Hi All,
Just wanted to say that I received my visa grant about an hour ago. Applied on 29th September and it was a Direct grant.
Thank you for all your help and for the valuable information contained within this thread. Having joined this forum about 2 weeks ago, I uploaded more documents to prove my work including Bank Statement, Group Certificates, SuperAnnuation Certificates. I also got everything certified and added 28 Payslips to prove work for the year.
The support received was very reassuring especially since people kept updating when they applied for visas and when they were granted visas. This helped me create a rough timeframe.
For others reading this message, please note that I uploaded additional documents on 8th December and on the main application it said that the documents were received by the Department. However, I called yesterday as the 'List of Documents' section had my original date of application as the last updated date. I was told that they had not received the documents I had uplaoded on the 8th December and was told to email it to them.
I followed up with a call this morning and I was told that the documents have been received. Might be worthwhile to check your immiaccount regularly to see whether your documents have been received and if in doubt,please call them and follow up.
For all those who are still waiting, best of luck and Thanks again
