AK2910 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I don't suppose anyone on here lodged around October/November 2018 and still waiting for your grant? It seems like lots of people who lodged after that time frame are getting their grants (although I am of course very happy for you). It does play on your mind "why haven't I had mine yet?" more grants are coming through! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ga_brysia Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Just got my request for RFI : 'Your sponsor must complete Form 40SP ‘Sponsorship for a partner to migrate to Australia’ online at: https://online.immi.gov.au/lusc/login' So I guess you cannot attach a copy of it to the main application (as we have done) any more. We will do it tonight and I hope the grant will be soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterflies1988 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Processing times have gone up today by a month probably due to the lack of any grants this month! I'm sick of logging in to check I feel like it's becoming slightly obsessive! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get up, have a coffe, have a shower, check the immi account! Good to see activity with some RFi's as well. Means they haven't forgotten about us! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Our Visa Entitlement Verification Online system (VEVO) allows visa holders, employers, education providers and other organisations to check visa conditions. VEVO can only provide information about people who have their details available in our systems. You may not have a searchable record if you migrated to Australia before 1990 and have not since travelled out of Australia. You may then need to apply for an electronic visa record. Some people may have an ImmiCard issued by us. Government agencies can then use the ImmiCard to check their commencement of identity in Australia."

Was the RFI via email or through the immi account? I keep seeing that everyone checks their account regularly but I only check once a week or so, I thought it would come via email also but maybe not?

I just wanted to double check because I’ve definitely not logged on for a while, I tell myself I’m handling the wait fine by not doing it... but then I check this forum 20 times a day!

Of course happy for the grants coming through but yes cant help wondering what has happened to my application. At least an RFI is some acknowledgement that it has some movement but nada. Oh well fingers crossed and will continue to nag agent..... Can i check application through my immi account even if my agent lodged it?

Not sure if ones with agents are actually taking longer! We’ve not had any RFI yet but trying to think positive and hope that we have submitted everything they need. I contacted our agent again last week but she just reassured me that it’s not unusual to wait this long. Hopefully something will come through for us in next few weeks.

Ticklebug74 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Hi everyone. Have been a quiet observer on here for a while but we (or my husband that is) received his golden ticket today - both visas came through together. We are so excited and nervous at the same time. Now the hard work begins. Good luck to those on their way and especially to those still waiting. Hang in there as it will be worth the wait! All the best, Jodi 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ticklebug74 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 We applied early February. No RFI. We did not use an agent and front loaded the application. Fingers crossed for you soon. Not sure if it makes any difference at all (seems to be no rhyme or reason to why some get rfi’s and others granted quicker than those who applied earlier) but we have been together 15 years (all of it living in the UK) married for 11 years and have 3 children. And interestingly, he has a year from today (and not the date of his medical back in March) to enter Australia. He also got both visas granted at the same time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mppc Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Fantastic @Ticklebug74 you must be so relieved it's through. I'm stressing like mad checking my account every day multiple times. Waiting it out at the minute in Brisbane arrived on Wednesday. Good luck everyone! I know we say this every week but hopefully next week will be the big one with a lot getting through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
