    Hi Guys , So we also received our grant yesterday! (We applied 30th Dec 2018) Strangely, we were already on our way to Melbourne from London just on a tourist visa and whilst we had stopped in Singapore to catch the onward flight we received the grant email! I nearly didn't even see it as I scanned my emails but missed it. Only when my partner asked if any important emails had come through just as we were about to board the flight, I double check and saw it! Hang in there all as Jan/Feb grants must be on there way very soon now. Good luck all and Take Care

    Hi all, just wanted to hear peoples opinion on taking out the insurance when shipping furniture / goods. A) Do people think it's worth paying for the insurance? B) Has anyone had their items damaged or lost? Like is something that is likely to happen?

    Hi Steppy, I'm so sorry to hear that about your Stallion!! Can I ask what happened to him? Glad all the other animals are fine... I think our timelines are quite similar, but we're still waiting for our golden ticket!! Haven't heard a peep since our RFI on 22nd May!

    We applied on the 31/12/2018 and had an RFI on 22/05 which was uploaded the next day and have heard nothing since. Seems like there's a bunch of us that should hopefully be the next batch- Fingers crossed!

    Yea cool no worries. I was thinking it would be something like that. Make sure my partner has bank statements showing cash in bank accounts etc.

    Gongrats guys on your approvals!!! SO exciting. I wanted to ask anyone who's entered Australia on a tourist visa while waiting for the 309/100 approval: a) Did you only book a one way ticket? with no return flight and if so; b) what were the immirgration officers like when you entered? Did they grill you on only having a one way ticket? I do think it will be down to the specific officer you get possibly?

    Hi All - question for those of you who have had your visa approved....Did you have to send your passport off? We read somewhere that you have to send your passport off for them to stamp your passport? Just wanted to know if this was the case from people who have already had their 309/100 visa approved. Thank you!

    We applied 30th December, and were RFi'd 23.05.2019, but haven't heard anything since! There seems to be a few of us that were RFI'd in May and waiting on that golden ticket!! Good Luck to everyone!! Hopefully we'll get some grants or RFI's this week! Let us know if anyone hears anything xx

    Hi all – we’re still waiting for our approval, but we’ve decided to crack on with the move anyway. We’ve given Petair a date of 31.10.2019 for our baby boy (Rajjie) to fly over, and we’re going to try and be on the same flight as him. Just waiting to hear if Petair have the availability for him. We figure that the visa should hopefully come in the next 3 months, and if it doesn’t, my partner will enter on a 3 month tourist visa. Once Rajjie has spent his 10 days in quarantine in Melbourne, we’re hiring a campervan and driving to Perth, making a little holiday of it. So with the 3 months till we leave UK and the 3 months on the tourist visa, that gives us 6 months for the 309 to come which I’m pretty sure it will…well fingers crossed anyway. It’s now been 7 months since we applied and we just wanna get moving! So once Petair confirm their availability, it’s time to get things moving!

    I feel like it's now just a normal part of everyone's morning routine. Get up, have a coffe, have a shower, check the immi account! Good to see activity with some RFi's as well. Means they haven't forgotten about us!

    Omg omg omg! How exciting for you! Congrats. This also gives me hope and excitement that ours will be coming soon. So happy to finally hear someone got a grant! So awesome. Now you can really get the ball rolling xx

    Wow that’s so exciting!! Did you book your ticket whilst still waiting for your approval?

    Hi everyone, thought we'd add our timeline to the convo as we're anxiously awaiting our approval. We applied for our 309/100 visa on 30/12/2018. All police checks and medicals uploaded by 11/05/2019. RFI'd on 23/05/2019 for my (sponsor) Aussie birth certificate and proof that one of my parents were an Australian Citizen at the time of my birth (which they were). Sent those two documents off the following day, and now we're waiting for the grant! Like some others on here, according to our calculations on trends, we were thinking that we're due for a grant about 1 month and a few days after our RFI. We've been together for 5 years, not married but own a property together. We're flying our English Bulldog over as well, so really want to get the ball rolling and get over there already! We're moving to Perth which is where I'm from. We applied from London and didn't use an agent. If anyone has any advice or words of support when it comes to their dog flying over, we'd love to here them! Think that's gotta be the scariest part, our little pooch flying on his own and then 10 days in Melbourne! Lodge: 30/12/2018 Medical and Police Checks uploaded: 11/05/2019 RFI: 23/05/2019 Hoping to get going October/November
