Speechless!

Just got our 309 and 100 grant!!!!

January applicant, 7 years relationship, married and Australian kid. 

Do not regret applying to 600 just two weeks ago as we needed a visa to finally book our tickets. But now everything will be smoother. We get to Gold Coast last week of Jan. 

@Butterflies1988 No idea why they are asking more RFI of the same stuff to people but at least theres movement. Saw somewhere someone had an RFI and then a grant after uploading what was needed. Hopefully they are granting heaps of visas this month! 

Good luck to all. I know the waiting sucks!!!

@Maricota fantastic news.

@Butterflies1988 great news.

and keeping everything crossed for all still waiting, esp through the turmoil of RFI’s!
 

if nothing this week for me - I’m resigned to making a visitor visa application.

Hi guys I received another RFI today which I responded to with the information immediately so hoping I don't have to wait another 6 months for a response again! This is so stressful! Arrgghhh

How infuriating. Could I ask what they asked for?

I’m on similar timelines, (applied 29/1) with a RFI for just Husbands OZ police check in July.  
 

I was Really hoping that would be it.

Fingers crossed you hear soon.

Hi -  I’m a January applicant. Applied 29th Jan from London, RFI 16th July (husband’s Oz Police check)

In relationship for 19years, married now for nearly 15. Two children -10&8  - both citizens by decent.

Hopefully off to Brisbane.

Fingers crossed for everyone waiting.

I had a RFI 4 months ago and uploaded the information within 2 days, not a single word from then.

Anyone else on the same time line as me? Hoping this week is the week it's been so slow. 

@mppc & @Butterflies1988

I’m also on similar timelines. Applied 29th Jan. RFI July. Very frustrating.

We are considering going after Christmas so children (citizens) can at least start the new school year out in QLD.

I need to go on a tourist visa - so I’d welcome any advise/ experience of those who’ve applied offshore and then entered on a tourist visa. I almost dare not apply in case the 309 is in process of being issued and I in some way scupper things.

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?  

I just double checked mine on back of this thread and my RFI uploads from July we’re missing too. Thankfully though still give me an option to attach additional files - so uploaded again.

I used PetairUK Gold treatment!! Cost a fortune, if you haven't had your pets rabies jabs and test, you must start this now as takes 6 months from then before they can fly!

 

Thankfully he’s got the rabies and the titre test done. 

I recently tried to navigate the import licence website myself and gave up! 

I thought the dog would be what held up the family’s moving plans ... how naive I was! It’s me.

You have a similar timeline to us... Hopefully we don't have too much longer to wait! 

When did you get your RFI?

16th July. Uploaded about 2 weeks later.

Hi @Corkie

I know mine is a different Visa but I have had plenty of time to look over these blogs and we are roughly on the same time except for some unfortunate ones I have read.

There was a lul in Grants this time last year, maybe and this is a uneducated guess! like in most companies a lot of people take leave with the kids being off etc, so maybe there will be some movement this month and they are all bcd and refreshed, don't be disheartened by my time from RFI, I had mine in mid June and still heard nothing, but I have above average travel and address on my form 80 as I served for 22 years! was a beast getting the correct info for them!

My dog is flying over 10 Sept and I still have heard nothing so I am planning on joining her 21 Sept with or without. will just have to keep leaving every 3 months.

 

Congrats to @AK2910 that is great news for everyone and shows movement again!

 

Good luck all and all the best

@Jeannie thank you for your reply. Good to hear. And good luck with the move.

My only RFI was husbands police check. But given your email since I’ve travelled to and from Brussels multiple times over the past ten years - more than I have records for - I might need to get ready for another RFI!

As an aside - what company are you using for your pooch? I’ve had some quotes but not sure who to go with.

Hi,

joining this thread for a bit of support.

Applied for 309/100 London/ offshore end Jan 2019. Front loaded application. 

RFI husbands - Australian police check. Uploaded end July.

Waiting. Waiting. It’s torture!
