@jim_hodge hello jim. How's wifey? Was she able to make it? Wich day did she attend the PDOS? It was a massive task for her but she came away with a sticker on her passport on Friday, then arrived home again exhausted on Saturday. It was another m…

@jim_hodge i will go to CFO on monday. hoping everything went well with wifey. I'm hoping too, I haven't heard from her since Tuesday, she left for Manila then to try and do the compulsory seminar, perhaps it's a simple chore for Manila folk but …

Good news! Our visa just came in. Now the work really starts, the worst of it being told my wife has to attend a seminar, a right royal pain for her, maybe not so hard for Manila people but a real chore for her. My preferred Jetstar was way too expe…

@jim_hodge hello jim. i hope by this time your wife's visa is on its way. please let us know of the good news. I wish I had some good news, still nothing. I've been fairly sick for a week too, which has added another layer of stress for us at thi…

@Inutopia42 Nope, but bear in mind today is a Philippine public holiday so no action is expected, also yesterday would have been an RDO to make it a long weekend.

@jim_hodge I am trying my best not to check mails every now and then so I don't get false hopes this is the burden of waiting. Any News? Actually yes, my wife received a lovely personally written reply to her email, we're hopeful now of perhaps h…

Hello and good morning everyone!!! Another day of waiting.... Yet another day, surely our end is approaching.

in PARTNER VISA (Subclass 309 & 100) Comment by jim_hodge February 2014
@jim_hodge have you tried sending her an email? My wife did a fortnight ago, received the stock reply about wait times.

@rose Wow what a great post, I didn't know we could attach a file. Congrats Rose your story reads much like ours except our connection is too poor for Skype to work well, we manage using Yahoo messenger and typing our way through speech.

@Inutopia42 No news yet, still depressed. My wife can't really get a job while she's waiting, so I've been supporting her for a year now, I suppose immigration know that so stretch out our waiting time as punishment. Now I'm just hoping she can be…

@Inutopia42 Nothing yet, we just keep patiently waiting. A blessing is having the internet to communicate a few times a day, it's a bit of a shame though that the connection never has the bandwidth we'd like but that's life.

Congrats Catseye, I feel a bit hopeful now, something to smile about on my birthday.

@Jay04 G'day Jay, back in June, there's a group of us from the same time all crying in our cornflakes waiting.....waiting.

Stock email, same as ours, says nothing.

@inutopia42 @jim_hodge no news yet, let's wait and see if my co will truly grant my visa end of this month. I'll be amazed if anything happens today or tomorrow, today is a public holiday and tomorrow will be a RDO to make a long weekend longer…

@jim_hodge Who is your CO? It's been so long I've pretty well forgotten, Santo Domingo or a name similar, hmm must ask wife she's handling it.

in PARTNER VISA (Subclass 309 & 100) Comment by jim_hodge January 2014
Ho-hum, someone please have a 309 granted so I can get excited again.

in PARTNER VISA (Subclass 309 & 100) Comment by jim_hodge January 2014
7 months for us too, we stay patient somehow. I'd love to read of a 309 being granted.

Fingers crossed that some of us have some luck next week, and I don't want to sound greedy but hope we're among them.

in Partners Visa Provisional Subclass 309 JUNE 2013 Batch Comment by jim_hodge January 2014
Pretty hard to stay positive, not hearing a word from immigration nor seeing any other visas being granted has made us rather depressed, and we fear asking any questions of immigration lest our application finds its way back to the bottom of the pil…

I wish someone would post a tale of a fresh 309 visa grant. I had my hopes up that ours may have been granted a few days ago but they were dashed, now it's too late to attempt a xmas union and I've become a bit glum.

@inutopia42 kainip n nga po, wla p dn blita.. Nor have we. If 6 months is the magic waiting time then we're due, it's a very nervous time.

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…

Well done. Looking at the dates it appears immigration let the application wait 6 months before blowing off the dust and rubber stamping it. With luck in 3 more weeks our turn will come, very tight timing with xmas close and a high airfare January f…

in PARTNER VISA (Subclass 309 & 100) Comment by jim_hodge November 2013
anyone here expecting for nov grant? Judging by the activity here of late I'd say no. I suppose since xmas would be the most awkward time to travel our grant will occur then.

in PARTNER VISA (Subclass 309 & 100) Comment by jim_hodge November 2013
@jim_hodge have you heard anything from the CO yet? Nothing since we've supplied all the docs they asked for. Xmas is looming now, I hope we don't get the nod too close to it.

@elcee Q Sto Domingo Same as ours.
