    Thanks everyone! Really hope @GRS hears something soon. I had just e-mailed our agent with more docs 2 days ago so could have saved myself an hour of scanning We’re planning on heading to Brisbane. I don’t think we’ll get down until May/June time as so much to organise before we go.

    I can’t quite believe it but i’ve received my golden e-mail. I was up at 3am feeding my baby when the e-mail came through from our agent. Both 309 and 100 granted at same time. Entry needs to be made before 20th November 2020. We applied 3rd December 2018 through agent. Medical and Police checks done in March 2019. We had absolutely no contact or RFI’s except from the grant. We have been together for 8 years (married for 2) with 3 kids who are all Aussie citizens. Hope the last of the 2018 applicants have all received their grants now.

    Congratulationa to all those who have received their grants! Is there anyone else still waiting from December? It’s 11 months today for us and we’ve heard absolutely nothing.

    It all seems to have gone very quiet again We’re now 10 months in with no contact whatsoever. I submitted my medical and Police checks in March. I’m really hoping not to incur additional costs having to redo these. The lack of contact is so frustrating.

    Congratulations to all who have received their grants this week! It’s great to see so much movement. We still haven’t heard anything not even an RFI I’m really hoping ours is looked at soon as the uncertainty of the situation is stressful. I think there is only us and one other person on this forum who applied in 2018 without even an RFI.

    Congratulations @Meath Lass & @Edinlass! Great news. X

    Thanks for this. There is also a problem with a backlog of applications partly due to the government applying a limit to the number of spousal visas which I believe is against the constitution. https://independentaustralia.net/politics/politics-display/partner-visas-another-dutton-scandal,12649

    Congratulations @LR&EA 19! So happy for you! Hopefully we’ll see some more grants this week.X

    Hopefully this week will see some grants! I’m wondering if delay is just down to staff holidays over the summer. Good luck everyone x

    My agent has now told me processing times are 18 months minimum due to the backlog of applications! Not sure my nerves (or gin collection) are able to cope. Anyone else using an agent and been told this?

    It’s so frustrating. Our agent is Australia based too. The agent that submitted our application has left the firm this week so it’s been assigned to another agent within the same firm. I’m concerned as we’ve not even had any RFI and submitted 3rd December 2018. Our life is in limbo at the moment as don’t want to take the chance of going down on a tourist visa with 3 young children. Hopefully there will be some movement soon.

    @AK2910 hopefully you’ll hear very soon - you must be close to front on the queue. It’s so difficult being unable to make plans. Think I’m becoming obsessed with checking this thread!

    @GRS I know where you’re coming from as it’s great to see grants coming through but also a bit frustrating as they don’t seem to process in date order. Not sure if ones with agents are actually taking longer! We’ve not had any RFI yet but trying to think positive and hope that we have submitted everything they need. I contacted our agent again last week but she just reassured me that it’s not unusual to wait this long. Hopefully something will come through for us in next few weeks.

    Congratulations @roomummy @Steppy! So happy for you both. Hopefully there’ll be a few more grants this week x

    Really hoping things start moving again soon. I think we’re bucking the trend at 8 months with no contact. I’m really hoping to hear soon as so much to organise if we plan on getting there for February. It would be great to see any movement. Good luck with your appeal Ben34uk.
