Visa granted yesterday for us, so 14 days in total from applying for visa to grant. Although it is multiple entry, only 6 months maximum stay and 3 years visitors visa.
I am in Victoria, my parents who applied for exemption are in Delhi. They applied for 600 on the 24/10 and exemption on the 29/10. Exemption came on 4/11 but no sign of visa yet.
Those who received the exemption how long before the visa is granted, our 600 is stuck on received. Exemption took 7 days, was granted last week on Friday.
