So my road to residency has finally come to a happy end!
On Monday my boss sent some extra paperwork through to my CO as requested, and on Tuesday I tried to follow up. I heard nothing all week, so followed up again on Friday and still nothing. Meanwhile, my colleague who put his papers in in January had just been told to send through a few hard copies of things and his passports as he'd been approved. Judging by his experience, I was expecting the same.
Last night I very randomly checked my online status and it said 'APPROVED'!!! So did my partner's!!!
We put our papers in on March 21st so that means it's taken just over two months to get a CO assigned, and then 2 months from CO to approval!!!
So I guess they might still ask for that paperwork?
And how long do they normally take with stamping (we have a short trip planned in early September)?
Sooooooo happy!!!!!
