I think the most important issue is to get all your documents to be certified true copy by JP. If police clearance of your home country is a long lead item, you should get started once you have lodge your application and pay your application fee. The police clearance would normally valid for at least 6 months depending on your home country. Be careful with form 80 when you are fulling them up. Read the question carefully and understand it before answering. Some of the questions looks similar to another but there were slight difference.

Thanks. I think the CO might have referred to my withdrawn file and noticed a lot of documentation have been cleared and that might had speed up the process. The story was I applied 176 in mid May but can't proceed further due to not obtaining form 1100. I had to withdraw it (don't ask me why. It was a bad experience and I don't want to think about it again). Immediately after that, I have re-applied 190.

Yes, me and my family are in Brisbane with 457. I called up this morning and the immigration officer said they didn't have record of my wife's entry and exit from AU which is strange. She has come in and out a few times. That was why a bridging VISA wasn't generated for her because the system didn't had record she is in AU. But they will investigate. Soon after the call, I received CO's letter indicating require wife's PCC. I had uploaded it in e-VISA but I have uploaded again and sent email with attachment. 3 hours later, I have received a VISA grant letter and notice. Wo-Hoo! Can't believe it but it is true.

I have received my acknowledgement with bridging visa A granted. But I still have my current 457 active, so this bridging visa will not in effect. However, the bridging visa A has my wife's name missing. Is this normal or just a glitch in immigration department's system?

Thanks, plutology. Since you have lodged earlier this month, you might have some experience in this. I have noticed that: i) The attachment required in my spouse's checklist has evidence of custody (may be because I have children along with us) but she is the natural mother of children. What should I attach in this case? ii) There is a form 1221 required in her checklist as well. Do I fill up that form and upload it? iii) There isn't a request of form 80 anywhere. How do I upload form 80 for myself and my spouse? Thank you.

Hi. I have lodged my application yesterday and uploaded most of the supporting documents. I wonder what's next? Simply wait for an case officer to be assigned? The status of the attachments from my checklist is still showing "Recommended". Anyone can enlighten me? Thanks.
