What kind of stuff did you send and how long have you been with your partner?
I have read a few posts on here and they say the average time for this particular visa is around 6-12wks depending on how busy oz house is and how well supported you application is. I have even heard through the grapevine that some UK applicants have been approved after 1 month. I know this is unlikely but hopefully we can hear soon and get the great news we both want.
Good luck to you!

Hi,
My partner and I have been together for 7 years. He is from Darwin In oz and is currently there now as he left in March for a job.
For my application I sent
evidence)
1. Tenancy agreement with both our names on
2. Bank statements to show how we support each other finacially - we don't have a joint bank account but had direct debits set up.
3. Water bill, gas and electricity bills, council tax, TV licence, phone bill with both our names on some of these
4. Travel tickets and stubs to show evidence of our holidays together with our families and friends.
5.Wedding invitations
6.About 8 pages of photographs documenting from when we first met to now.
7. Stat decs from ourselves
8. Stat decs from 2 ozzie citizens - my partners mum and our friend
9. e-mail correspondance for our time apart
I think thats it. Most of the evidence was from the past 3 years. I knew they would ask for my partners bank statements for the earlier stages of our relationship to prove we lived at the same address. It was a bit of a nightmare as he sent all his stuff over in shipping and he just got these things last week and is sending them back to me in England.
Have they requested anything more from you? I have to also fill in form 80 and send that off too.
I'm hoping that it won't take too long Ive handed my notice in at work so I'm hoping that I will get to go By September - I'm a teacher so don't want to have to do dreaded suppy.
