Application on Immi account states not allocated, is this normal? 

Yes, mine said not allocated for nearly 12 months before i got an email saying they were processing.   After that took a few weeks ( about a year in total).  This was back in March this year.  Hope this helps.

Ps. Tried ringing them initially after five months and was told perfectly normal, just wait ...

Plenty of great courses in Brisbane and Gold Coast. Actually one called Windaroo is in between the two and claims to have Australia's toughest par 4

Thanks but i need the easiest Par 4 not the toughest

This will be me in 6 months from now, a young 54 albeit in The Redlands and looking to dust off the golf clubs.

Excellent Will look forward to a game as soon as your in town

hi just moved to the gold coast i am based in broadbeach and i am looking for someone who would like a round of golf and a pint after, not played any courses here yet so open to offers

Just to revive an old thread .... Same problem for me ... just arrived on Gold Coast and left golf buddies behind

So would love to hear from anyone who would like a social game of golf and maybe a pint afterwards would be brilliant. I am a 'young 50' something living the good life hence available anytime for a game

Look forward to hearing from like minded golfers

Thank you Leesweeting, Yes hopefully tomorrow for you as i was one working day in front of you i believe.

And thank you Grabri. Hopefully yours is in the system too. My CO was recently changed to CF. Bless them

Just got Visa (309) ... there was email waiting for me, didnt even notice it arrive ....

Applied 24th Feb 2014 so thats 8 months 20 days ... and we are off on 14th December so great timing

Beers tonight for sure. Good Luck everyone waiting will be your turn soon

Have you done the 'gentle email to the CO' thing?

 

Who is your CO?

I did and was told to be prepared for nearer the full 9 months

8 months 15 days for me. Still waiting :-(

8 months 19 days ....

Grant Received!!!

 

What a relief! So happy, 8 months & 21 days after application!!

 

29 days until we are standing back on Australia Soil and I can hug my family... Cannot Wait!!

 

:ssign19:

Excellent news 8 months 11 days so far for us ....

Congrats @Coxy! Hit the 8 month mark a few days ago whilst on honeymoon :wink:.... returned to an email to notify me of a change in CO. Anyone else got CF? Our flight leaves in 6 days....

BRILLIANT!!! Congratulations! Seeing people get grants on here really makes the wait easier. Just over 6 weeks to my 8 month point.....

-3 days for me

Ps. Yes big congrats Coxy

Hi

I applied last Wednesday for the PMV, now begins the long wait :hug: I have read that they usually take the money straight away but as yet no sign on my CCard, Fiancé is already stressing.

Patience ... its a long wait ... the clock starts ticking when they receive the Visa application and they dont take the money immediately Good Luck

Thank you for your replies guys. I called my CO and he said the wait is 9 months and that he will contact me if he needs to. An hour later i received the GRANT letter via email!!!! We are over the moon! Still cannot believe it!!

Excellent pleased for you. But is that just 6 months one week?

Excellent. Pleased for you

I think both of your posts 'pumpkin' and 'BestyBlue' are very informative and i am sorry if 'Victoria67' does not take on board the information you are trying to impart to her. Wise words for free. I am sure many readers will be grateful for these.

I wanna hear people having their visa granted!! It has been soooo quiet on here recently! I'm at the 8 month 3 week mark today!!! Grrrrr C'mon!

Look on the bright side any new applications have to wait 10-14 months ... but fingers crossed for you all

My PMV was granted 28 July 2014- I had to go offshore so had 4 days in Auckland.

 

Now I'm looking for a job :-)

Congratulations Believe you applied 29th Oct 2013 so thats 9 months all but one day. All the best with the job hunting

I can tell you who not to use if you PM me! (can't say on open forum! Suffice to say, 16 weeks and counting, and Australia, the 'country they ship the most to' still hasn't seen our stuff! try explaining THAT to a 3 year old when they ask where their toys are! It was one of the more popular ones mentioned on here before too!

Why cant you name and shame? Facts are facts and the bad guys (or ones we need to be wary off) need to be avoided. Surely they have only themselves to blame?
