Husky Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Ah @JonathanR You beat me to it. Haha. So chuffed for you. Hope you enjoyed celebrating. Melbourne sure is going to be busy in 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonathanR Posted February 9, 2017 Report Share Posted February 9, 2017 Thanks Guys @Husky, no celebration yet unfortunately, I am away from my family in the UK attending my sister's funeral. I will be back next week and then can celebrate the visa. It's still great to think that I can continue forward now knowing my house is sold and my visas are done.

RedPanda Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Condolences! It's always emotionally confusing when two massive things like that happen at the same time. We'll be thinking of you. Tough time ahead, but at least you know the trajectory of your future path is good, hold onto that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichKen Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 Condolences @JonathanR. We had case officer contact this morning.... requesting information that has been provided to our agent... need to find out what's the story, but seems it's how they've uploaded the information, if I check my immiaccount. On the positive side, at least my theory seems to check out, expected contact around now, between today and next Friday was my quiet expectation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvh Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Waiting room blues. I've been told to just chill and don't think about until 3 months after application marked "complete". Eish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichKen Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Our waiting was so close to over before our second information request on Friday, but instead of a grant we are back to waiting, and for something so very simple! So now trying to just forget about it for ANOTHER month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJDLmoving Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Oh No @MichKen What did they want now? If you dont mind me asking? When did you first click "Information provided button"? Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichKen Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 We clicked on 09 Jan and second contact was 10 Feb. Hubby and kids passports were uploaded with mine in one file, under my name and so was one of the birth certificates uploaded with mine; so these are the documents they requested. They were supposed to be uploaded onto their own profiles... silly mistake. Docs were there just not where they were supposed to be. So may have been a grant if it wasn't for this! Argh, so frustrating! Button was clicked again on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chezzy Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) Hey everyone, @JJDLmoving - I wish I had some news, but we still have not heard back since requesting for our daughter to be added to the application I can't understand what is taking them so long just to do that, so we can proceed with her medical and everything can be completed!.Then, of course, we will have to wait again once that is done... This wait feels like torture, but we need to stay positive! On a lighter note, our house was sold, managed to do a private sale, and they want to move in mid-April! Everything is happening so quickly, and while we are feeling blessed to have found a buyer so quickly, our visas haven't even been finalized yet, so I'm a bit stressed out, to say the least. Now to get all our house contents sold, as we're not planning to take anything other than our suitcases with us. 17 hours ago, kvh said: Waiting room blues.

Eish. @kvh - I know that's what I should do, but in reality, it's just not possible at this stage, LOL! @MichKen - I agree with @RussellJfingers crossed you'll hear back from them sooner than expected!

MichKen Posted February 16, 2017 Report Share Posted February 16, 2017 The one nice part about the time difference is that you can do a final immiaccount check at about 9:00, know that today is not your day and move on with your day. #thereisalwaysabrightside 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 *crickets* Anyone else hear updates of any kind? I see the Jan/Feb group 189 & 190's are already getting granted as well as the Oct/Nov group (expected). Seems December is a bad time to lodge?

MichKen Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 I'm sure we will have some more movement very soon!! They seem very busy approving visas all over. Personally I'm not expecting further contact before 10/03, even though we will hit the 3 month mark since applying on 02 March. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 The world works in mysterious ways... Our VISA's were granted 21 February 2017, received the mail from our agent @SD_MOA this evening at 20:16 on my way home from gym. Still not really registering it yet. Will need a day or two to process that we have been provided with this wonderful opportunity / future.
