Golly vell I was feeling a bit optimistic until I read your post, how depressing.
When I read the rules for a 300 visa early this year I felt by reading between the lines that there was more chance of winning lotto than gaining a 300 visa, so I went and married then applied for a 309.
I can't help but feel your application is stuck in the bottom of the too hard basket, possibly alongside ours as they're possibly gnashing their teeth wondering how I managed to get married within the non-visa period timespan, but we remain hopeful of a visa in a few days time when our 6 months penance period is up. Po.
