Good news for all, maybe a few more today seeing it's Friday:wink: If it helps anyone, my email came through at 16:30... I don't remember ever sending a relevant work email after 4pm ever, so kudos to them for actually granting it so late in the day. Hehe.

All my office jobs (which have been largely government jobs) have required me to work till at least 5 or 5.30, and if sending emails was part of the job I'd have to do it......!

Simmo1234 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Visa granted today!!! Just under 10 months for us... Straight to a subclass 100. Hearts were pounding opening the email!! We had to obtain an Australian Police Certificate (in addition to the UK one) unexpectantly - that was uploaded on 19th Jan and three days later, voila!! Good luck to all those still waiting... Patience is a virtue ☺️ And now, champagne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raillys Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Very positive to read Many people are getting Visa's in about 7 months! We nearly had heart failure, when we were told 9-14 months processing time. We submitted on 1st of December, and have so much to organise, Selling the house and getting the cats read for travel, really unsure if we should put the house on the market before my husbands visa is granted?

Tomorrow is exactly 7 months for me so hopefully next week is my week :smile: I'm not sure I would personally put the house on the market yet I haven't put any notice into work or anything yet but it does look like everythings moving quicker so can't hurt to start planning!! all the best of luck!
