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.
Just curious, what city are you living in? We're in Perth.

For quite some time JandE has kept this group abreast of the trends in processing times of various visas. His efforts are greatly appreciated by the vast majority. He freely shares his knowledge...

If by front load, you mean, attach all the documents without being asked for it, no I screwed up on that front. I just filled in the questions that they asked me to answer and submitted it in late...

I doubt if anyone is complaining about getting it, just the lack of info, and many people being confused. They then end up doing what the centrelink website says, after they receive their normal...

Some people, who got a normal pension (etc) payment on the 31st, expected the $750 to arrive at the same time. Logic says it's sensible to link the payments. But it didn't happen. Some got it...

I agree. Instant policy decisions, which takes time for staff to be updated with. This other $750 supplement, supposed to start on 31st March, had some people getting their normal pension on...

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...

[quote=mrsmorrow28;1980851] From what i've been reading from page 1 until page 15 of this post, some submitted the application a month earlier & also after the eligibility date... i think it is...

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

Criteria can be relatively generous depending on the passport you hold and temporary visas you can obtain. Many people can never visit Australia before obtaining a PMV or 309 grant - the rules...

It may a an unpopular view, but I think one of the reasons the price is so high is because the criteria are relatively generous, and therefore the visa is so popular. The number of people posting who...
