Hi all, My processing time for a 186 visa. Lodged 6 June, medicals 13 August, P.R granted 16 Oct. Didn't get told we had a case officer, our emailed visa grant went straight into junk, noticed we had P.R yesterday (5 days later) by logging into my immi account. Lodged ourselves without uploading form 80.

Hi Ellis, I submitted all of our documents that needed submitting (police checks, certificates etc, very long winded) Just waiting on my sons passport to come back from UK (sent 23/5/14) only had 5 mth left on it, immi require at least 6 mth. Then we can have our medicals & then hopefully won't be long to we hear our fate. How is yours going?

Ellis, I phoned immi regarding the cost for lodging my application, you was right if we'd have lodged at the same time as the company we would have got it at the rates pre-July 2013, unfortunately we're having to pay the higher costs.

I think you are right, but will phone immi. Thanks

Can anybody advise what the costs would be for my part, as the company lodged the application before the price hike which was July 2013. Will we be paying the older cheaper prices? Thanks

Thanks for the above.

Yes Ellis, 11 long months of not knowing. Lodged 26/6/13 Case officer 5/1/14 Approved 20/5/14 They didnt use an agent and as from getting the case officer we was constantly getting asked for more documents, as I dont think my company knew what they was doing (first time of lodging for a 186). May be if they'd have used an agent it wouldnt have taken so long?

Hi all, Our employer has just been approved for the 186 visa after 11 month (lodged June 2013) We have a 7 month old baby (born in Oz) does anybody know if he needs to have a medical? Thanks

Hi there Jo and Jon, We're also coming to Victoria in a few months. Just wondering how much the total cost of getting your car sorted was, once you got over there, taxes, child seat anchors, registration, charges for valets and anything else you might have had to pay for. Did you have it cleaned before you shipped it, some people say I should, others are telling me there is no need as you have to have it done once it gets over there at a cost. Any help would be great. Thanks
