Firstly, i would like to say thank you all for the great support I have received over the past year from all you posters. I don't often post but i do give thanks when I feel that information is of particular help to me or I think it will help others.
Until this week i thought that i was clear about the process for the CVP143. However, I am now unsure about how long I will have to pay the 2nd instalment.
My position is that my visa application was acknowledged 15 June 2009. I am thinking of getting meds done now so that they are, hopefully, passed by the time CO is appointed in Sept/Oct this year. I hope to be out in Oz by end of October or early November with or without my visa and go offshore if necessary to validate the visa if not granted before I leave.
Once CO has meds and police check and AoS paid, which I believe you get 28days to do, how long do I have to pay the 2nd instalment?
I realise that the visa won't be granted before the 2nd payment.
One last question, I already hold a current police check as I am a health worker so is this acceptable for my visa purposes?
