hey all, joining in on the thread as i constantly scroll through thought i'd participate.  Anyone here used a MARA Agent to do theres? We submitted my application on 24th June 2019 and then Sponsor application went in 20th July 2019 so now just playing the waiting game. Probably made things lots easier prepping for the application but as someone who likes control over everything it's annoying i can't log in and check daily on the status hahah.

Hi,

I found this website where you can check if you have a valid visa using your TRN, DOB and Passport number rather then badgering your agent to check the immi account.

Not 100% if its completely up to date every day but atleast it gives you something to look at.

Hello everyone, 

Wishing everyone grants this week especially seeing how slow it seems lately. 

Especially those who submitted in 2018!

Good luck!

Congratulations everyone! Still nothing for us. I e-mailed my agent but get the feeling she thinks it’s not going to be looked at for a while and that I’m being silly chasing her already. I have said London do seem to be processing quicker than global times as per this thread. I think the most frustrating thing about using an agent is that I can’t check my account for updates!  I suppose I’ll just need to have patience

I can definitely feel your pain on this one, we just recieve a generic response of  'Please note the current waiting times are between 15-27 months'

Congrats to all who have recieved their visas! Happy for you all but also a tinge of concern as some applications were sent in Dec/Jan and we applied beginning of November 

Hey guys, been lurking around for a while here now and thought I'd finally put our dates up. We are living in France and looking to head back to the motherland by December. 

Application date : 02/11/18

Medical/Police Checks - 25/02/19

RFI - 04/04/19

RFI was for both police checks in Australia and also for both of our travel history for a 10 year period before we were together which I didn't quite understand but hey it's done now. 

We are using a migration agent in Australia and even with this help we've found the whole process to rather insane. 

Hopefully we'll here something soon
