Granted yesterday too. π
SC 190 VIC, 16 May 2023 lodged. (17 months, 20 days)
No S56, direct update from Received to Finalized.
Did it with Visa Consort - they have been very helpful in my journey and thorough with the documents/details, so I think that helped a lot with ensuring my application is complete and decision-ready.
Thank you also to those who answered my questions here, lβd be happy to pay it forward and answer yours too, if I can. π
