Here's to another week of constant email/Immi account checking....

That seems like a really longggg time!

Seems to be an issue with my PC. It works on my iPad. Thanks guys

Is anyone else having issues logging on to their immi account today? I know it was down over the weekend for maintenance but I still can't seem to log on. Another week of constantly checking email/immi account

I emailed our requested document and also uploaded them.

Just an update that we still haven't heard anything since our CO contacted us on the 3rd November...

Sorry....that was a bit tounge in cheek....I sold my businesses. It's all good

Exactly my concern too! I'm going to be unemployed from 31st Dec!

Seems to be the case. We were due to hear back this week...based on the auto reply to our original email...but nada! Grrr...this process is so frustrating. We started our paperwork at Xmas last year...feels like it's been going on forever.

We had the same thing happen but with our health checks. I emailed copies to the CO. That was a week ago and still waiting to hear back.

Hi Ceri. We had an email from a CO on the 3rd Nov. We replied on the 4th Nov and they say they'll be in touch within 7 days....so hopefully tomorrow??

The health checks we were asked for by our CO had already been uploaded. Weird. Waiting to hear back...

Fingers crossed. Let us know how you get on!

Weird. We had an email address on out letter which I emailed. It was GSM.allocated.

I just emailed our CO to say that we had had our health checks done and obviously the medical centre hadn't done their part. Maybe just email the address on your letter to say WTF...you have them

We've just a CO contact us.....YAYA~YA~YAYAYAAYAYAYYAAYAYAY Only issue is she's asked us to do health checks which were done on the 12th October so are going to have to chase the clinic tomorrrow....SO ANNOYING!!

Amazing news!! Congrats. Everyone else....keep us updated!! I have a good feeling about this week :laugh:

I just had a look on our Immi Account and it says 'submitted' for the status.When you then click through it says 'You have successfully submitted your My Health Declaration form to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection....' Hope that helps?? h

I hope you're right....

Great! My BF is applying as a secondary schoolteacher too! When did you apply for your 189? We submitted our visa 8th Oct and are hoping to get to aus before the new school year which starts 25th Jan.

Im extremely jet lagged and meant what skill basis but thanks MaggieMay...

What visa are you applying for?

hi Wooba. I didn't do the form 80 for both of us. Just my BF who is the primary applicant. Haven't done 1221 either. Sick of filling forms in!!

Hi Ceri, The Form 80 is a pretty intense form which details all your previous travel details for the last 10 years, employment from Birth, qualifications etc. It asks for details of countries travelled to and dates, places you studied and addresses...etc etc! I would start doing it because if your CO asks you for it and it isn't done, it might delay you. It took my BF and I agessssss to go back through his past, getting all the information together. Esp living in the UK, we travel to Europe a lot and not for a long time so there is not really any evidence of it. Facebook was our best friend trying to work out all those dates. I had to speak to my BF's parents and get info on schooling. The biggest struggle was the employment as it asks for employment from BIRTH!! WTF!! Having 2 degrees my BF has done a lot of part time jobs to get him through his studies so that's been the biggest headache. Your CO might not ask for it, but I would recommend doing it in case it takes a while to collate info. You can find the form here.... https://www.border.gov.au/Forms/Documents/80.pdf Good luck!

You can do your medicals whenever. As long as they're still valid for when you want to go to Aus. You do it through your immi account. It'll give you a HAP ID and then you can book your medical. Easy peasy.
