Hey all, first post here but I've been following this thread for a while and it has been invaluable in helping to put together our visa application, so thanks to everyone who has input on here!
I just wanted to post to give visibility on our timelines:
Visa application: 16th Feb 2021
Medical done: 19th March 2021
Police clearance uploaded: 19th March 2021
Visa granted: 22nd April 2021
I'm an Australian citizen and have been with my partner (de facto) for the past three and a half years
Best of luck to everyone who is either starting or in the middle of this process. We're looking forward to getting to Australia now!
