I find no trouble submitting both together.Why you worried to submit together.

As your spouse is not migrating member,they still need medical and PCC for her considering He/She may applied for spouse visa after you granted visa.It happen to my case as well.Its good in other term, you can use same PCC and medical for spouse visa application.Wish you quick grant.

Not in my case too...They will contact if they find some issue in docs u submitted regarding sponsor otherwise not.

Hi Najanj Dont know about july 2014....but after june2013 not many 886FS.But Its always seen they process lot application of FS in second half of the year as they have clear idea about the remaining quota which can be converted to FS.

Here you go. This is the link of that Chinese forum. http://bbs.tigtag.com/forum-235-1.html use google translate add ins to translate. It is really helpful.

Hi Guys Keep checking this chinese forum. http://bbs.tigtag.com/ Use google translate to translate in english and go to Immigration G5 Corner. Sure it will help.

Call DIBP and ask them when you can expect CO as people from Dec 2009 already got their visa...hope this may help.

It used to be 3 month now I have seen many people with more than 3 months

You mean Aug 2010 not Aug 2013?

Give any reason they wont stop you... 1. Visiting parents 2. Family reunion 3.Attending wedding 4. Alumni get togethere 5.visiting friends......many more....I went three time on BVB....seriously they wont stop you as it is your human right to go where ever u want.

I did both....as some time its easy for Co to find out abt docs.I emailed co summarizing all docs with date submitted and formal request to grant visa soon.

Yes thats only way even if you have agent or not.

If you have TRN Number and password to check you status online you can find out...when it will say "applicant approved" than you will get grant email in 24 hours.

There is no such a time frame for grant after submitting all docs.It may take hours to years....but most of the time avg time is couple of days.

Hi Binda There is no such time line when they will give decision....It may take few min to few month....What I suggest you...to drop an email to Co summarizing the Docs with date submitted and request to grant visa soon.....It worked for me and many other forum members. Just give it a go.:biggrin::biggrin:

Mate dont knw abt you but in my case it was happen.....lunch time status changed "Application being processed further"....got email from CO at 2 Pm

I guess You will contacted by Co soon.................................

Hi Sukh Was she in Australia with you when you have applied...or Back home.If she was offshore during application...and included as non migrating memebr....CO still ask for medical and PCC....but unfortunately will not grant visa...but same medical and PCC can be used for partner visa file which You hava to apply sperately after your visa grant.....I have same case but no baby.....if any question pm me.

If you assigned Co than co should provide HAP id with email that will also ask for your wife to go for Medical.In my case They had also asked my wife's medical and PCC even though she was as non migrating partner.

Indian Police Clearances PCC applications will be only accepted, if applicant had been lived, worked in India or travelled to India within last 5 years from the date of application. Anyone who has lived, worked in India or travelled to India before 5 years will not be able to apply for PCC. http://www.vfs-in-au.net/news.html

Just Shoot email to Co summarizing the list of requested documents submitted with the date...and request for grant.

Hi rjdiphort You can do medical anywhere in the world where department permitted hospital which is e health recognized.follow the link for more info. http://www.immi.gov.au/contacts/panel-doctors/i.htm

When you allocated Co..they should have Idea if you are on Bridging visa B.One of friend has to go back home to attain wedding and just day before she allocated co...she email Co explaining the situation that she cant send her passport for PCC as she flying home tomorrow ...Co suggested to do PCC and medical from india and confirm the return date when she suppose to come back. She got visa in time once she came back. Hope this help:cool::cool:
