Catlady, Sorry to bother you but looking at your lodgement details you lodged 2 months before me, you had meds and police checks in Feb this year etc etc. I have not had any communication from our agent or Immy?. We can't get them done without authority ?. Do you have agent?, if so I presume Immy contact you via them and not direct, Just trying to work out the small difference in our dates of lodgement and the vast difference in progression?
-
Thanks for the info all,

Thanks catlady for the information, a little less to worry about, its dragging on so long now just hope nothing goes wrong or falls off before our number does come out, regarding moving in with relatives, it is possible but they are 20 miles away from our workplaces and its a load of hassle if you fall out. Your sister seems obliging does she live near Merseyside ?

Ok thanks I will get into training from tomorrow .... ,should be ok on half of that lot but how low do you have to squat ?

While I am on, has anyone recently had their medical carried out, I am interested in what they do or have you do ( besides the mass of history questions I am anticipating ) Any physical test ( I am overweight but pretty fit, my wifes bmi bang on but shes just pretty not fit ) Any mental agility tests ? not too worried about that but I'll swat up on what day it is before I go in

Are they talking about completed applications or is that when they start assessing the application? We applied 14th December 2014 so were literally putting our house up for sale this weekend assuming our 34 months were almost up and were looking forward to our AOS email at least. Timing critical for us as don't want to be forced out of our home until needed but some of our funds for the visa is trapped in the house . .

Hi all, just stumbled on this bit of info L dated 14/06/17 waiting time for cpv 143 = 75% now 35 months. 90 % now 39 months ! ( hope I have this wrong ! )

Hi Catlady, Can you tell me how big the movecube is please as pickfords loosely quoted me around £2000 to £3000 pounds ? How did you get a quote off the movers ? Hope your move goes well

That's a good enough incentive , lovely pic'

Wow, rogeliz, a bumpy road for you and so glad it worked out. I think I'm a little more nervous now ! Good luck with the rest of your adventure, hope the stress is all behind you .

Sorry, I didn't mean to butt into your conversation ( I have got friends, honest ! )
-
We have an agent but they have as much information as the rest of us and to be honest less it seems sometimes. Forums like pio are the best source and I really appreciate the information people post.

Hi All, As we applied in Dec 2014 our projected 34 months is due October ( yeahhh) as per the immi site. Is that projection a start date or completed by date , anyone know ? we have heard nothing from anyone about AOS , medicals etc so looking at the dates with a squint if its going to be completed by then as its still showing a now processing date of 3rd October ...
-
Hi, Timing is critical for me and when I asked my agent they said that once Case officer is appointed I would have 28 days to complete my Meds and Police check and send them back. Then Immy will respond within 28 days requesting the second vac payment and I have 28 days to pay up ! Sweating now its all getting close for us and just praying house sells and goes through not tooo soon and not too late

Exciting time for Catlady and we lodged 10 weeks after you so hopefully won't be more than a few months for us? fingers crossed. For those who have only recently lodged, imagine if Australia and Uk included freedom of movement between our two nations and did away with the Visa's !. (With my luck that is a real possibility.) It would nice wouldn't it ? I wouldn't mind for you all , I just want to be there, get a job and see our kids weekly or monthly instead of yearly. I have only recently got more involved in the forum and its been a nice experience, thanks everyone

Thanks for the information
-
Thanks Catlady2014, I was under the impression you could get your meds done and they were valid for 12 months but I won't jump the gun. Must remain patient!

Hi Everyone, I have read in the forum that some people had their medicals done in Edinburgh with doctors who know the best way to present the case and can be helpful with their knowledge. As we lodged our 143 application in Dec 2014 and we calculate ( as best we can with the information available) that we should be assigned a CO in Sept / Oct this year. We are planning to get our meds done soon in preperation. Do think this is a good idea and can anyone give me the details of the Doctors please?. Just realising how much of the UK we have not seen and a few days in Edinburgh would be a tick off the list.

Thanks for the info on currency transfer, I have spoken to torfx today and They say I can transfer funds, even smaller amounts, with no charge to my Aus bank account. I have to sign on and look into it further. ( you know what they say about if it's too good to be true) to be fair they have been very good with other information and transactions.
-
Thanks spoolboy67. looking at your dates, are you all done and dusted now or still waiting for the 143? We lodged in Dec 2014 and trying to judge when we might get our email?.
-
Hi Clarkesville and AMP, sorry for jumping in on your convo but my bank ( santander) want to charge me £25 for a transfer to an Aus account!. Is there a low cost option? as I would love to send a few pounds here and there into our account to build it up a little. We are with ANZ in Australia.
-
Thanks Quoll. At least if you know what you are up against you can prepare yourself. I have a small network of friends and there have been suggestions they might be in a position to help. I will remain positive but realiastic. Thanks again.

Hi NanaJan A post on facebook from immi said the system was struggling with the requests. Won't be long now !

Hi Kimbslice I posted a link to a page on the immy site giving expected time frames for the various visas. Should help message me if you cant find it.
-
I posted this link on the site yesterday but it doesn't seem to show on this thread. I don't know if anyone else has already posted it so sorry if it's duplicated. The link shows a table of times of processing for the various visas. The 143 is shown as 32-34 months. Anyway maybe it'll be of interest and help to someone. http://www.border.gov.au/about/access-accountability/service-standards/global-visa-citizenship-processing-times It's great to have people in the same boat and to share in your stories and advice. Thanks
