Hi, I have only been in Australia for a couple of weeks now and wondering if there was anyone around my sort of area Couple in late 20's with 2 yound children of 2 and 4. If interested then drop me a message

Hi, Husband and I are scottish and you just apply for the standard ARCO one. There use to be a Scottish one but they are not accepting that anymore.

Hi everyone - we got our grant on Monday 9th Dec. So excited and relieved that we eventually got it. Well done to everyone that has recieved their grants and good luch to everyone still waiting.

Hi congrats on all the grants - We are dtil waiting. Cant check myself so waiting on agent getting back to us. Good luck everyone else still waiting

Hi Everyone, Congratulations Smitty you will be so so happy that there is no more waiting for you. Well we done our medicals 22nd November and went well. Recieved our PCC and have uploaded them as well as extra document from Hubby's work that they wanted. So now once again its the waiting game. But everything should be done now. Really want visa to be granted before Christmas. fingers crossed Shearer

Its all very exciting now - everyone getting CO's and starting to get the grants that they want. We have our medicals on Friday 22nd in Manchester then it'll be waiting for that to get uploaded and waiting on the grant letter.

Hi visa 189 and CO has now asked hubby for discharge papers or letter to say he would be allowed to leave the military. Have now got the letter to say that would be allowed as soon as he put in request to leave. Does this need to be certified?? To say that is an original document. Also waiting on PCC coming back - does this need to be certified at all? ? ? Thanks

Hoping my signature works. If not I'll sort it later when on the computer

Came home from work to find an email asking for our medicals, pcc's etc yeah. Finally. Booking them in the morning. Was starting to go crazy with the waiting. Last part of the journey then it'll be waiting on the grant.

Hi guys iv no news yet Send away pcc last week so waiting on that coming back. Called agent yesterday to see if they had any news yet but still on co. Agent advised not to do medical till co has requested this. We applied 12th Sept so really hoping to get some news this week that we have to book our medicals. Fingers crossed that we all get the news we want before Christmas.

I am so excited to hear this. I applied on 12th so will not be long till I hear something. It's gettin so close now Good luck everyone

I contacted my agent so that we could book for our medicals but theey refuse to give us the details and keeps advising not to do medicals till CO advises so. Its so frustrating as just want it done incase it is reffered for some reason. Dont want to wait an extra month ontop of everything. But i suppose the main goal is to get the visa grasnted (fingers crossed) Good luck everyone - not be too much longer

We lodged and paid for visa 12th Sept - so coming up 6 weeks now. We are hoping to get visa before Xmas so that we can go into the new year relaxed and ready for our new adventure. We are planning on moving over by April. Hubby going to go over first get settled in a job and set up home for our two little girls and me. Also that way I can make sure everything is sorted this end before going over. Going to call visa company this week so we can book our medicals for beginning of November. Hope to hear some good news soon from everyone.

So been hearing the ppl from august have been getting grants now - not be long before we get CO assigned. Anybody heard anything yet? Also our agent won't give up log in details for evisa - in regards to booking a medical do we need to do it thru evisa? Thanks

Iv actually seen someone that lodged their visa begining of Aug now got a grant. Reckon just another 2 weeks hopefully and then we'll start geting CO's. Hope everyone is doing well

Im in bonnie Scotland - Paid with royal bank of Scotland current account debit card and never had an issue at all. Hope you get it sorted

We paid with our debit card this month and it went through no problem. We had funds in account so was no issue regarding payment. It was a 189 visa that be applyed and paid for. Hope this helps

Hi, I was wondering roughly how much money you would need when you move to Oz. This meaning after visa paid for (just waiting on grant) and after flights etc. Just want basic info as hubby will have a job before he goes over. First month or 2 rent - basic bill cost etc. Any help and info would be great. Thanks

That's suppose to say more like ten weeks and not in any rush. Predictive text can be a pain ha ha

Think they say 6-8 weeks for co for 189 but it looks to be more tile ten weeks at the moment. Not I'm any rush tho. Congratulations Jamie its a big weight off your shoulders when skills assessment is successful

Jupiter that's great news, well done. Wenstu fingers crossed for you that you are not kept waiting much longer and that its a positive result. We lodged our application on 12th Sept so same as you Nikkiwd, waiting on case officer etc. We are going to do our medical next month as well as pcc but have frontloaded everything else like form 80s documents certificates etc. That way if they need anything else it should not be too stressful. It's just another waiting game now. Let's hope we all have good news before Christmas and can relax for a little bit.

In regards to pcc- do you have to put speeding fines etc. Hubby has points on his driving licence. Thanks Two weeks down prob about 8 to go. Fingers crossed we all get granted before Christmas and can relax.

Do you have to front load all documents certificates etc before co has been assigned? Or if there is something missing would they ask for it. Our agent is dealing with it but with our skills assessment they forgot to send our payslips off so would not want something like that to happen with the visa. Thanks

Hi guys, I received invitation to apply 2nd Sept and lodged and paid for visa 12th Sept. Not doing medicals and pcc till next month. Good luck everyone will be good to see where everyone is in visa stage. Quick background we got positive skills assessment in august for hubby being a metal machinist and lodged EOI with 70 points. So glad the skills assessment is over as iv was so stressful. We are from Scotland and hoping to move to either Perth or the east coast. Depends on job really. Looking forward to hearing all your stories

Hi We recieved invitation on 2nd Sept and lodged the visa on 14th Sept. How long before we hear anything back in regards to medicals etc? Will It show on the system any news at all? Thanks
