Got our visa today! Hooraaaaay! Thanks so much tania for looking after the thread and everybody else for their advice. Wishing u all the best with your visa grants !

Congratulations!!!:biggrin:

Just thought I would let you guys and girls know we have booked our medicals in Manchester, but not until 18th October as this was the only date we could both get off work together. :goofy:

My agent says a confirmation e-mail should be enough for the CO for now. :wubclub:

Hoping to have Police checks back this week or early next week.:policeman:

Well that's the medicals done, kids will be uploaded today and ours mid week once bloods come back. Now the wait.......:wacko:

I'm sure everything will be fine!!

Did you have to take a photo? Just as on the top of the app forms it says to attach a photo.

Hi Tania,

Can you please turn me pink!! I just found out we got our case officer on 14th Sep -my agent was away!! We're in team 2 and have 28 days to get everything back to them so I'd better get booking our medicals!!

Thanks,

OrchidD :laugh:

Congratulations, great news!!! :wubclub:

I was ok before I had a CO now I check emails, POI and online tracking (several times when working on nights)

gonna go over my data package on my phone this month i think.

 

I think I have OCD. can't wait tilll V day then my family can have me back.

:goofy::wacko::chatterbox:

Ha ha, I often wonder to myself what I will do if we ever do get to go to Aus!! Will just have to stress out over the move instead!!!! :goofy:

I sent my police checks off today. I can't get a day off work till October for our medicals so I'm hoping a booking receipt will be enough for the CO as we will be a few weeks over the 28 day deadline.

We have to travel to Manchester from Newcastle so it will be a long day - checked out Edinburgh but they are even more expensive there!!

hi tania turn me pink i have a case officer yea got such a fright its been 3 yrs and now we get word they looking for proof of address for 2007 till 2008 cant find any thing coz we only moved in to a flat knew we were not staying there so we both only changed our address in 2009 ish so annoying how strict r they???

oh pink pink turn me pink!!!!!!!

Congratulations, I am losing count of all the CO's, it's great!!!

Tania TURN ME PINK, Got a case officer Team 4, Our Daughter is 18 and they have asked proof that she is still dependent, which she well and truly is.........Has anyone else had to send this info, if yes, what did you send?? Iam semding copies of her bank statement and her offer of a course at uni.

Congratulations!! :biggrin:

Busy busy for everyone, Those that have recently gotten Co's or Visas, Did they contact your employers? I haven't told mine yet, and wasn't planning on doing for a while, but things are moving faster than expected this last few week

Don't think they have contacted my husbands employers yet, they just asked for payslips and p60's to prove you worked for who you say you did!

Well the payment has come out of my bank account today for my Police checks so fingers crossed they should land at my agents in a day or so. Fingers crossed. 1 less thing down :policeman:.

Medicals in a week so bye bye another £650 but I don't mind / it will be worth it once V day arrives. Toes crossed.:wacko:

i just got a panic on reading your post when you said the police checks will land on your agents mat. By this did you mean that you have put his address as the forwarding one? :unsure:

I hope you say yes or I am thinking I have done something wrong!! Mine will have to come here as my agent is in Aus.

We have a CO!!!!! Just checked online status and documents all changed to met! Only required docs are passport photo and work experience evidence. My agent is away so I dont know what they will need work experience wise! Im soo excited tho, one step closer!:laugh:

Congratulations!! What a great start to the week!!

I Have a CO on 6th Sept..Team4

 

Requested the further work experience from my previous employment...the company management have changed and my bosses not there now..Any advice how i can make this...CO specifically asking for this. i have placed some employment letters stating my duties during my application submission.

Congratulations Core, that's great news!!!

I have butterflies for us all. It is so exciting. Let's hope the DIAC keep this up and another 6 get a CO next week.

 

PS - Anyone moving or planning to move to Adelaide?

Hi

We are hoping to move to Adelaide, hopefully if we get granted the visa we will go next year for a look around and see where that takes us!!:biggrin:

Have you ever been before?

Tracy

OMG I received an email this morning from a job I saw on seek, as it was direct through the company I did not apply for the position but sent a letter of interest. This is the response I have received back this morning.:shocked:

 

 

Hello Anne,

thank you for you resume and email.

