A perfect way to start the week: VISA GRANTED!!!! :yes:

:biglaugh: I truly understand you. As for me, I want to have a deep sleep, and only to be wake up after the answer have already been received... :biggrin:

I'm in line too. What is worst is that everything is "met" on my checklist since 06.07 :sad: and from then on no sign. I wonder if there is something wrong or it's only a question of luck. I've lost my hope to have the grant this week... maybe next one is the lucky one... :sad:

Nope. Maybe tomorrow will be the lucky day :sad:

Mine went from "finalized -> required" in "met" in 8 working days (only after I "woke" my CO with an e-mail).

It seems like there was no grant since last Friday... It's funny 'cause Friday everything has changed in met on my application... Does anyone know how long it usually take from this moment until the application is finalized?

Yeap, the same situation for me too. Only kids meds are met, me and my wife referred... Fingers cross for grant.. :goofy:

Did you get the SS from Queensland for Accountant General? Are you a member of CPA or ICA? I'm also on team 6 but I'm stuck on med since 14.06 (medical results received but no change on blood test). Now I'm waiting to get "met" for PCC and meds, hopefully soon.

Great news!!! I've got the SS. I'll apply for visa, and hope that everything will be ok.

I understand your opinion but in 2002 I have finished with success my last academic year and all the exams have already been passed. Unfortunately, due to some personal problems I was forced to delay with two years my final exam. I don't think that period could be considered as “learning the job” or any different interpretation other than work experience as long as at that moment all my university courses were already been finished. I understand that there are strict regulations but it's seems strange that someone with a bachelor degree in law for instance have the right to claim work experience before he/she get qualified as an accountant, although, I definitely were more "competent" to work as an accountant at that point.

Thanks. I'll try to find an immigration agent to speak with about this. I was thinking that someone have already passed through this It is very important to me to apply before 1 July. I've already applied for SS WA and actually they've asked me this question: "Please advise how you have calculated 8 years experience as we are only getting 7.33 years acording to your CV (experience calculated only after gaining your qualification in 2004)?" I was really surprised about their question because neither on booklet 6 or DIAC site I didn't find clear specifications about this issue. The problem in my case is that everything is linked and I depend both the SS and 8 years work experience. However, if by some miracle I'll get the sponsorship, I don't know if is there a point to continue.

Hi, I have a dilemma, and I really need an advice. The facts are: I've got my positive skills assessment (accountant general) before 1 July 2011 by ICAA; I finished the University's courses in 2002 but I took the final exam two years later in 2004; between 2002 and 2004 I worked as an accountant. I really need to claim 15 points for all 8 years, and that period is included too. But I've got really confused, because I understand that DIAC might not consider that period because is not post qualified work experience. I've searchedover the DIAC site, but I didn't find anything to clearly specify something about that. Moreover on ICAA site I didn't find specification about post qualification like those on CPA site. I'll appreciate any idea or advise about this issue. Thanks
