    Huge congrats. I always assumed the date of entry was 12 months after the medical and/or police check was issued. looks like they may have changed that after the delays that have been happening is my only thought. Looks like some decent movement now as most days there is a grant or 2.

    That sucks. But at least it's some movement. Let's hope they get through this RFI for you quickly and your stunning yourself is aussie sun soon

    I had heard that some embassies in a few countries had stopped processing applications and these had been redirected to other processing offices. How true this is i dont know.

    This is the one i was talking abot, glad someone else took it forward. @mppc how did you find arriving in Brisbane? we will be heading that way and i wonder what it will be like landing and getting a place to rent. Looking online it seems that the Aussie rental market is mostly unfurnished unlike London where its the opposite. Did you manage to get a furnished place? we are looking at northern suburns of Brisbane around Geebung area. Any advice or how you experienced since first landing would be great to hear. Almost on the precipice of applying for the 600, but good to hear that you took the other option and just went on the ETA. Have you already for the second ETA approved? Sorry in advance for the long list of questions. Fingers crossed for another flurry of grants this week

    A previous member which is living the high life used to have a progress sheet which can be found. I wad thinking about taking it over, but then me and the wife had hot little one so it went out the window. Good to see someone else has taken the torch over.

    I thought all the late 2018 applications had been sorted. Have either of you had any RFIs?

    This is awesome news to see a few cine through at once. Huge congrats to you and it gives us hope more will come through soon.

    Hi Everyone. I assume everyone applying for the 309 in 2019 has experienced a longer delay in the grants or even RFIs than normal. Also seeing the estimated grant time has increased over this time. Just wondering if anyone has heard the reason for this? I haven't used a MARA agent, but just in case someone on here has and has heard any reasons. We have applied from the UK, so not sure if its a global thing or a problem just with the UK processing office. Obviously the pain of waiting is just awful, and any help to ease it would be appreciated.

    That's crazy. Huge congrats. Even though I imagine there are loads of envious people here. Just out of curiosity, what is you circumstances with your application? E.g. kids etc, did you front load literally everything? Did you apply in the UK? So many questions I know, but always good to have a yardstick Sp excited or you and anyone here that gets the golden email.

    This is a great wealth of knowledge to have for when we submit ours. I will most probably turn in to a stay at home dad for the short term as my wife cam return to work, until at least the 309 comes through. Her family are in the sunny coast so will be settling down in Brisbane.

    My wife and little one (5 months old) just flew to oz for 3 weeks to see her family and flew with Emirates. She said she couldnt fault them going from having bags checked in business class to the little bits of added extra attention she had, which mattered a lot woth her travelling by herself. When we go over to oz we will be flying Emirates because of her experience.

    Good stuff half congrats are in order. At least you will be there, but fingers crossed the 309 will be done sooner rather than later. How long did it take to come through? We are thinking about doing the same so we can head out there for christmas and beyond.
  13. mhcornwall
    Is that completing through to grant? Or just getting to the RFI stage?
  14. mhcornwall
    Fingers crossed for some movement this week. When if it's just someone getting an RFI.
  15. mhcornwall
    The wife (sponsor) is over there at the moment visiting her parents worh our daughter, so when she gets back in 10 days we will be having a big chat to see if we want to apply for and go on a 600 visa for christmas and until the visa is approved. Sods law the visa will be approved at the same time as the 600. Maybe worth it to tempt fate.
  16. mhcornwall
    In some ways that's good to hear that there may be a reason for the delay that doesnt include just revising to look at applications. Hoping for some movement for some of us here
  17. mhcornwall
    Been feeling the same this week. This happened about 4-6 weeks ago before we saw theater 2018 applications being processed. Just any movement would be great to see. We are just on the verge of applying for the 600 visa. Havent done any research on it, but w Do you need any evidence when applying? Also still wondering if you have to leave every 3 months. Anyone know what the specifics are after its granted?
  18. mhcornwall
    With the 600 visa, do you have to leave every 3 months? or can you stay for longer? We are thinking of going down this route, but we expect to head out of Australia for new years and then come back to the UK for 2 weeks at the end of april. Just wondering if we need to arrange another trip in between.
  19. mhcornwall
    when you log in and get directed to the application home screen, it is on the left hand side of the screen on that menu under update details. weird that it has come up. I have read it and noticed it is for people that are n bridging visas rather than inviting someone to apply for it.
  20. mhcornwall
    just did my daily log in to check if i had missed an email and now the time frame is saying 16-21 months - looks like the delays are having an impact on that now. Also just noticed a new section on bridging visas - has anyone else got this? fingers crossed we get some more movement this coming week for some of the 2019 applications. Have a good weekend everyone

    We had an RFI for my wife's birth certificate despite uploading the passport and aussie citizenship certificate. If you have the evidence ready I would upload it so they don't RFI it.
  22. mhcornwall
    Thanks for the update. How long did it take for you to get through on the number? I was thinking if ringing, but I just have this expectation that it will be like any in ound call centre with a massive queue time.
  23. mhcornwall
    hey all. so I have just checked after seeing the messages about documents going missing and my wifes (the sponsor) docs have disappeared. THe RFI we had requested her DOB as they referred to her place of birth which is outside of australia. I also cant see the latest documents that i uploaded on the 4th August. Just thinking does anyone know if i should reattach the documents? or does this put you to the back of the RFI queue?
  24. mhcornwall
    well done steppy, you must be so relieved to finally touch down. Fingers crossed for more movement this week after the recent flurry.
  25. mhcornwall
    Seeing the flurry come though is grat to see after the recent lull. Is starting to give me hope they are processing them again. Fingers crossed for all your 2018 applicants and then let's see the Jan and then us lucky Feb applicants come through.
