2017 Timeline

Whooop whoop

Thank you for all your help.

VISA APPROVED

Congratulations!!! 

Congratulations!!!!

Decision made email came this morning for us!  I'm hopeful that there is an approval coming our way, and that it's a good sign that a decision was made only a day or so after sending in our missing documentation.  I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that everyone else waiting gets some news very soon.

Here's our current timeline, and I'll update again once I get the actual decision:

Priority spousal visa
Online application submitted:  February 21, 2017
Biometrics completed:  February 24, 2017

Fantastic news! Hopefully you won't have to wait too long for the return of your documents!

Quick update, will provide full timeline when I receive my docs back:

Feeling unexpectedly and uncharacteristically emotional.

So happy to see decisions coming in!

So it looks like priority has taken about three weeks to process, does anyone know what that means for non priority processing times?

It's really hard to estimate these things when there's been a slow down in approvals.

But as priority is taking 3/4 weeks, I would anticipate non-priority to take 6/8 weeks.  Entirely a stab in the dark though!

Thank you! Even having just a rough estimate helps!

It was quiet yesterday so I'm glad to see a few more heard today! Still a few days ahead of me but I'm hopeful I will hear at least by next week now!! Congrats for the approvals and fingers crossed for all your decisions coming through!

If I remember rightly your application was received the same day as ours 3 March, there seems to be some who are getting their decision e mail whose applications were received 2 march, so here's hoping!!!

Yeah, I'm watching out for you too, you were the first person to respond on the march 2017 thread I started, agonizing isn't it, even though you know you can do nothing other than wait.
