Thank you...all's well just something small [emoji4]

I'm heading to sydney! My boyfriend is already there so I can't wait to go! Best of luck with the op and I'll be keeping an eye on your posts and hoping you get a grant very soon x

Yes we applied the 8th, still not heard anything either [emoji30]

Congratulations again [emoji106][emoji12]

Once you get your grant you wonder why you let yourself stress so much! It won't be long for you now! When do u plan to head to oz?! I'm booking flights today for the end of September!

What occupation have you gone under? Would you mind telling me which country ur in as all the grants from the 6th have all been china and the philippines , I wondered if they were done in country order [emoji16]

Hey I applied from Ireland.... I'm a registered nurse (developmental disability) have you heard anything yet?! You lodged the 8th right?!

Hey guys,

just thought I'd share the great news that I received my grant this morning! I lodged on 6th of july and got a direct grant today! I didn't upload form 80. And I didn't claim points for experience! I am over the moon! Good luck to all waiting for grants :-)

Anyone with a CO assigned from July lodgers?

No no I haven't heard a thing yet. I lodged on 6th of July! Anyone else hear anything yet?!!!

Might be worth at least preparing the Form 80 in case they do ask for it. It takes a while to complete fully and is a pain in the a***!

I previously lived in Oz and also have military service and a travel history as long as my arm, and then some! I knew I'd be asked for it so I just filled it in and submitted it in the first instance, just in case!

Yeh I have most of it filled out it must have been an absolute nightmare of a form for you to fill out!!! Good that your busy to try keep your mind off o it......I'm a nurse and work 3 days a week so the 4 days I'm not in work I'm checking my emails like a maniac ? better take up a hobby or something ??

That's right.

I'd say to leave 6 weeks from lodgement at the very least before calling DIBP to ask about your status.

How are you coping with the wait?! You've lodged 2 months before me I'm hoping mine is pretty straightforward but I was in a working holiday in oz in 2010 and I havent uploaded form 80..... I really hope they don't ask for it. I didn't claim any points for experience either so I'm really hoping its a direct grant for me.

[emoji30] we lodged on the 8th

i lodged in the 6th!! I'm getting so impatient and I really think it's too early to be this impatient ?

Any news for anyone yet?

Nope none for me...... I saw on another forum that someone who lodged on the 6th july called DIBP and thy weren't even asked for their TRN number as it's too early!!! So I reckon a couple of weeks before they pick up the july lodgements

[WRAP][/WRAP]

I only got my CO on 22/07 and applied on 17/05. Hope that your grants or CO's come through soon.

i do hope you get some good news soon. I've seen you post in this forum and I've been keeping an eye on your status! You must be in the home stretch now?!

Anyone from July submission got a CO yet??????

I applied the 6th and nothing yet! Honestly the wait is killing me and I know June applicants are still waiting so I don't know when we will hear anything! I'm checking my emails in the middle of the night like a crazy person :-)

Hi all :-)

I lodged my 189 on the 6th july also....... Nearly immediately after invite :-)

Now the hardest wait begins.........

That's great, thanks for the advice! It all went through ok x

hi Lizzie344

im just wondering have you heard anything back from ANMAC yet?! I sent off my documents on 20/04/15 and I haven't heard a thing since! The wait is torture.

Hi @Mageea3 I got an email today saying my LOD for ANMAC was complete and in the post. ANMAC received my docs on 03/03/2015- so has taken just over 2 months, so hopefully your ANMAC won't take too long either.

Thats so so reassuring to hear, thank you! You must be delighted?!! Are you applying for you eoi now or do u need to wait for the hard copy of LOD?! Best of luck with the rest of your application :-)

Sorry to say it was 10 weeks 6 days after they received it, however I believe others have been around the 9/10 week mark recently. I would sit back and relax for a few months as this is the longest waiting period of the entire period. Spend this time uploading your documents to your computer and filling in any forms you need!

Oh oh that's good to know thank you. I already feel like I have been waiting so long as I sent everything to my agent in November last year but I only found out recently that this company were in fact fraudulent and have taken €4000 with no service at all so I started again this month(minus an agent) I really hope after Anmac it happens quick for me! Have you received that golden email yet?!

I did that was around the 4 week mark and I got LOD at 11 weeks 6 days.

Hi jac2011

i am just wondering about your Anmac application....... Did you get it 10 weeks after you posted the documents or after you received verification from them that that had received them?! I sent mine off on 20th April and I'm already becoming impatient! They did not receive my documents until the 1/05 so does that mean I'm not even a week in?!

Yep I paid with debit card 2 weeks ago and payment went through straight away!
