    Congrats! We applied November 15th everything front loaded and also had medical uploaded on the 26th November so hoping it shouldn't be too long for us now either!

    Hi guys, Have been so busy recently so haven’t been on the thread in a while. Thrilled to see all of the grants congratulations to everyone! I applied 15th November (dates in signature) so I can only hope and assume that I may hear something within the next couple of months. My partner and I are actually heading to Australia on the 18th April for a 4 week holiday to catch up with her family and be there for the birth of her goddaughter. I’m pretty sure I know the answer but just for my sanity I wanted to ask. If by some miracle my visa is approved while we are in Australia, am I able to just nip to NZ and return to Australia to activate the new Visa. Or will there be a problem? Thanks guys I am hoping we are getting close to some contact, have had nothing so far. Police checks and medicals were uploaded within 2 weeks of application.

    Hi guys, Quick question with regards to AFP checks. I am the applicant and I lived in Australia on a 417 WHV for around 10 months in 2017. I was wondering if any knows if they will ask me to complete an Australian police check. I know I haven't lived there for over 12 months, but I have been back to Visit a few times on tourist Visa so my total time in Australia will have exceeded 12 months by now. Not sure if it's worth getting an AFP check done now in preparation for them to ask me for it in an RFI. That way ill have it ready. Thanks

    Oh that doesn’t sound good! Hopefully they will speed up again, we are hoping to be in Australia by the end of July!

    CEP you are a legend for doing this. Having a visual on how the Visas are going is amazing! Would you be kind enough to add us to your spreadsheet? Our story is pretty simple so far - applied on the 15th November and no contact since. Best of luck to everyone else for their Visas!

    Hi all, Still nothing heard on our part for Visa, still says on the Immi website ‘recieved’. Although we did only apply on the 15th November so only been a couple of months. Medical for applicant and police checks for both applicant and sponsor uploaded straight away as well, so hopefully won’t be too long until we hear anything. Quick question though, how long on average did it take people to get some sort of contact from Immi regarding their application? Congrats to everyone who has received their Visas!

    Hey guys! So I had my medicals in Knightsbridge last Saturday and it was actually not a bad experience at all. They were uploaded to Immi today and it says that no further action is required which I am assuming is good news! Timeline so far is: 15/11/2018 applied front loaded with evidence and police checks for applicant and sponsor. 01/12/2018 medical in Knightsbridge completed. 06/12/2018 medical uploaded to Immi with no further action required. Think its the long wait which many of you have been through for us now! I'm praying it's a speedy one as we would like to be in Australia for June next year! Just a quick question, we would like to keep uploading further evidence to our application each month to prove it is continuing. What sort of things do you guys recommend uploading?

    Hi It's a strange one because I have applied for a visitor Visa in the past and it got approved almost instantly. Although this time is different for obvious reasons as I have submitted my application for Partner Visa. I would advise maybe doing it before the day before your flight though just to safeguard yourself because mine still hasn't been approved and its been 3 working days now. Let us know what you decide and good luck with the Visa

    My partner has her own Immi account. When I submitted my application I was given a transaction number and my partner applied for a 'sponsor' application on her account. You put the transaction number your application in the required field and it links the two applications together. It doesn't take too long to do at all, to be honest. The only additional information it asks for is your wifes travelk details for the last 10 years.

    Does anyone have any experience of applying for a tourist Visa while waiting for the partner Visa to get approved? I applied for a tourist Visa about 3 days ago so my partner and I can travel back to Sydney over Christmas and New Years to visit her family and return to the UK after about 3 weeks, but the application is still just saying 'received'. It's been 3 days and I'm starting to worry because on Immi it says it should take 1 day to approve it. I have applied for a tourist visa before and it got approved instantly so not sure what the hold up is...

    Ah ok, I've always been fit and healthy at a good weight with no health problems so I'm optimistic that everything will go smoothly! How long after did you see the results uploaded to immi just out of interest?
  13. samie97
    Ok thanks!
  14. samie97
    Hope I hit a good day as well then haha! What tests do they actually perform on the day? Is it just an all-round health check or are they looking for any particulars? I have been healthy all my life and never had any serious health problems, although I am a very light smoker (5 a day max) so I'm hoping that has no impact on the medicals or my visa!
  15. samie97
    Perfect thanks! Thought that would be the best thing to do. Booked it in today at the Knightsbridge emedical centre but still yet to receive confirmation which is annoying, hopefully comes through soon !

    Hi everyone, Submitted my application along with all evidence and UK police checks front-loaded on the 15th November. Just booked in my medicals for the 1st December to get them done. Do you guys think it's worth uploading the confirmation of my medicals being booked in, or is it best to just leave anything to do with the medicals until I have completed them and got the results? Let me know, thanks for the help!

    Perfect thanks guys!! Really trying to get there by June so want to get everything done (ie medicals) as soon as possible to avoid any delays. Good that it's only taking a few days to get medicals done as I read before that there were lengthy delays even to get them done!
  18. samie97
    Ah ok, when do they issue you with the HAP ID, it just says for me book my medicals in on my visa home page?
  19. samie97
    Let’s pray that the applications are speeding up! Me and my partner our hopeful that we can get to Sydney before my birthday in June so we are keeping our fingers crossed! Just out of interest did you have to phone up to book medicals? I know this brexit stuff is chaos!
  20. samie97
    Hey everyone! My partner and I just submitted our visa yesterday! Applied with police checks and just booked medicals in too. Was such a stressful process but so glad it is all done now. Now it's a waiting game! Has anyone been waiting for an extensive period of time recently? I'm hoping they are pushing the London Visas through quickly at the moment!
