Thanks everyone, I've only just come down off the ceiling! Such a great feeling, had our champers last night that we'd been saving especially for the occasion. Congratulations to all who got grants and CO this week and good luck to those in the waiting room

:biggrin::biggrin:

Omg we've got our visa!!

Can't believe it, so happy:laugh:

Thanks for carrying on the thread, couldn't live without it at the minute! DIAC have everything they need from us now, so I am officially in the waiting room.....yippee!

Police checks back this morning. I'm not a criminal.......yay!!!! Last hurdle jumped hopefully. Does that mean I'm now officially in the visa grant waiting room, well I will be when my agent uploads them hopefully tomorrow:biggrin:

Great news everyone!!

 

I have a case officer now - yippee :biggrin:

 

My status changed to ABPF on Friday 11th but our agent got the email from our case officer this morning. They have requested police checks and medicals for myself and my husband.

 

Congrats to those that got grants today.

 

I'm so happy

Massive Congratulations:biggrin:

Hey Guess what everyone!!

 

I am finally a big fat PINK!!!

 

CO contacted me, albeit at 2:45am (not at 1:11am as was preferred LOL) requesting only medicals. When I got to work, I checked to see what is met and what's not, and everything has been changed to "MET" except the medicals!!! wooo hooooooo!!!! :laugh:

Oh thank god for that.........massive congratulations:biggrin:

... and still no news for me... :em4600:

Hi Sol2Oz it just doesnt make sense. I'd really love to know how they work their way through things. The logical and fair way would be to do it in date order, but obviously that doesn't seem to be the case. I have case officer guilt every time I see your posts:embarrassed: Really hope its your turn next week, keeping all my fingers and toes crossed for you.

Take Care

The 4th is strong with this one.:tongue:

That made me laugh so much:biglaugh:

Love reading this thread when I get up in the morning!

Hi Jen

 

Congrats on the Case Officer, I hope you get the other paperwork sorted. We've sent off our police checks and had our medicals on Monday which was fun, not, far too much poking and prodding for my liking!

Hi Claire,

Our medicals are booked for Tuesday and hopefully gonna get our police checks in the post tomorrow. I've sent the 1229 form that needs completing to my ex husband in South Africa this morning......FedEx £63 :huh: robbing b*****ds, so we'll see if it comes back. My agent said that if my ex does play silly buggers then we need to show that we've done everything possible to get him to comply and complete the form, then at least we've got a case to present back to the case officer. It's just a headache I could do without, the stat dec that was sent with the application was very clear and concise about him giving permission for our son to emigrate but oh well. So just police checks for you now..........then the elusive grant, exciting!!!!:biggrin:

Hopefully I read correctly this time - so congrats on getting a CO

 

I hope you are able to meet the CO's request. Is there any way that you can contact your CO and explain the situation?

Lol thanks jit7.

We just need to prove that we've done everything possible to get the information from him, our agent told us to try and not worry too much about it so I'm gonna try and enjoy getting a case officer for tonight at least!

Hi Jen,

 

Congratulations for getting CO.

 

We got our CO on 16th April, already had medicals and now waiting for our PCCs.

Did you submit anything originally with your visa application from your son's father to move to Oz? We submitted a hand written letter from my son's father (my ex) saying that he would support him in whatever decision he makes. So far we haven't been asked from our CO to submit any additional proof or fill out any form. Mind you my son will be 16 this month (if this makes any difference as in Oz any children under 18 are classed as minors and need both parents permission).

 

Good luck.

 

Yvonne

Thank you, it's great news. Just concerned now really. My ex husband did a statutory declaration for submission with our application so he has already given his permission, why they asking for this further form is beyond me. I know i'm going to struggle just because of the logistics the fact that he lives somewhere in south Africa doesn't help, but just another hurdle I guess.:twitcy:

And form 80:err: what is that about......jeezaloo, that'll take us forever!!

Congratulations on your case officer too.

Jen x

So the good news is turn me PINK got a case officer. The bad news they've asked for my ex husband to fill an extra form in giving permission for our son to go. They've already got a stat dec just concerned that I'm not gonna be able to get this done. He lives in south Africa, have no address or contact details for him. He's obstructive at the best of times. What should have been a happy day is turning out to be not so happy.

:-( Jen x

Lol jit7, I've not heard about a case officer yet, I'm just shocked that it will be my turn soon hopefully.......in fact, gonna ring my agent today see if there's any news!!!!

Thanks anyway x
