Ok so WE GOT OUR GRANT !!! Yeah baby!!!! Can I please say to everyone who is still waiting from the early sept lodgers, please re send info that you sent because a lot of things got lost during system maintenance. Our email never got to our CO hence the weeks and weeks we waited. Thanks to a very lovely private message with great info we are now sorted! I guess we have to start a new thread -- MAKING THE MOVE, WHERE TO START!
-
Why move then....?
Because at least it's hot and sunny.... A LOT OF THE TIME YAY!
-
So stupid agent finally resent email to CO explaining that stupid agent has uploaded PCC in the wrong place. It only took stupid agent 3 weeks!!! And stupid agent probly wouldn't have done anything if I wasn't on the case!!
keeps telling me the timeline is 3 months..... We'll no one is getting their grants at 3 months so check what's wrong!!!!!?!!!! Arghhhh...
-
Ok so please bare with me on this one..... When checking the immi account yet again I noticed that under my husbands bit where it says Character Reference it still says "requested" instead of received as with everything else. My husbands PCC is uploaded , but under my bit. So I straight got onto my agent and she reckons that there was no space left on my husbands bit so she uploaded it to my bit.
I'm thinking that the CO is not responding or doing anything because she probably thinks that we still have to supply one PCC !!!! I mean why would the CO search the whole account for the PCC , when there is A PLACE to uploaded!!?!! Am I right ???
-
I wouldn't worry too much.........the grant will come. I can't imagine why they would ask for PCC unless everything else was Ok.
I even had a clock set on Adelaide time for a while (removed to help maintain sanity :eek:)
Can I just ask what CO team you were?
-
PWA200 the clock thing is funny--- it does get really insane! I mean I don't even wanna say how often I check immi account, even knowing it's like 3am over there and there won't be anyone working!!!! Lol
-
I have also noticed how this thread has got really quiet..,,, I think we are the only early September lodgers that haven't been granted yet....,
-
Still nothing here , I really don't know what's going on with our case officer! Congratulations PWA200!!! Great news!! We lodged on 6th September so even earlier...... Now have the wait the WHOLE weekend... It's gonna be a long one
-
So I found out , that we are team Adelaide 7 ??? Anyone?? Are they slow or what? Lol
-
We'll I don't know what case officer we have, but I know that the CO is SLOW! Our CO requested PCC on the 10th. We uploaded on the 17th and have been waiting since !!! Most ppl who have front uploaded everything get a straight grant once CO allocation.... So I really don't know what's going on.

Hi Whites
We were looking in the southern suburbs and Gold Coast region?! Which is huge I know. But we haven't pinned down jobs yet so that will certainly influence our decision. I'm using an agent so Im not sure if I habe CO, I have asked them to let me know when we are allocated one. We only had out medicals yesterday and mine is going to be referred anyway, so think we are in for a long wait.
Nice down there too! If you haven't uploaded everything yet, your agent should get in contact with you as soon as you have CO as they will request all remaining forms! My agent contacted me same day about CO allocation as they requested our PCC's , that was the last we needed to upload! Now we've been waiting for over a week with no news and no grant! Killing me!!!

Hi , need some help! So we are trying to get parents out. But I'm confused about the payments of the visa. The second instalment for CPV would be like $43.600 per person! So this second instalment , is that just a huge lump sum you pay the government ?? Or does it go towards you living over there??? How does it work?? Any help would be appreciated!!
-
Hi, yes an agent would be a great path as they do everything for you and know everything there is to know. But they charge of course! We r using an agent. But before we got the agent I had everything ready to go, researched everything. You will not get around having a skills assessment. Everyone has to have one. It's a way for them to see that you can actually do what you say you can and that you meet Australian work standards in your occupation! So I would book your skills assessment. Hope this helps

