Yup, they can hold your application on your request and then you can add the new born child in your application as well. BTW, it is not possible to skip X-ray.

I selected Bachelors as highest recognised qualification and showed all other qualifications like Master, HSSC etc, not assessed by Assessing Authority, as Others and it worked.

Colour scanned copies..

Tasneem, Congrats. Thats really a good news.. Best of luck

But I have been replied 5 to 6 times within 4 working days, even after the change of CO by the new CO...

I also received the VISA next working day after I asked for status update....

My best wishes are with you three. Get ready, u may receive grant anytime very soon...

Congrats... CO will ask whether you want to hold your application to include newly born baby or process it as usual cox at this stage, especially in the first 3 months, doctors do not advise chest x-ray of pregnants...

This big occasion of Eid topped up with VISA grant... wow

The quota for Accountants is 9720 and 1933 invitations have been issued to date.

No, it isn't. They process applications on FIFO basis and the current processing time is less then a month. Join the below excel sheet and you will have very good idea where your application stands. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArviwOkQc_pFdFoxeU94QXVKTkFOSV9SM05CdXFxU3c#gid=0

Traces of protein are usual if within limits. You may start your treatment in consultation with your doctor so that you are healthy enough when you are required to undergo detailed examination of the symptoms, which is expected.

And I guess my CO is not available cox the recent email was from a different CO..

Yes, I am also suffering from e-medical bug. My Medicals have been RE-REFERRED to MOC.

I dont think so. After application submission, the criteria is the same for all applicants irrespective of their points. The difference comes b/w high risk and low risk countries when it comes to medicals and character checks and I assume Adelaide teams receive applications only from HR countries.

60 points and External Auditor

This happened to me as well. I was able to cover 11 out of 12 except accounting theory before i changed my occupation to external auditor from accountant. CPA will not charge you for change in occupation and the assessment will be free of cost.

No, but I have read on their website that students of professional accounting body not having completed professional qualification should only apply when they have a degree equivalent to Au Bachelors.. So its a clear cut message that they will consider the papers passed and degree will fulfill the degree requirement. Secondly, when one receive negative assessment, he or she is advised to appear inthe required individual subjects only to fulfill the requirement for that subject.

CPA will take into account all the papers of CGA that have been cleared (done individually) but partial CGA cant be equivalent to bachelors. For you, as you said, the degree requirements will be fulfilled by your bachelors degree. So, its green signal for you all the way if the partial CGA and Bachelors in combination is fulfilling 9 out 12 subjects including 4 core areas.

I am very lucky in terms of communication with the CO. I have been replied every time I have put an email to them and the most recent reply was from a different CO from the same team.

Well its better to pay them for a good courier service and get your assessment. In my case it was CPA Australia, they send me the letter twice without any additional charge which I did not receive and the 3rd time they couriered it via DHL which I received on the 4th day without any additional cost. You will be surprised that it was not the original assessment rather a change in occupation without any further cost as I did my initial assessment from CPA and I was sent with a scanned copy as well which allowed me to apply within a day for SS. All this cost me the cost of 1 assessment i,.e, AUD 475.

For 15 points, CPA count membership of professional body as equivalent to their bachelors.

I guess they need to activate their VISAs in June 2014 at max, probably 11 June 2014.

Medicals referred: 23 Aug 13 Assessed and requested X-ray: 19 Sep 13 X-ray uploaded & referred again: 23 Sep 13 So I have been referred twice to MOC.

Mines was also IOM.. The interesting thing is that my medicals are showing cleared even before the request for x-ray was made and it is still showing cleared where as my CO confirmed that my X-ray is available online and referred to MOC.
