Hi everyone!
ThoughtI would share my Timeline with you all since this forum has helped me a lot while doing research.
Lodged application on the 24th of Jan 17 (hamilton branch).
Got a phone call 2 days later that I needed to supply my original birtcertificate and application was being returned. Returned application received on the 27th and returned with original birth certificate that same day.
Received email from co on 13th of Feb requesting original copies of my tenancy agreements as well as utility bills. Sent that same day. I emailed my co to make sure everything was all good on the 20th of Feb. She replied within the hour saying that she had recommended for my visa to be approved and that a senior co was checking things over. Told me she'd email me as soon as she found out. Received an email on the 24th of Feb from her to let me know my visa had been granted and if I could send my passport. Sent passport out the same day and received it back on the 1st of March. 😊😊😊
My co was absolutely amazing, super friendly and fast to reply to my emails. Couldn't believe everything was done n dusted within a month from lodging the application.
I supplied the following partnership evidence:
Photographs
Shared Insurance policies
Affirmation letters (x7)
Joined tenancy agreements
Correspondence between myself n partner
Joined airplane/bus/train tickets
Shared bank account details
Shared utility bills
Goodluck to everyone who is still waiting! Fingers crossed 😊
