Dear Experts / Friends, Good day. We have a situation and kindly seeking some advise 1. We've applied for Citizenship application ~8 months back. As per the current processing times, looks like it will take ~23 months 2. We're a family of 3 and our PR (189) expired (I mean the expiry date) few months back and hence need to apply for RRV as we have a need to travel out of Australia for a very brief time (Personal and not business related). Question Is the travel fine? (~2 months). Hope the travel doesn't affect the citizenship application Thanks!

Dear Friends, We were considering on moving near Mount/ Glen Waverley - don't know anyone in the suburbs yet and hence reaching out here. Pls provide any feedback - have heard feedback that these suburbs are good for Primary schools (especially Public/ Govt). The websites found on google seem to be outdated. Thanks

Regards

Dear Experts, I will always be thankful to this forum for the generous and friendly advise. Need some inputs/ guidance on 1. How to apply for parents Visa - My father recently expired and hence want to get my mother.2. What kind of Visa should I apply for? 3. Documents checklist guidanceI am a Permanent resident Visa holderKind regards

Thanks Guys for this ! Much appreciated

Dear Experts, Posting this on behalf of my friend, kindly let me know: **************** I was the primary when we applied for the PR visa .My IMMI Grant notification says that "Must Make First Entry to Australia Before XX April 20XX". The same date is reflected for the Secondary Applicant as well. We are planning to travel in the next 2 weeks. Please confirm if the secondary applicant can travel first to Australia before the primary and then the primary travels a few days after that. I would be traveling with a 2 years old baby and my husband would like to travel first and arrange for the accommodation before we land. ****************

Any responses please?

Dear Moderators, Reaching out to you guys again at an important juncture: I've got an invite for 189 SI and have made the VISA fee payment - the site now shows up links for uploading ALL the relevant documents (Passport, Skill assessment, IELTS etc.) I need to defer uploading my wife's documents since she's in her 8th month of pregnancy - so she has to go for her Medicals 5-6 weeks from now after the baby is born In this regard, 1 question to the Experts: Should I indicate change of circumstance (Form 1022) to the Immigration/ CO after the baby is born or now itself - mentioning that there will be a delay in uploading the documents related to my partner Thanks a lot Kind regards, Pat

Thanks a ton! Most appreciated. Whenever I've needed any help - this site & the moderators/ experts are most helpful. Thank you

Dear lebourvellec, Quick question: I'm in the final page (Payment screen) and the payment obviously shows VISA fees for 1. Primary (myself) 2. Spouse (dependent) Since I cannot add the child details now, presume I can pay the Child's VISA fees once the CO is allotted. Hope this situation is fine? Thank you

Dear Experts, Posting this thread on my friends behalf. The Grant letter he received a few months back says that “Must Make First Entry to Australia Before 18 April 2014” . Question: 1) Please confirm if there is any other restrictions on this date (ie PCC or medical dates should be done again before entering if it is 6 months old ) 2) Also do I need to do anything else now other than booking my tickets

Thanks a ton for the quick response! Kind regards

Dear Experts, Just received an invite for 189. Had 1 query & hope the experts would show some light: 1. My wife became pregnant recently (after I lodged my EOI & before I got my invite) - hence asking if I should put dependent details now while lodging the VISA application? (obviously cannot add the child details since it's unborn) Section in the VISA application: Migrating family members Are there any migrating family members included in this application? 2. Dilemma I have is should I say "YES" or "NO" in the application. Can I say "NO" & get my wife & child after I land in Australia? Note: I'm also going through the site http://www.immi.gov.au/skills/skillselect/index/including-family-members and presume I should fill in Form 1022 to indicate change of circumstances. Appreciate any help on this! Kind regards, Pat

Dear Experts, Any inputs please? Thanks much

Dear Experts, Greetings. I just got ACS confirmation *Thanks to the ACS authority*. I have my IELTS exam 2 weeks from now. 1. Is it OK to apply for EOI (Expression of Interest) for 189 before writing IELTS as I already have the mandated 60 points? 2. Can I update my IELTS score later to them once I get my IELTS score? Any pointers is most appreciated. Kind regards, Pat

Dear arrumac & mattybe, Thanks for your reply. Clearly understood.

Dear Experts/ Moderators, Any response? Meanwhile, I've written to ACS asking the same. I will post their reply as soon as I see their response

Dear Experts, I am in process of applying to the ACS (Australian Computer Society) for the purpose of immigration to Australia. In this regard, I've prepared all the documents in PDF format. I had a clarification under which "Skills Application Type" I should be applying whether it's - Skills (Point #3) (or) - RPL (Point #5)? Below are further details about myself and I'm hoping you'd be able to help me: 1. I have 11+ Years of Information Technology work experience 2. My skills closely is relevant to "Skilled Occupation List (SOL)" -- Programmer Analyst (Code 261311) Your guidance in this regard will be most appreciated Kind regards.

Dear Sir/ Madam, thanks for the kind response. The link explains everything.

Dear Experts, Is it mandatory for dependant (Spouse) to write IELTS? (If so, is there a minimum score that's mandated?) Thank you! Kind regards

Dear lebourvellec &wrussell, Thank you for the kind responses!

Dear Experts, Can someone kindly throw some light on the above? Thank you

Hello Experts, I am working as a Senior Performance Test specialist (10+ years of exp) having some development, extensive scripting, tuning experience. Planning to migrate to Australia - please suggest under which ANZSCO code I should apply to the ACS. I thought "261311 Analyst Progammer" is relevant but I also saw "261314 Software Tester". Any guidance is most appreciated. Thanks!