We were very impressed with your experience and would be more than happy to have you along for an interview once you have settled here in Australia.

We are on the Gold Coast in Queensland.

We have decided to go with an agency engineer until early next year, so will re open our full time position then. This may work in well with your situation.

 

 

Here is a more detailed look at the position.

So guys keep looking on seek and even though we don’t have the golden ticket yet there is no reason why we can’t send C.V’s out this letter has just blown me away I am gonna try and keep in touch with the company over the next few months and then if anything goes west with the visa process (i love U Diac) we might just be able to gain sponsorship. :jiggy::jiggy::hug::hug::notworthy:

That's really good news, you have done well to get to this stage!!

Tracy

OMG OMG OMG

I cant stop shaking we have a CO :jiggy::jiggy::jiggy:and I am at work but really shocked excited and all the rest I haven't been able to tell my husband as he is at work, we have been asigned team 4:biglaugh::wacko::biglaugh:

 

Tania

Wow Tania, I am so very pleased for you, you really deserve a bit of luck!!

Tracy

Thanks for that guys, that was the link i had saved.:wubclub:

Hello everyone, thanks for all your kind congrats.

I was just after a bit of advice.

Do i get my Police Checks done through ACRO? I have a link that i downloaded from this site a while ago but i just wanted to make sure. I could ask my agent but he is asleep as he is in Aus!!:SLEEP:

Thanks for any advice.

I phoned the tax office the other day and you have to talk to the company that you worked for I explained that the company no longer existed so they did look throught their records only to find that the company did not file tax for the period requested. I have had to go to company house to get proof that this company existed. God if i'd have known all this a few years ago I would have kept everything.

Dear me, sounds like a nightmare!!

I'm sure there will be some way to get them all of the info they want, it might just take a little while.

Tracy

Hi ya,

 

Do you have an agent? If so would they not have already provided this to the DIAC?

Hi

They also said they didn't get a few other bits and bobs that my agent is going to take care of but we never had to submit any payslips or bank statements when we applied for the visa.

Tracy

Hi guys

It's official we have a CO!! :jiggy:

They have asked for payslips and bank statements and tax details going back some years so will have to see if I even have these!!

They are again from Team 2.

Good luck for the rest of the week everyone!!!

I think it was a comment to me and I don't spread rumors :sad:, it was a statement that I made about a conversation that I had with an agent I spoke to last week about when I would expect to get a CO and the reply I got was that the agent had been speaking to DIAC and that they expect to cleared cat 4 by Christmas and start cat 5 so it is not a fact and I never said it was a fact its just information that I got of an agent that I am posting on this thread :biggrin:

If we had to stop :policeman: posting information that are agents and DIAC are telling us then what would be the point of this thread, I hope no one takes my comment the wrong way

Thanks Tania

I would just like to say the same Tania, you are doing a great job and I don't know where we would be without your hard work keeping this thread updated for us all!! Thank you :wubclub:

So does this mean you have a CO :jiggy: do I turn you pink.

Not just yet!! Don't want to tempt fate! :wubclub:

OMG I have just checked my online status and it says application being processed further as of yesterday and that they have sent an e-mail , which will have gone to my agent!! It's going to be a long night to speak to my agent tomorrow!!!

I have been granted 885 visa today. I received a grant letter from Adelaide team 8. There was not any request from CO.

My application was paper based.

My wife, children and I am so happy.

Thanks all. Wish good luck to you all.

Congratulations, that is excellent news!!:biggrin:

Have not read the last few posts as ive just got in but

:notworthy::jiggy::jiggy::jiggy::jiggy::jiggy:

WE HAVE A CASE OFFICER

Congratulations Anlopa

I am currently in the Lake District for a week but have found a pub with wifi so am just catching up with loads of messages!!

I hope you get your docs sorted and I'm sure your agent will have a copy, fingers crossed.

"Well I never thought this day would come, but 3 Years and 80 Days later the dinosaur has been reborn"

 

That was a really long wait hey? He ended up applying for SS and visa was granted yesterday. So there is hope for the dinosaurs of becoming extinct again soon :wink:

Well done to them!!!:v_SPIN:
