Apologies for the delayed reply! We are in NSW

Hi there,
thanks for replying to my post late last year. We are still waiting on approval. Congrats on getting the approval before you entered. unfortunately my g/f had to enter on a tourist visa so we're awaiting word on the 309 now. So guessing we;ll have to go overseas when the decision is going to be made.

You’re counting from Nov 2018.

That's great. Thanks, JandE, much appreciated. We are just waiting on our 888's to come through and my AFP check, then we are ready to submit. I honestly didn't think it would take 4 months to do...

It is in both our names yes! So I can show the contract + the first amount taken out for the deposit + explanation I guess! Thanks :D

OMG!!!!! We have just had the golden email 2 minutes ago!!! Subclass 309/100 granted after an 8 month wait!!!! DOL: 24 May 2019 No agent No RFI So, so happy and relieved!!!

I don't think it matters even if people submit a few months after eligibility. They still seem to get finalised in the normal time frame after eligibility. I saw one get finalised one month...

It looks like it is the auto email sent out after 12 months.

I am pretty sure that the planning for the new rule on the sponsor to be approved first is designed with that in mind. To make it harder for an onshore partner visa from tourist visa. We did...

You have much more docs than we had, and we were granted the visa. You should be alright by the look of things.
