Just thought I should add our dates to the group, we have kept an eye on this thread over the last few months but for various reasons haven’t felt able to include our dates - but happily today, along with a few others it seems, we received the great news that my partner got his 309. Our dates are:
17 June - offshore 309 application in London. We’d been living together for 17 months at this stage.
medicals and police checks uploaded in July, along with all other supporting docs
14 Nov - RFI for sponsor’s evidence of British citizenship (naturalisation certificate, not just a certified copy of a U.K. passport)
15 Nov - Naturalisation certificate uploaded
Jan - sponsor’s status changed to “approved”
19 Feb - 309 visa granted, first entry by 17 July
So by my count that’s at least 5 people getting grants today. Congratulations to all, and sincere best wishes and good luck to everyone still waiting. The sense of relief if indeed immense!
