Hi cameronsdad, mine said the same but I am definitely only getting the 309!
-
If your application was updated after your medicals that means the results have been submitted, my immi account doesn't show any Health Detail link anymore either so wouldnt worry too much.
-
I went to Bridgewater and they were excellent
-
What clinic did you go to Pookie?
-
Hope you hear something soon! Anyone applied earlier than July 28th and still waiting?
-
Anyone been granted a visa lately? It's gone very quiet..
-
Anyone know if id be able to use the form 1445 for the above situation? Thanks

Thanks, I think I would move out earlier if it meant getting this job - but my predicament about the 6 months on WHV expiring before my partner visa is granted is worrying me. I found this: http://www.immi.gov.au/forms/Documents/1445.pdf 'Request permission to work with an employerbeyond 6 months on a Working Holiday orWork and Holiday visa' form and it states: Extending the work condition on a Working Holiday orWork and Holiday visaThe Department of Immigration and Border Protection (thedepartment) may give Working Holiday and Work and Holidayvisa holder’s permission to work for an employer beyond6 months where exceptional circumstances exist. Wherepermission is granted, it will generally be for a short period oftime (several days or weeks, not months).Exceptional circumstances must relate to an Australianpermanent resident, citizen or business and must beextraordinary and unforeseeable.Exceptional circumstances might include remaining in yourcurrent job for one of the following reasons: • for a very short time (days or weeks) as you are critical to thecompletion of a specialised project that has unexpectedlygone over time (this generally only relates to highly skilledactivities, such as a lawyer in the middle of a trial or a doctorwho plans to operate on a patient they have been treating); • performing disaster recovery work following a major disastersuch as clean-up, re-building or emergency managementactivities following a major flood; • remaining in your current job while a decision is being madeon an application for a visa which would allow you to continuefull-time work with your employer without leaving Australia,such as an application for a Temporary Business (Long Stay)visa or a Spouse visa.Note: For the department to take this information intoconsideration when assessing your employment extensionrequest, you must have lodged your visa application andmust be recorded in the department’s systems. Exceptional circumstances do not include remaining in yourcurrent job because you: • have the required skills or because of labour shortages; • are required to complete a project in a job that is not highlyskilled eg. retail or administration; • have applied or intend to apply for a visa which requires youto leave Australia at the time of grant eg. Skilled visa subclasses175, 176 and 475; • are not able to apply for another kind of visa. The first bold part kind of implies as I have a lodged spouse visa application I may be eligible but then the last bold part kind of doesn't as it was an offshore application.

Having just returned from Tasmania, I do have a little predicament now. I applied for a job at a school whilst here and they seem keen and have arrange a Skype interview for next week. They know the situation with my visa and how I will be entering on a WHV in preparation for my partner visa 309 being granted at the end of the year. However, they want the applicant to start 11th May (earlier than my intended date to return to oz which was early July) So my problem is I would need the partner visa to be granted before 11th Nov to satisfy the WHV condition of only working for an employer for 6 months - which is 10.5 months after I applied. Given that they are still working to 9 months, I'd say it may be possible but maybe not. I know No one can know for definate but anyone any thoughts? I enjoyed Tas but I will be moving to a small town of 650 people - good jobs in my area of work don't come up often.

Only stat decs need to be witnessed and certified, evidence such as passports etc do not need to be, if you upload a colour scan online
-
I only had 1 stat Dec and none from aus citizens.. but last time I posted that I got shot down in flames! I think most people have 3 or 4 My friend just walked into a local solicitors without an appointment and they witnessed the stat dec for a fiver
-
I applied in December 14 and was told to expect the grant in December 15
-
How long does a CO take to reply to an email sent from the form on the immi site? Or should I just reply to the email I've received from them in the past? When I last was in touch with them, it was via phone.
-
Hoping to move over in June on a WHV and go offshore when the 309 is granted..what about you? Our timelines look quite similar
-
Just a holiday, my partner is in Tasmania so I will be meeting all his family for the first time over Easter!
-
Just booked a trip for over Easter, my first time visiting Australia! Lets see what I have let myself in for!
-
Haha small world, my bf had an interview there before Christmas but didn't get the job!! He's gone back to Oz now, been 5 weeks since he went...are you the australian in the relationship or your bf?
-
Hi elzawelza only just seen this sorry, I'm in Chesterfield so not too far from you! Good luck getting your grant soon!
-
Thanks leftandstumpy, I am entering on WHV (if that makes a difference) in June, I think I'd be best off either; having them all done and dusted BEFORE I move out there, or not doing anything at all about it until I get there and get it all done from Oz! I think I'm just overthinking it, but the FBI checks take 4 months to be processed.
-
Mine is OH, seemed a nice chap on the phone!
-
Hi Wan2go, good idea, I have added mine. Although I am applying for 309, our timelines looks quite similar
-
I uploaded the additional info requested (a birth certificate) to my immi account about 10 days ago and not heard anything since, should I of or do I just assume now they have everything so won't hear anything? I was asked to provide medicals/police checks in June..but as I am planning on going to Aus in June on WHV and waiting there, should I just get them done sooner so they are sorted before I go? If I'm waiting in Australia, the entry validity dates won't really matter as much cos I'll already be on that side of the world, ready to hop to NZ for it to be granted...right?! Also forgot to say, one of my police checks needed is a US FBI check, which have a really long processing time (and high percentage of rejected applications!) so would like to just get it done!!
-
Why would you need permission to travel if you are an Australian citizen? If you are talking about your wife she (not you) can apply for her partner visa once arrived in aus
-
Yes, my CO def said the processing time is 10-14 months, and by applying in Dec 14 I can expect the visa in Dec 15! I am also bound for Tassie, my partner works in Strahan!

Strange, the person today was definitely in England, he left me a message and the number I called him back on was a London number!
