    9th Jan 2020: 309 Granted!!! Applied: 21st Feb 2019 RFI: 9th December 2019 (medical and police check done nov/dec time) Entry by 9th Jan 2021 Information for the 100 by 21st Feb 2021! Woohoo! Now to finish selling the house and the prep work begins! Used an agent as our application was slightly complicated as we had to get a waiver for my husbands son.

    Applied 28th Jan 2019 from London, RFI 5th December 2019, Medical / Police check early December as we were thinking they’d be requested for in December anyways :)! fingers crossed we will hear by the end of Jan! Might be being over hopeful though!

    It’s not great, and it is a large expense upfront but it is what it is! They have a lot of applications to look through and would hope they’re thorough with everyone! In the great scheme of things, waiting 12+ months isn’t that bad if it means I get to spend the rest of my life with my husband in Aus! In our case the extra information requested was in relation to a specific timeframe of our relationship which hopefully means they’ll be granting both 309&100 at the same time! Just additional proof of de facto status! Yes we waited until we were requested for medicals / police checks they are an added expense wouldn’t want to spend the money twice! Here’s hoping that they process the RFI super fast would be a lovely entrance into 2020!

    My husband and I have applied from the UK, we had 9 months waiting before there was a request for further information! The waiting game is horrendous and we probably still have another 3 months to go at least but it’s progress!!

    Ahh that’s exactly how I was when we got an RFI for my husbands application last week!!! We needed proof of being defacto for a specific period so we submitted some extra info and statements from people too as our agent suggested, as we didn’t have bills etc! good luck with the extra info and don’t stress you’ll be fine 28 days is enough time! We applied end of Feb 2019 from London too! So glad to see they’re moving through applications now I wonder how long we’ll have to wait to find out if it’s enough! Hopefully no more than 2/3 months!!!!

    Hi guys! RFI this morning for my husbands application! 309/100 applied feb 2019 (From London) Police Check / Medical Dec 2019 (we already started the process to arrange prior to RFI and have medical booked for next week!) The RFI wants more information about us being defacto from feb 2016 - feb 2019 and our relationship being genuine. Technically we only started living together from September 2019 while I was still tied to a rental agreement. This is something our Agent knew and didn’t see as a problem, from feb - sept 2016 my partner and I would spend half and half between my place and his and I have asked my old live in land lady to write a statement proving this including a period of 12 weeks when she was away and he stayed at my location the entire duration. Anybody have any other suggestions for info we could provide? Feeling frustrated!

    I think we applied only a matter of days apart from each other and similar situations including moving to Brisbane!! We used an agent and have been advised to do medicals when requested so will be interesting to see when there is movement! Fingers crossed it will be soon for both of us!

    Yeah, Ray's son will be staying with his mum in the UK! But we were told by the agent that to be excused from him doing the medical, the waiver needed to be applied for! There was next to no additional information we could find online but fingers and toes crossed everything we have submitted will be enough and we'll be headed to aus soon!

    Hi everyone! Submitted: 20th Feb 2019 (Through Agent) Police checks & Medical: Not yet submitted (was told to wait until they were requested) Aussie living in London with her English husband! Together 4 years, Married for 1.5 years, 3 years defacto Sept 2019 Would LOVE to think that we’d be heading to Aus early 2020! Wait time was 12-18 months when we applied but has jumped 15-20 months but then dropped back to 12-18! Used an agent because my husband has a 13 year old to a previous relationship, & contact is difficult, so far we have had unsuccessful contact with her to get confirmation about taking him for the medical or if she wants to deny it, on recommendation after 6 months unsuccessful contact attempts, we wrote a statement & submitted it in the hopes of waiving the need for a medical for him. Have also been regularly updating my agent with poof of bills in joint names & joint account statements. The waiting game is pure torture! So frustrating that you cant view anything! So spending my days down the rabbit hole on forums & researching job prospects! Has anybody had experiences with the waivers or applied similar time to us and have any movement? x

    Hi, I am Aussie from QLD & my husband is from the UK. Been with my partner for 3 years total, married for 1 of those 3 years! We have lived together for 2 years, 1 year with his family while we were buying our home and the last 12 months have been in our own home. We were married in Brisbane in 2018. We have no children to our relationship, however my husband has a 11 year old son from a previous relationship, who he pays maintenance for but doesn't have custody of. His son wouldn't be coming with us but we would love to give him the option when he's old enough to decide for himself later in life. Has anybody had experience with this & could provide advice as to if it effected their application? Our original plan was to apply for Visa's once his son was 16, however due to family illness on my side we have had to make the decision to move our timeline forward quite a few years so that I am able to help care for them, we are hoping that the amount of time we have been in a relationship will still qualify us for the partner visa, we were planning on doing it ourselves without assistance from an agent. Any advice or opinions would be appreciated, we are looking to start the application in the end of Jan 2019/Feb 2019. Thanks.
