820 Partner Visa – Lodged but no sponsor link yet

Hi everyone,

I lodged my onshore 820 partner visa application on 3 August 2025.
The status in ImmiAccount is still showing as "Received".

• Medicals have already been completed and uploaded.
• All relationship evidence was attached at the time of application.
• I’m the sponsor, my email is correctly listed in the application.
• It’s been 1 week since lodgement and I still haven’t received the sponsorship invitation link (Form 40SP).

I’ve checked my spam/junk folders, and there’s nothing there.
From what I understand, the Department usually sends the sponsorship link a few days to a few weeks after the main application is lodged, but I’m wondering if there’s anything I should be doing now to avoid delays.

Has anyone else had the sponsor link come through late?
Should I wait a bit longer or contact Home Affairs now?
