Tntaglia Posted January 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Updated table - CONGRATS @Sunet I'm thrilled for you! I assume it's a direct grant, super quick even for that, just over a month including the Christmas break. Well done!

Thank you! We're all crossing fingers with you - still 6 weeks to go so anything can happen. FWIW I've been reading a LOT on the times for invites etc and two things that may give you a bit of hope: 1. Historically many more invites go out in Jan-March than in the rest of the year (and DIBP is pushing hard to get through the backlog apparently at the moment so that should help) 2. There were very few invites in Nov to early Jan and that may mean that bulk invites go out in the next round or two. Hopefully it includes you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charnmario Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Congrats to all the visa grants. We're finally submitted the completed UAB BCs and hoping for great news soon. We lodged on 15 June 2017 so you can imagine our patience levels by now. Is there anyone else waiting since June? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still have just over 5 weeks before then, I am sure the invite will come through! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
