Hi everyone,
Finally it can be said.
My partner’s 309 visa was approved yesterday after almost 18 months.
Here’s our timeline:
Visa 309 lodged: March 11,2018
Medicals front loaded : April 16,2018
Request for more info: January 2019
Renewed passport: April 12,2019
Visa Grant: Sept 6, 2019
Recently, I uploaded our messenger chats since 2016 and proof of my AUS citizenship.
Actually, I was worried that our application may go through a difficult processing since ours is a same-sex set up.
But hey Australia has said yes and so we are ready to tie the knot soon as he arrives here next week, with a job waiting for him!!!
I couldn’t be thankful enough. Now we could start our lives together.
For those still waiting, don’t lose hope. The wait may be long but it’s what makes the grant all the more sweet and victorious.
Goodluck to everyone!
