mppc Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Hi @Pneill I used pink for logged then orange when the RFI was requested then green for Grant. I changed the colour of the name too so white when logged when RFI came then name changes to orange then when grant comes name goes to green - means you can see at a glance who is where and I numbered the weeks so you can also see the weeks. the dates are by week not exact day so when you add a person it will be for the week. I hope that makes scene? If you need any help just give us a shout im sure @CEP will help you too as she set it up at first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New year started, job come to an end and getting ready to put house on market but....still no visa. Doesn’t look like there have been any grants for weeks now - ? Anyway in an attempt to retain my sense of humour I thought I’d share a photo of the lovely mug I got given for Christmas. That cup is brilliant and sums up mine and my husband’s feelings lol.

I almost don't believe it but am so utterly relieved. 50 weeks of one of the most stressful times of my life. I think I need to let it sink in as I think I'm a little shell shocked lol I was down to the wire, heading back to the UK on holiday on the 14th then back to kick start my new life properly this time. Thank you so much for all the help and advice from everyone it really helped out in the dark times. Congratulations!!! What a way to start the year! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Returnhome Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 So they’re up to March now. Does anyone know on average, how fast they get through a month’s intake? For example how many months wait before they start on April? Obviously I want them to get to August as fast as they can.lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We applied in May 19 so would like to be ready if we can predict anything (police checks and medical already done and loaded). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've completed my medicals in Dec, now getting criminal checks done and Sponsor's birth certificate.

mjpoplett92 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 9th Jan 2020: 309 Granted!!! Applied: 21st Feb 2019 RFI: 9th December 2019 (medical and police check done nov/dec time) Entry by 9th Jan 2021 Information for the 100 by 21st Feb 2021! Woohoo! Now to finish selling the house and the prep work begins!

Pneill Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Absolutely gutted today my husband has been let go of work, was sent an email saying no longer needed and no 7 days notice or nothing. Generally we applied for his 600 (3months) and then decided he should just stay here and keep working and send me money for house etc.... no hes no job I'm leaving next mo day 20th we booked him flights for the 6 feb to come over on the 600 visa so he can sort kids out for school and get in routine and I need to go to work to support us all. Now I'm worried in case hes in oz for 3 month and no 309/100 and then has to come back to scotland for god knows how long and I'm worried incase me working and kids dont work out and I dosnt all work out. I'm freaking out, worried, feel sick and peed off this visa is taking forever. Still no rig either. Applied 17th june 2019 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRS Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 @Pneill Maybe change your perspective a little to see the positive. Your plans have changed slightly but This means your husband wont be separated from his family in short run, and the transition for kids will be easier and for you. Yes he may need to return/go offshore but the turnaround for 651 evisitor is a lot shorter (and free) than 600 if the decision on 309/100 hasnt come through or he could return and find short term work in uk to help ease any financial burden until decision made. You just have to be flexible as to plans given you are moving while process is ongoing (rather than moving after grant) so there will be moving parts out of your control. As for worrying about it not working out in oz, well it takes about 6-months to a year to fully settle into a new country so there will be bumps along the way but you need to just focus your energies on making it a positive move and making the best out of the situation.

Pneill Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I know I get all that just disappointed all kind of thoughts running through my head with different emotions. It's hard to hear that everyone else is getting 12 months on the 500 but he gets 3 months as well I dont understand why they do that. I'm just hoping that within the 3 month he gets his 309/100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all the information here, and good luck to everyone that is still waiting for their golden email! 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
