Well they seem to be doing it faster than that anyway and at least it has not increased

Its average mate, don't panic

My Wife's was accepted like that for her 489 application and the rules have remained the same. Also it is clear what functional English is defined as on the DOHA website

It's 4.5 overall, not 4.5 in each

Fantastic news, enjoy!!!!!

If they have not contacted you then it may mean all your documents are in good order - direct grant coming hopefully

Good luck mate, you have come a long way, a lot of patience

I had friends who also swapped as main applicant and secondary applicant, and neither had to do the test again because they had both achieved competent English at the time of applying for the 489. Hopefully you should be ok but just make 100% sure

I reckon that they are running ahead looking at files to establish what may be missing or needing an update so that by the time they get to that application in the queue then it is very quick to grant. So if they don't phone or contact to ask for something then it may mean that your docs are ok

Good news

Are you talking about a secondary applicant on your visa, if so then I am sure that should be ok but best to consult someone in the know!

Very good that they are reviewing July applicants already

Yip no further 489 visas after 16 Nov 2019, after that it is the 491

And ofcourse,. if the department gives this forum 6 grants per day then everyone on our spreadsheet will be granted PR within the next 30 days!!! - wishful thinking

Fantastic, if this forum receives 4 grants per day then everyone on our spreadsheet will have PR by mid-July
