GW150688 Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Hope you don't mind me asking when was it you applied? We applied on 13 October 2014 and it was apparently granted on 4 August. I got the 100 subclass straight away as well. God I'm so happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballbox Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Hi all, Great to find a place that has some information on visa timelines. Applied in January and was given the 10-14 months story. However I've heard from agencies that this can be quicker. Will keep you guys updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ballbox Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 On my application it's 15/01/15, was gutted as the price increased as of 01/01/15. I believe it has been increased again. So decided to join the forum, help me deal with "the process". Nice knowing I'm not the only one going through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiobhanandLee Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 You're a week ahead of me then! I'll be glad to hear when you get yours The prices are awful! I was gutted to have lodged mine after the increase as well. Still - at least it's not too far off now. This forum has been so helpful - glad I found it!

ballbox Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Just hoping it's under 12 months cause I got my medical done shortly after my application was made and that will only be valid for a year. We're heading over regardless I'm January and if it's not through them will just fly to Bali or NZ for a short break before returning to activate. Can't believe it's such a mission. I'm sure with the price increase and waiting times it's a deterrent for people to apply. Which is the point I'm gathering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozmichelle Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Hiya I got the 100 such a relief :smile: Congratulations! Can I ask how long you have been with your partner? I'm hoping my fiance goes straight to the 100 but not sure of what they consider to be long enough. We have been together in a relationship (as well as living together, we met as housemates) for 6 and a half years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We applied at the end of January too so hopefully they process all of our Visas around the same time :-) 10 months is around October so fingers crossed!

We have been together in a relationship (as well as living together, we met as housemates) for 6 and a half years. If I'm not mistaken, the rules are you have to have been in a relationship/living together for 5 years, or 2 if you have children. Congratulations! Can I ask how long you have been with your partner?

Helen Jonah Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Congratulations! Can I ask how long you have been with your partner? I'm hoping my fiance goes straight to the 100 but not sure of what they consider to be long enough. We have been together in a relationship (as well as living together, we met as housemates) for 6 and a half years. If you hae been together for 3 years, or together for 2 years but have a dependent child then you qualify for the 100. That's what the immi.gov info says anyway. Hope that helps.

Wkdstyle Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I've still not been assigned a CO, I'm flying to Australia on Tuesday. Do I have to contact the department to inform them I have a tourist visa or should I just wait till I get a CO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi You should definitely inform them that you are applying for a tourist visa otherwise you risk overriding your spousal visa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now for the fun part to start Thanks, man. We're chuffed. I'm still not entirely sure what difference being granted the 100 straight away will make, mind. Are there any benefits to having it?
