another "Got it" !
Hi folks,
I got my partner visa on Thursday afternoon - what a relief !
I was on a working holiday visa, & ended up applying one day before the visa was due to expire. (I lodged the application by hand on the 22nd). On Monday morning, my case officer gave me a call & said "Its a really good application, just come in for an interview & bring your passport."
The interview was a formality really - our case officer said that we had answered every question already, she couldn't think of any more to ask!
So, it took 7days from lodging to get the visa. We were told that it isn't usually processed that quickly - the fact that a) our application was straightforward & b) I had emailed the case officer the day after lodging, just as a "follow up" (this prompted her to give our application a quick look), meant that it was a nice easy case.
Anyway - thanks everyone here for your help ! I really appreciate it. Particularly MLbonner. Cheers Michelle !
Kind regards,
Mark
