Yeeeessss one Jan application is gone!!! I'm soooo happy for you!!! Just one question: have you complained before your grant? Enjoy your life!!!

Last grant for people who applied in Jan 2018 was on April... are they having issues with the system or just they hate us?

I wonder if I’d used an agent my file would have been opened faster....? 

January  2018.............................Still waiting! 

I applied with an agent and still waiting

Are you using your bridge visa? Just wondering if people using bridges are granted because of that...

I think Dec 2017 to Feb 2018 applicants have had the worst experience. Still dragging on.

Website timeframe is 16-17 months still but actual processing time for direct grant is around 13.5-14months , hope they can further reduce the time to within 12 months

Not for me (and many others). Waiting more than 15 months...And I can't complain because I'm still in the timeframe

unfortunately if its within time frame(16-17 months) the complain wont be valid.

31 people contacted in Apr and 28 of those applied in Feb...They are just changing the timeframe so almost nobody who applied before feb can complain, but are working with people waiting less than 15 months..  Is really unfair...

Eyyy CO... Please, don't forget the people who applied before Feb 2018

16/02/18 Applied

05/04/19 more documents required 

AFP, kid’s Medical (both already updated)

 

Who was the CO?

CO will ask for it with 99.99% certainty.  Better to do it in advance, I think... Most of us here did ours in advance. ...and now we are renewing them because it has been more than a year wait!  

Even if I was not there since I arrived here with 489? We moved to Aus 3 years ago and we never leave the country.

I applied on 22/01/2018, first CO contacted me on 20/08/2018 and a second CO contacted me yesterday.

Yes @Russki, the CO contacted me today. My AFP expired so they asked for new ones.  Will be ready in a week...so I need to continue waiting....sooooo sad .  At least they opened my file  

Congrats @gaz88 ! Are your detail/timeline in the spreadsheet?
