I understand you so well... Had the same thoughts before I got my visa. But once you get it, your thoughts will get much more hectic...

You better open a bank account before you arrive so you could pick up the card once you land.

You have nothing to worry about.. It's normal waiting time!!!

Hope it will be a short wait for you

4 days for me

Medicals results go directly to your case officer, so no need to worry about that

Just don't be rude your CO, and everything should be fine)))

Any visas for anyone today?

Moving to Oz at the end of February, but on a permanent basis

Thanks guys! It's a remarkable day indeed!

Got the golden letter this morning!!! YAY!! SOOOO HAPPY ))

Huh, first world problems!!!

Hope everything works out just fine for you

I guess you can use them for DIAC. If your Board of Nursing is OK with them, why shouldn't DIAC be? But you better look for the second opinion, as that is not my case, my transcripts from Russia are in colour, and verified by an officer from Australian Embassy in Moscow.

Hi, Depends on how long it takes for the police to prepare PCCs for you in your home country. For instance, it takes for ever in Russia, and I applied for it long before I got an invite. In fact, I had all docs prepared before submitting an EOI. You will most likely need your transcripts, it's in DIBP's documents checklist. Ask them to send you over the verified copies. Regards.

No luck for me either but a couple of guys who lodged after me got their grants today!

Hope you get your visas soon, Emma! Fingers crossed for ya!

The spreadsheet shows there were so many grants today. I lodged my application on August, 24th. My grant must come soon... Hope there will be no delays in the processing of my application...

I do have them, but I wouldn't love to share them, as they contain a lot of personal info. Hope you understand.

You have to fill in the follosing forms both for your wife and you: Form 80 - Personal particulars for assessmentincluding character assessment: https://www.border.gov.au/Forms/Documents/80.pdf Form 1221 - Additional personal particularsinformation: https://www.border.gov.au/Forms/Documents/1221.pdf Also, it would be better if you submitted your and your wife's CVs

I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed that you will get your grants soon ..

Depends on the assessing organization. My assessment (CPA Australia) took 4 days.

Have undergone the medicals on Friday. Last requirement fullfilled. Now it's only the waiting game left...

Grant on Saturday? Sounds strange...

No grants today? I can't see any updates in the spreadsheet...
