martinandbianca Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Thanks. It is such a relief. That feeling when you first hear that your visa is granted is unique. It was quite unexpected as well. Must have been because I'm travelling next Wednesday anyway. Can't wait to see my fiancée again. Rang her at 2am to tell her. Good luck to everyone else that is waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Guess who's going to be on the phone to their CO on Monday? Congrats guys!!! Thats's awesome news!!! Best of luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinandbianca Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Guess who's going to be on the phone to their CO on Monday? Congrats guys!!! Thats's awesome news!!! Best of luck! One thing I never actually did was ring my CO. I emailed a few weeks ago explaining our circumstances(Bianca forced to leave uk-see earlier posts) and that I wanted to travel on my current tourist visa then I emailed again with my flight date. I am in no doubt that this is why we've been so lucky in getting a 3 and a half month grant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations, I can imagine the relief. All these early/quick grants are v encouraging. I lodged my pmv300 in July and have booked flights at the end of Nov, just hoping it comes in mid Nov, might send my CO an email just letting him know I've booked. Exciting!!

Guest Bazinga Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Huge congrats to those who have had recent visa grants! Very exciting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BazzRose Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 For those that have gone over, or going over, on a tourist visa: How did you go about doing it? Did you book flight first, then applied for tourist visa and after then told CO, or vice versa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoandJon Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I am in a 7-year same-sex interdependent relationship (as the visa-lingo defines us), resident in Oxford UK. 29/09/11 - sent off application (frontloaded: 47sp; 40sp; 80; 88; Values Statement; Medical; Police check; & all required suporting evidence & statements). 30/09/11 - email received stating our payment couldn't be processed -> panic stations -> quick phone call to bank -> no problems -> resubmitted payment details via email over Aus. public holiday/weekend. 4/10/11 - 1st day open after Aus public holiday. No C.O. email, so called to confirm payment had been authorised & application being processed. Relief! Will update as progress has been made... Arrgghhh that must have been nerve-wracking!!! You should get a CO email any day now, ours was 4 days after the payment was taken. I was confused for a minute by the public holiday - then realised of course it's canberra not victoria! Different states have some different public holidays - the main ones are all the same, but some of the 'smaller' ones are different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llessur Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Woo hoo - at last I can properly join this thread. Please see timeframe to date below - will add further info as it progresses: 26/09/11 - 309/100 application sent to AH by Special Delivery 28/09/11 - Email received requesting alternative form of payment (Amex not accepted by AH) 29/09/11 - Full payment taken from Visa card 06/10/11 - Case officer assigned (WP). Medicals and police checks requested. Only other info requested at this stage is certified copy of my OH's UK passport (we only sent a copy of the Australian one). Hopefully this is a good sign. Out of interest has anyone else had WP as CO? That's a bit lazy of me I know - I'll look back over this thread... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
