Pickle0406 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Hi all, Well 1st July is just next week and hopefully our visa will be granted as they stopped granting 489 because of planning levels. Anyone else waiting and feeling anxious! We've been waiting since March! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massivepantz Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I've only been waiting since May and the wait is killing me already lol! As you say, hopefully come the start of July, things will start moving Which state have you been sponsored by? We are WA and hopefully heading to Bunbury as soon as we get the visa.

massivepantz Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I have noticed that a few 190 visas have been granted for March applicants so hopefully it won't be long pickle0406 :wink: However, I don't know if the 190 visas get granted on the same time frame as the 489 visas....fingers crossed we start seeing some 489 grants!

massivepantz Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Does anyone know if the state you are sponsored by has any effect on how quickly you get your visa grant or does it just go on the date you submitted your application? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLP Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Got my Visa Grant today - wahoooooooooooooooo! Leaving in 5 weeks time! A huge Congratulations:wink: Thought they'd forgotten us 489'ers If you don't mind me asking, when did you lodge and what date did you receive your CO. We lodged our 489 SS QLD on the 14th March and received our CO 9th May. So tired of obsessing!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickle0406 Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 We'd been waiting ages! We submitted on 3rd January, got CO 17th January and on 3rd Feburary we was asked for further information, we submitted the further information and then got told that due to planning levels etc would have to wait until July. Got the grant today - VERY HAPPY! I'm sure yours will come soon, it is all moving again now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
