
Anyway, here's hoping that in the next few days or weeks (!?) we will be granted the visa.
So, there is hope for you @CEP ! Please could you add me to the timeline
