I am so sorry, it's difficult to recognize with some names.

Please see page 17 bottom post from Hemanth. She has included her delay e-mail. it is very helpful by the way

We are waiting, even if we are aware that grants are hold until July. At least we will know that somebody is working on our cases

"To all who are interested in knowing: I called up DIBP and asked if there was truth in the rumour going around that there will be no more grants till July 2015 because the quota for Skilled Migration visas has been filled up. He said clearly that it was true and that I had to be patient till the new financial year starts in July. He said they are still processing applications and that some people might receive a delay mail if the CO requires nothing else and for others the CO will ask for additional information. However, NO GRANTS will be issued until JULY 2015 forward. So let's all be patient and look forward to JULY. Its barely 30 days away. Countdown starts now!" This is comment left in spread sheet. We have to relax until July...

I have applied on 15th but I didn't get anything yet. Maybe next week.

Another CO was assign today...........

I think that it may be as per team location, Brisbane or Adelaide or specific CO. I have read somewhere that most of them are part time so it is likely the reason why dates are not in sequence. For example they have 5 CO's working in different days and each of them got some applications. Just guessing.... I am impatient as well, now even more than week ago...

WOW Someone from 14th of April got CO. It looks like things moved recently for April applications :jiggy:

It works :yes: Thank a lot!

Does anyone know why spread sheet cannot be updated even if I am logged in to my google account? I have noticed that more users have the same problem.

http://www.immi.gov.au/Work/Pages/SkillSelect/SkillSelect.aspx As per web occupation ID 2613 (I guess you are in this group) has ceiling value 5005 and this is reached. I think that this is regarding invitations so if you have received invitation you should be ok. I know that this can be frustrating, as this is big unknown.

"Feeling frustrated! After finally getting to speak to a CO today I thought I might get the 'golden email' following shortly but instead the CO, who was very nice and courteous, explained that the limits were close and she could not give an indication as to how long the process would now take. I received an email from her to this effect, too. The wait goes on!" - macca10 Above is quote from Feb thread, however in spreadsheet I have noticed that someone from 4th of April got CO allocated today. At the end it is not long waiting until July, we are still in 3 months time frame which is stated on immi's web. So stay positive :smile:

Guys, I know that some people wrote about problems however, in report we can see that few grants were issued for applications from end of March. We have to stay positive and be patient !

Hi Louise, I was sent on assignment to Perth so it wasn't my choice but now I really would like to move there. During those two years in Oz we travelled a lot, we have been in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and I still prefer to leave in Perth. I agree with some opinions that this is most remoted city and it is quite small however Perth develop very quickly therefore most of the city is modern and new. It is also very clean and have best beaches I have ever been! In my opinion better then Sydney or Cairns or Port Douglas and eaven Los Angeles. This is also best city for active families They have over 600km bike routes and you can get on bike everywhere. We didn't have car during our two years there we used bikes and when we needed to go further we just rented one. Oh Gosh I miss this city. So fingers crossed that bad news from March thread will not be as bad....

Hi Guys, I see how hard times you have - it is still ahead of me as I have applied on April. I must admit that decision to moving to Oz is huge one! We'll leave our families behind, we had to spend lots of money to make our dream true, we have stressful time during application process and I suppose that all of us have moments of doubts. However I believe it is worth and we have to stay optimistic ! Big hug for you @Pinkestlady :hug:

Hi Louise, Have you claimed additional 5 points for your husbands skills? If yes you need this assessment. I had similar situation but my agent told me that if I want to claim points for my husbands skills he must be assessed so I drop this idea as I still had enough points. I was living in Perth for two years and believe me it is worth to spend this money to live in amazing country with great outdoor live style :cool:

Hi, If you already have PCC and Medicals I would upload them as you may get direct grant. If you don't have medicals and would like to have longer time to move to AU then I would wait a month or so. Medicals are valid for 12 months.

So, we are slowly heading to nervous time :wacko: It will be one month on Friday since I lodged our application ...

Hopefully you will get your grant soon Fingers crossed !

I have also uploaded birth certificate, passport photo (jpg), form 80 & 1221 and CV. Just in case

Thank you for info about signature Pinkestlady & Ozmaniac :notworthy:

Our medicals should be loaded to the system today afternoon, uk time. I will be checking from tomorrow if they are there. Next, last step done, now it is purely waiting time for us. As I have seen it takes up to two months to get CO or direct grant.

Hi, I have quick one. How to add information about application progress on the bottom of posts? Thanks for reply

Hi All, I have lodged my 189 on the 15th of April. I have loaded all documents including forms 80 & 1221, just in case. Medicals should be loaded later this week I am excited and now it will be long waiting time but most of you already knows what am I feeling
