Hey, we’re pretty much on the same boat, tried to email the partner processing centre at that time, and just received an automatically generated response and one of the point stated that
“The nature of Partner migration is such that all applications have an emotional or compassionate element. As many applicants are affected by international student fees, loan criteria or employer preferences, requests for priority processing on this basis alone will generally not be considered and no further response will be provided. If your request is approved, you will be notified within 2 weeks of your email.
Any requests for prioritisation should include all information and supporting documentation you consider relevant.
Please note: We are unable to consider priority processing requests for Partner visas lodged less than 2 years ago.”
Either way, won’t hurt to try to contact them. Good luck!