Hi Becky
Congratulations on CO
I had to get some more as our house was broken into and they took the safe. So I googled copy's of birth certificate and went into the gov.co.uk website. You can order as many as you need, think they were around £9 each. Plus they are full certificates with parent names etc.... A very straight forward process and think you can opt to get them on next day delivery.
Hope this helps )
Hi, just noticed you're looking to go Brisbane too. You know where yet? We'll be going to the Sunshine Coast , around alexandra headland- buderim area. I see you submitted you visa on the 30th, have you got a case officer yet?
-
Oh i mean is your CO from Adelaide too?
Yeah, I totally understand that frustration, its like I jump for joy every time i receive an email thinking its from DIBP only to get disappointed all over again...
Oh sorry, I have no idea??? I didn't know people know where their CO is from??? How do you know ?? We have an agent maybe that's why I don't know ... The agent kinda deals with everything.

...but you were getting equally nasty about the UK ! (when the issue could lie with the unhappy person)
I was pointing out issues with the UK, as they want to come back to the uk, when all the issues about Australia is the same here if not worse! Thus is pointless .... All you lot wanna go back home , see ya. Hope you don't regret it haha
-
possibly like a lot of us they left because they could/had the balls/wanted to know what was out there.
UK is still a great place to live, trust me.
No one in there right mind would leave the UK if they thought it was perfect for them here. Certainly not if it's gonna cost a few grand! Europe maybe, ain't gonna cost much no harm done... But paying all that money to move to Australia one would only do for a reason! However I'm not saying the UK is bad, but when one slags off Australia with points that are just as bad here if not worse, then you just have to remind people that there was a reason they left in the first place..... To me I would never judge about their choices , uk is not for me I need hot hot weather otherwise I don't survive well!! But that's just me! It's just a bit much getting nasty about Australia and it's people , when the issue lies with the unhappy person...
-
And when I log into account it says last update 10 nov, that's when CO requested PCC , it's still at that! I mean don't the COZ even look at anything for 2 weeks???!!
-
I have the same co contact date and pcc submission date as you. Nothing at all! Are you by chance team Adelaide too?
We're going Brisbane ... It's so frustrating , it's like what's taking you do long co!!
-
...and now your trying Australia. You might not find what your looking for here either.
Ok so you might not wanna drop your opinions if you don't know people's story !!! Germany because I am german born there! NOT TRIED! America because I am american went to school there for a little while! NOT TRIED!! India because I moved there when I was a minor with my mother!!! Not tried!!! Love India actually, but work out there makes it impossible to live there full time!!!! Spain because we had money to spend and we travelled all over!!! Not tried!!! England (9 years) because my husband is English and hated it here all nine years! So basically tried England , don't like it neither does my husband so now Australia! Anyway I don't have to justify myself, I'm not the one saying uk is crap , move and then decide that the UK is actually not crap...
-
Question to the happy poster called the Whites.. Have you ever been to Australia before....?
Actually not , no!! Can't wait tho! And yes you might say I don't know what you lot are on about.... But it ain't better here, the whole reason why people leave here! Or you telling me people pay thousands to leave the uk because they just love it here so much? Or is it because they are silly and think Australia is perfect? No crime anywhere!! No taxes to pay???!!! No car accidents coz everyone is an amazing driver??!!! Free everything so you don't have to work???!! I mean maybe people are just not realistic ....
-
Yeh ...OMG ! ur gonna get a shock when you come over here cos a lot of what the OP says is actually true. Just be happy where you are.
I'm not saying it ain't true, what I'm saying is , that all that is here too if not worse and bad weather!!!! Come one there is a reason why he/she left the uk in the first place....
-
Out of interest, where else in the world have you lived?
Funny you ask, lots of places actually! Germany, America , Spain only 6 months though, India and England .....
-
Still nothing here, I'm getting really frustrated! I just don't know what that case officer is doing . We supplied the PCC ( last documents to supply) over a week ago now, and nothing! Hurry up CASE OFFICER!!! Do your thing!! Lol

And I'm wondering wether I should contact them before we fly about baggage allowance?
