hi everyone, i would like to seek help if anyone from here shared my current situation. we are on a 475 visa and about to lodge our PR. we have a son who is 19 yo living with us ever since, currently studying full time but is now taking casual job of an average 3 days a week. our concern is his being working part time can affect his status as our dependent come assessment of our PR visa application. i would appreciate any reply especially advice to this query. thanking in advance.

please update my details, visa grant 05 sept 2012.

After 34 months of waiting, we have finally received our golden ticket to oz. I received the great news from my very efficient CO from Team 7 yesterday 05 Sept. We will be heading to SA the state that sponsor us and hopefully to live and stay in SA probably in Adelaide for good and keep our promise when we requested our state's sponsorship. I hope and pray that every one waiting will get their own share of joy in His perfect time. I tell you, it's really sweet to get your visa granted. Good luck and God Bless for all of us... For info, I got our CO on 18 May 2012, Secured our medicals and PCC on 29 June 2012, my daughter's medical was referred for further review on 06 July and got finalized on 01 Sept then came the visa grant after 3 days from the date my daughter's medical got finalized.

Now I know what others felt when they received their visa grants coz we received ours yesterday 05 Sept. The pain of waiting for 34 months was replaced with joy in an instant, i almost cried yesterday when I saw the email from my CO bringing the great news. BTW our CO needs to be commended because he really acts so fast. My CO is from Team 7. I'll continue praying for those who are still waiting and i earnestly hope to see you in the land down under. we are being asked to make the initial entry before 29 June 2012, the date when my medical was finalized. We will be heading to SA probably in Adelaide. Lastly, I would like to say thank you to this forum and to all nice guys that became my source of inspiration to keep sane and survive the ordeal of waiting. See you guys.

hi pumpkinhead, please update my status. my daughter's medical has been finalized yesterday 01 Sept 2012. Btw, I'am from the Philippines. good luck to all those waiting for their medicals to be finalized. good day. 3jps.

hi pumpkinhead, 475 State Sponsored (SA) Lodgement date: 16 October 2009 CO assigned: 18 May 2012

hi please include me in this thread. my daughter's medical was referred on 06 July 2012. No development since then.

Hi virtual_bajwa huge congratz on your visa grant. i hope for a better future for you andfor your family.

Great news. congrats mlsdq. btw, when do you intend to make the big move? cheers.

thanks mlsdq. my co wanted me to substantiate my employment by submitting several documents like tax payments, pay slips, bank statements and social security payments as proof of employment.

God is great... got our CO, team 7.

nice to hear that you really got a co. i am hoping for a speedy visa grant for you.huge congrats.

my fellow cat5's, in anticipation of the possible processing of cat5s by end May i would like to solicit advice from anyone because my daughter will turn 18 next month on what to do to prove that she is still our dependent and should remain part of our visa application. i understand she will also be required to prove English proficiency. Would it be sufficient to show that she studied in a high school and is studying in a university that uses both English as medium of instructions in lieu of the IELTS? I hope to hear your thoughts on this. Of course I will not forget extending my greetings to VB for getting his CO at last. Congrats VB and I wish you'll get your long overdue visa asap..cheers! 3jps.

thanks kabayan and congrats for getting your CO. you're just a month ahead of my application. me too is an offshore applicant sponsored by SA. I hope you will get your visa soon. God Bless and wish you all the luck. 3jps

thank you bright guy. now i understand that i need to appreciate the onshore and offshore streams across categories to see your point.
