Congrats guys!! Happy for those who got the GRANT,

Good luck to all those who are waiting to hear on the GRANT. Hope you all get the news very soon. Stay positive .

thank you. Have you moved to AUS ?

Hey Guys,

Can anyone tell me as to how long should one stay to retain the PR and what are the rules for citizenship?

Do all the family members have to enter Australia at the same time or can we go at different times before the initial entry date? In my case entry date is August 2016.

Also once we are enter is there a mandate that we have to be there for XX months to make sure we get any ID proof etc from the Australian authorities?

Definitely Umar. Keep the faith on. Allah will give you peace of mind .

Applied on Aug 10, first CO contact on Oct 24, again on Nov 20, grant today

Thank you. Been a long wait but its done. Patience the only thing from our side.

Guys finally... Got my GRANT today. Major relief.

Wishing all in here a very happy 2016 . Let us keep the HOPE alive to hear some positive news soon.

Been quiet as expected. LONG WAIT CONTINUES into 2016

They get back only on 30th. Work on 30 and 31. Off again on 1st.

This is a very common thing. It's also an indicator to you that things are still being worked on and you haven't been forgotten about!

True that Captain. Thank you for the reassurance. As you said they are still working on it so there is some light that i hope to see. I know this is vacation time, so no point in getting frustrated now. Enjoy the vacation and hope to come back to some godo news in 2016.

It was asked when i paid the fees when we upload all documents. Not sure what that confirmation was for.

The VISA officer from the local country embassy did reach out to my current company to check if i am working there. my designation, salary. DOB etc. Does this generally happen and is this a positive step?

My HR replied to them and they were satisfied. Fingers crossed.

with the vacations coming up, i see a long wait and hoping 2016 turns out to be good.

Congrats SMithy! great news. Have a good christmas in UK.

I continue to wait

Hope the same with you as well.

Thats a lot of AUD....LOL

I just hope they say OK to my wife's papers,. They asked me fir support and i have given what they asked for.

Hope you are close. I was asked to provide evidence and indid. Waiting to hear from them

Did you provide evidence and they dint say ok or u dint give it. Also what's the amount of extra free??

oh is this from skill select? not sure, Captain can may be throw some light

Umar, shows that your application is being reviewed and you should get the VISA grant soon, hopefully.

My CO nevers looks at the papers unless the 2 month period gets over i guess

Well said. Keep it as 2 months and hope for the best.

Not sure, but in my case 8 weeks seems to hold good. I dint cook anything up, just posted what they told me. For all of us, its earlier the better

For the benefit of all. I called the IMmi guys this morning and the information i got from them was that, every time new information is requested the CO doesn't go back to the file in general for 8 weeks. From my case it is so, as my initial request came from the CO on September 24 and the next came in on November 20. So all i can say to myself is that be patient and same applies to many of the guys in here who have been waiting for a long while.
