The 189 and I've already gotten my grant

Congrats Delta Tango!! Looks like quite a number of people got their visas recently. Hang in there everyone!

Hi! It's 189.

Hi all, wanted to share some positive news. My visa has been granted!!! Here's my journey to give u all an indication of how long u might have to wait. EOI: 1 Nov 2012 Application: 15 Nov 2012 Spouse Medicals referred: 24 Dec 2012 Visa grant: 3 April 2013 I simply sent my CO an email yesterday since its been over 3 months that medicals were referred and got a Grant as a response today. Pretty awesome and I can now start planning my future! Do not give up hope, I think if your medicals have been referred for 3 months and more, just email the CO. Seems to be a tactic to slow down the number of visa grants they give out each month. Good luck! Xoxo

Just to share, I contacted my CO yesterday and he replied saying my husband's meds was referred on 24/12/12 and MOC are currently working on those referred 22/11/12. So a few weeks more to go for me. Hope this helps.

Just contact your previous employers for a referral letter

As what everyone has said on here, if your case is relatively straight forward, do it yourself. The key is gathering the right documents, this is something your agent can't help so you will still have to do it yourself. When in doubt, you can always seek advice for specific documents your CO might be looking for. Also, this forum is the bomb to gain knowledge around the entire process

Hi all, my hubby's medicals got referred on 3Jan and he does not have any underlying medical conditions. How long does it typically take to finalize the medicals? My CO mentioned that the GH and MOC are currently swamped with a large number of referred cases so might take a while Anyone here got referred recently as well? What's your progress? Thanks a million and Happy New Year to all!

Hi all! Like to join the gang. I submitted the application on 15Nov and just for assigned a CO today asking for a number of docs which I had uploaded.. Sigh.. Also for overseas work experience, the CO was asking for tax evidence, contracts and payslips but I wouldn't have payslips or contracts for the last 10 years. Will that be ok? I will probably be able to provide these for the current job though.. Had previously provided reference letters. Anyone had the same request?

Mine was 60

Congrats!! Did u wait till CO assignment to get PCC and Health checks?

Hi there, the Singapore police requires a letter from DIAC to proof the reason for certificate of clearance. Any idea where I can get that letter? Also, it seems a lot of people get their visas very quickly, does that mean there is no need to wait for a CO to do medicals and police checks?

Hi all! I just lodged my application. Just wondering if I should book my medicals now or wait till I get assigned a CO? Also, to obtain police clearance, it's said on my local police website that I will need a letter from DIAC. Any idea how I can get that? Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!!

Hi Kubby, the skills assessment takes up to 12 weeks to process. They will not inform u when someone has started looking at your case and they will not contact you unless there are missing documents. I know the wait of not knowing where it is going is dreadful but if its been less than 12 weeks, I suggest just to wait.

This is absurd! It's pure cruelty to put the dog through the flights again. Lets hope that results are all clear today and your dog would not have to go through any more long journeys.
