Finally. I am a Canadian who is in a de facto relationship with an Australian.
Timeline:

March 2, 2009 completed Health checks
September 13, 2009 assigned a case officer
September 15, 2009 applied for Canadian and Australian criminal record checks
November 12, 2009 assigned a new case officer who wanted me to start all over again.
November 2009 granted a work visa
December 2, 2009 visited Sydney office to find out what was happening with my case officer as she wanted me to start the process all over again. Granted a new case officer
December 18, 2009 granted visa. Wahhhoooo.
This is just my temporary partner visa. I have to wait 2 years and then apply for my permanent partner visa.
Congratulations :cheer2:
Wonder what happened that (3) COs were needed to finally get it done.
Hopefully the permanent spouse visa in 2 yrs goes much smoother.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Geez, that's a long timeline for a temporary partner visa isn't it????

You are there. Half the battle. Now get your ducks in a row, a very neat tidy row, and all of them holding hands and looking after each other and you should have no problems.Finally. I am a Canadian who is in a de facto relationship with an Australian.
