Hi Everyone,
I was a silent follower all this time. I just wanted to share this with you because all this time I was in the same situation as you guys not knowing what will happen. I got my direct grant yesterday,
Applied: 23rd Feb 2018
Subclass: 489 Family Sponsored
Direct Grant: 17th April 2019
CO: Nicci
My application was not a straightforward case. We had our daughter when we were on 489 and my wife went back to our home country to deliver her. Then I applied 489 separately for her and finally we were back in AUS. So when I saw the requests made by CO's I thought that they will definitely ask for the daughter's medicals or stat declarations or something. But against all odds we got a direct grant. So patience definitely pays off and it's not always the worst as we think it is.
I wish everyone all the best and hope you will get your grant soon, especially those who have been patiently waiting for a long time. And I thank all of you for being a part of this amazing forum and @Russki you have been such an awesome positive and supportive person and I can't thank you enough for being a hope for everyone. I will still stay around to see your grant..
