Hi all,

My visa grant (309) came today!

Super excited and already planning our move early next year!

Congrats to all that got their grants! It's so good to see so much movements finally.

Hopefully Feb applicants will hear some soon :)

Hi everyone, update from me - I got my email last night that my visa is ready to grant!! Really pleased and relieved.

I've been in Melbourne since March on a 600 visa so need to leave within the next 6 weeks so my visa can be granted. 

Hoping more good news this week for others on here. 

Finally some movement!

Huge congrats!

Fingers crossed for the rest now!

Hi lepea,

Thanks for your reply.

What happened in our case is that yes in a first instance they all moved at the bottom, but about a month ago they all disappeared completely, so there was information next to the sponsor that 0 out of 100 documents were attached, but the categories disappeared too.

Few other people had that as well and I believe they upload all of the docs in'other' section.

We decided to call the immigration, as you cannot lodge an enquiry any more online (it's taking you to none existing page).

They were super helpful there and said, that what are they doing now is to check a sponsor before checking the applicant, so they checked all of the sponsor documents and they were fine so they disappeared from our immi accounts, but they can still see them on their end.

Hi thanks for the reply. I just checked with my mum who went through the process around 9 months ago and she said that she did it all under one immi account , she just did a new application . I wonder why they request different things from different people  

Hi Butterflies,

I think what's happened now is that they moving towards the approving sponsor before the applicant style, so they started to request the separate accounts from sponsors for everyone right now.

But that just started few months ago, so your mum might have been lucky enough to go with the 'old' system still.

I hope that helps.

I dont have 2 separate accounts both done in one account ... Will this be a problem?? I'm sure my mum did it this way too and was granted her visa but I will have to double check with her

Hi, you would need two accounts.

We just had one like you, uploaded everything under my (applicant) account but sponsor name all of the sponsor documents.

And in July we had an RFI just for a separate account for a sponsor.

Since then is very quiet, so I feel like it was a big overlook from our side to not have those two accounts from the beginning and extended our wait.

But you live and learn, we created a separate account for my husband now and waiting for any news, hopefully soonish :)

Hi Scotmeetssyd, 

So, I have just checked and within my husband's account, the sponsor (me) document section is showing no documents uploaded.  I'm sure there were at least 30 in there.  I called Department of Home Affairs and they have advised to re-upload, which I have just done.  Don't know what has caused it....happy that I had logged in to upload extra docs and noticed.  Is yours still frozen for uploads?

Hi baloosy,

I checked my application and all of my husband documents disappeared from my application as well as from his Sponsor application. I wanted to re-upload them, but all of the categories for documents that we used before are gone as well, so I have no idea where to upload the documents, was yours the same?  

Hi all,

First off, many thanks to everyone in these forums for their help and information and best of luck to everyone in their applications. 

I've logged onto my Immi account to have a look and seen that all documents under my husband's section have gone. Not just the documents themselves, but the actual category that the documents are listed under have dissapeared. There are currently no documents there. My husband then logged onto his Immi account where he had uploaded his sponsor form etc, and found the same. 

Anyone else have this issue? We could re-upload it all but the categories are now gone...

Finally! Congratulation!

I hope it's not a one-off and we will get a shower of golden tickets now!

Just got my request for RFI : 'Your sponsor must complete Form 40SP ‘Sponsorship for a partner to migrate to Australia’ online at: https://online.immi.gov.au/lusc/login'

So I guess you cannot attach a copy of it to the main application (as we have done) any more.

We will do it tonight and I hope the grant will be soon!

Congratulations @Steppy @roomummy !!

So good to finally see some movements and grants!

OMG I’m going bonkers and it’s only been 4 months for me. Every time I get a little excited about our wedding I stop myself from making any plans because you just don’t know when it’s going to happen. Or IF! Not that I want to think of that! Lol. 

Last week was a let down on grants but maybe there will be a few this week. Hopefully all the older ones get granted so you can move on. 

Good luck everyone!

I feel exactly the same! I don't mind waiting when I see that something is happening, but right now it's just dead quiet...

I hope it picks up soon, cause I'm already checking my immi account every hour or so!

I'm planning to go to Canberra around Dec/Jan and I hope my visa will be ready by then.

I guess we all need to be patient and wait and see.

Congratulations everyone!

I hope they won't slow down!

Although I booked my medicals for 19th of June as I didn't expect them to contact me earlier than July/August!
