Dear Mates, Once you have paid VAC 2 and go the visa. Once you are in Australia your wife can go to any AMEP center which are usually present in every part of city with your wife passport and tell them that your wife want start AMEP classes and thats all the AMEP have all the information about your wife visa. Thats all. It is not necessary to go immediately after landing take your time and visit once everything is settled down. My wife visited them after 4 months of landing and started after further 2 months. good luck

Hi, During my immigration visa process. I have paid VAC2 payment in lieu of my OH IELTS. Now I am in Australia and wondering is there any benefit of paying 4250$ and is my OH can go for learning English or what?? A bit confused. Guidance required from seniors

thanks for correcting me Sis can u plz also see the thread "hr applicants where r u" and update your time line in the sheet for Candidates from HR countries. This sheet is being maintained by fellow member SM Shoaib. Regards and good luck.

Congratulations bro

Dear Zubair, I have no idea about it..

No luck till now. Bro

Dear friend finding accomodation here is a real big task espacially whrn u r coming woth your family. Please see my comments on the thread " HR applicants where are you". Better to come alone and secure an accomodation here first than bring your family. FYI i have paid 9500$ to secure home (4 months advance rent and security). Getting anything before u land here is almost immpossible u vl be forced to take hotels which are v v v very expensive. Please feel free to contact.

Sorry for the delayed reply Zubair, But there is not standard duration after medicals. If your medicals are finalized you will get grants in a day or two..

Dear Gul, Sorry for the delayed reply... You will get your grant as soon as your medicals are finalized... Just get the update on your medicals from your CO.. Good luck

I am just surfing net for jobs and collecting the data for available jobs and increasing my network of linkedin professionals in Australia. I am technically not applying now because as a HR Manager I know that employer never bother to look at the CVs of the ppl who are outside the country. I will do the same and will go there and search... Wish you good luck may be we can meet there and go togeather for the job search.

Actually for me I asked the question about my medicals from my CO and she told me clearly that all medical went OK and cleared but on the website the status never updated and was still required even my visa was issued. If the medical links are disappeared I hope they are not been referred but to be sure just wait for CO to be allocated as he can tell it defiantely.. Good luck buddy and see you in Perth

Dear Mushahid, Thank you very much for your answer. It will help me a lot. You are a star. Wish you good luck

You have to provide the IELTS results for your spouse along with the other documents request by your CO but if your spouse is not going to sit for IELTS than you have to inform your CO that you like to pay VAC-2 payment ( 3 years English language classess) for your spouse in place of IELTS. This VAC-2 payment is paid usually at the end of processing all documentation including Meds and PCC and when you are almost ready to get a grant. Your CO will send after all formalities are fullfilled; the Invoice for VAC-2 payment and once you have made payment within a few days time you will get grant.

Dear Jojox, Skill assessment and IELTS are a must for submission of EOI and State sponsorship.. you have to do these before you do anything else as in EOI the marks for these two will be considered and further more you will not be able to complete the EOI application without these two and ofcourse other requirments to claim points for EOI.

Dear Bala, Thanks for the mail. I am heading to Perth (WA) and planning to move there in end of May or Starting of June 2013.. Whats your plan....

Sometimes it takes a few days as the State office has to update your case in the system... Better to send them an email or call them and hopefully they will update it on the same day and you will get the invitation to apply on the same day... Good luck

Congratulations DPR for the grant...:hug:

Dear Pra, If you are the main applicant than she just need to have 4.5 band in each for ielts and her IELTS band will not contribute any points towards your application. Wish you good luck for your IELTS and just concentrate for minimum one week on IELTS exams prepration and you will get +7 in each band.
