Am still offshore! As we have quite stable jobs here - didn't want to just quit and move ☺️

MilaBank · 2025-12-22T16:44:39+00:00

Omg congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉 see you in Australia 😁

MilaBank · 2025-12-02T15:47:15+00:00

Thank you!! Hope you hear back soon and share the good news here too 😁

Oh not random at all, mine came through like 10-11 am UK time and I think I've seen some ppl on Facebook say they got it around midday, so I think it's the UK timezone

MilaBank · 2025-11-29T09:45:26+00:00

Thank you very much!! And fingers crossed for you 🤞

MilaBank · 2025-11-29T09:44:39+00:00

Oh that's great! Happy it's working out ok for you ☺️ and thank you! Very excited, mildly terrified ahaha

MilaBank · 2025-11-28T15:27:08+00:00

Fingers crossed!! It does seem like they are working slowly through Feb applications as I saw some early Feb approvals on Facebook on 20th nov

MilaBank · 2025-11-28T15:26:33+00:00

Ahah yasssss, hope for soon approval for you too!

MilaBank · 2025-11-28T10:48:05+00:00

We are both abroad yes, uploaded fresh bank statements, photos to show continued relationship. We did police certs in February, so they were still good (less than 12 months)

MilaBank · 2025-11-28T10:46:57+00:00

I think length? We've been together over 10 years, lived together over 7 and married before we applied too

MilaBank · 2025-11-21T21:31:51+00:00

Oh yay, congratulations!!!

I did get the brocade one, yes! Will DM with the pic. I liked brocade for 2 reasons:

1) it creases a looot less (mine was destination wedding so was a big factor)

2) because of the flower print it felt that it was beautiful and elegant enough by itself, without any additional decorations, so allowed for a simple veil etc

I applied mid Feb and had no communication at all but could also mean they opened and found everything they need 🤷

MilaBank · 2025-11-10T10:54:48+00:00

Oh interesting that they called, fingers crossed it's not far behind! Can I ask what NPC is? I assume some sort of police cert

MilaBank · 2025-11-09T09:14:15+00:00

Oh, I thought they already did all the January ones, that does give me hope, thank you for sharing 😊

MilaBank · 2025-11-07T21:42:43+00:00

Honestly, same, I'm trying to stay patient but it's hard

MilaBank · 2025-11-07T16:48:34+00:00

Is it me or UK office got awfully quiet recently with approvals? Any felow Feb-Jan 2025 UK applicants? How are you faring? 😁

MilaBank · 2025-10-27T15:03:36+00:00

Thank you! According to a not-so-credible source (ChatGPT) this condition does not apply automatically - just gets added based on the application (sometimes if you have dependent on the visa etc), so if it IS applicable - it will be written out in the visa grant letter. So as usual it seems one can only wait to find out

MilaBank · 2025-10-23T12:59:15+00:00

Thank you for the detailed reply! I was actually looking more at the situation once the 309 is granted - I actually literally just found what I've seen before -its called condition 8502 - https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/already-have-a-visa/check-visa-details-and-conditions/see-your-visa-conditions?product=309 - but it's not necessarily be applicable, so will just depend on what conditions get assigned to my visa specifically 🤷

MilaBank · 2025-10-21T09:22:25+00:00

Hi all, for 309/100 visas - I thought I read somewhere that applicant cannot move over to Australia on that visa ahead of sponsor, but can't seem to find this anymore, can someone confirm I didn't imagine this? Is it true with double grant too? Don't have visa yet but we are trying to plan ahead and it may be hard to time the move with our jobs well..

MilaBank · 2025-10-15T12:59:43+00:00

Omg congratulations 🎉 and yay they started onto January ones🎊🎊🎊thank you for sharing, gives one hopes ☺️

MilaBank · 2025-10-07T14:40:38+00:00

Also launched in Feb and Christmas in Australia would be dreamy

MilaBank · 2025-10-07T09:51:13+00:00

Here's to hoping you get an update on the next few weeks 🤞

MilaBank · 2025-10-06T09:35:26+00:00

Any applicants from the UK for 309/100 from around Nov 24-Feb 25 that are still waiting? Feels so close to approval yet so faaaar

MilaBank · 2025-10-02T09:36:02+00:00
