Hi All, Applied for 100 on December 19th, Submitted all documents on Janurary 9th, no updates so far, the status still shows as 'Further Assessment'. Kind Regards

We received an RFI in the beginning of April - we uploaded the documents requested a week later and today (16 days after RFI) we received a grant. So i'd say that it can definitely be sooner than 28 days!

G'day everyone. Ive been lurking for a while and Its my first post but wanted to share my experience with you all. Im an Aussie with British dual national, my wife is Indian but we have been living in the UK since 2016 (shes on a UK Spouse visa). Where do I begin, the wife and I decided after some good years in the UK we want to move to Aus to be closer to my family. We lodged our application for the 309/100 in the beginning of Jan 2019, and uploaded all her medicals and police clearance by end of Feb. Well, today we received a Grant for the 309, which is great news but honestly didnt think it would come so quickly! We uploaded all documents and evidence ourselves without the help of a Migration Agent (we were very meticulous with the documentation - over 70 documents uploaded!) I hope this gives hope to all of you who have lodged in 2018 or are lodging/have lodged this year. This also comes with a question for those of you who can help us out: As stated, we didnt expect to have this grant so quickly and couldnt be happier. However, we are due to go to Melbourne on Sunday (we applied for her tourist visa also) for my brothers graduation. The early grant of the 309 means that the tourist visa we applied for is now superseded and though we have until Feb next year to activate the 309 we are forced to activate the 309 as soon as she lands next week for our holiday. We are not ready to move to Aus yet and want to continue working in the UK until the end of the year. So my question is, after we activate the 309 next week, what are the implications if we return to the UK and continue living here until the end of the year or possibly even a few months into 2020? What happens when we get the grant for the 100 while we are in the UK? How long do we have once the 100 is granted to permanently move to Aus? Whats the process for that - is the latest date of entry for the 100 based on the medicals/police clearance like the 309 is? Id appreciate any guidance that can be given on the above. I want to thank you all for keeping this thread going, before this post I checked here every morning and it has kept us extremely positive in the past couple months. Kind Regards,
