Thank you, Jesus! Finally, the golden email has arrived! Visa granted! 🇦🇺✨
Thank you so much to this group. It truly helped me throughout our waiting journey. The information and insights shared here were very helpful and gave us a better understanding of our application process.
Waiting was not easy, but everything is worth it once you finally receive the grant. Have faith and trust the process, your time will come soon.
Special thanks to Smartvisa Guide for all the guidance and support. Keep up the amazing work. You are truly a blessing and a huge help to many of us who dream of moving to Australia.
Best wishes to everyone who is still waiting. Never lose hope, your time will come too. 😊

The golden email has finally arrived, just 3 hours after submitting Form 816! I responded to our second S56 request within 15 minutes. Because I had been tracking my partner's health clearance closely, I already had the form pre-filled and ready for immediate upload.
As a DIY applicant since the skills assessment stage, the Smartvisa guide was a lifesaver. I also uploaded extra documents based on the experiences shared by members of this group. It has been a genuinely tough journey for us, especially with my partner’s medicals being deferred twice by the MOC.
After multiple additional investigations and a 6-month delay (two times same 3-months investigation protocol). Facing that extended investigation timeline was incredibly difficult for us.
At last, with our parents blessings and God's grace, we made it. Wishing the absolute best to everyone currently expecting their grants after lodgement!.
