WE GOT OUR GOLDEN TICKET!!!! Both of them!

Applied 26th June 2019 with it front loaded via an agent.

Such an answer to prayer. House settles this Friday and ticket booked for the 2nd March!

Hubby applied on the 26th June too! Got all fingers crossed it comes through soon! We applied from the UK but via a migration agent in Australia so no RFIs yet. We did police checks in May last year and he had his medical last month! Lucky you having flights booked already! Husband and I were made redundant in November from the same company and sold our house at the weekend so last missing puzzle piece is the visa. We might end up coming over husband on a holiday visa and just at least house hunting and getting kids into school etc. Feel like life is just in limbo at the moment! Good luck to all who have just recieved how exciting!

Oh Wow that is fantastic and gives me hope. We only just applied for our 600 as well just in case. We sold out house just before Christmas, without evening putting on the market. It settles next week, which is what has prompted our early move. 

All the best with your plans! all very exciting!

Golden ticket! 309/100 granted today

Time to now plan the exit at our leisure, and then tell the families...

Heading to Brisbane later this year, like after summer

YEAH! Huge Congrats! What date in June? We applied on the 26th so was waiting knowing some are being approved.  We have booked tickets for the 2nd March but doubt it will be through by then.

Ahh it might be old news but just seen the global processing time has gone up to 17 months! 

Congrats on all the grants!

A quick question. We have lodged through an agent and front loaded everything other than our sponser form, as did this on paper with the agent.  Would people recommend getting that uploaded digitally also?

Thanks

Hi All. We are about to do our medical and went to print of the referral letter but I need to edit it. Does anyone know how I can do this?

Thanks

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.

Thanks for this. Ahh makes me sick to think about it. We almost went down the route of applying out there... kind of wish we had. 

Found a couple of links I thought people might find handy. Its about the migration program and the current numbers set.  Helps explains the long wait!

Been following this for a few weeks now, and its been interesting to follow people's time lines. Looks like we are in for a wait. 

Applied 26/06/19

Married 5 years.  Three children with Duel Cit. Looking forward to getting home again.
