Hi I am currently about 18 months into my 2 year period I am required to work for my sponsoring employer on a 187 visa and was wondering about the possibility of leaving the position earlier than this time due to unforeseen circumstances. The 2 year period will be up on 12 Jan 2019. I have recently had my first child and as a result am on maternity leave. I am aware that my maternity leave period does count towards the 2 year period and I will not be due back to work until after this period has been completed. We are currently living off the one income of my partner (as well as my government maternity pay until October this year), which is sporadic at the moment as work is extremely quiet in the area. Basically, I am interested to know if anybody else has been in a similar situation, and if so, would we have a leg to stand on if we moved away from the area so that my partner can find alternative work. If investigated, could we argue that we did not have financial security and as a result had to go elsewhere? Thanks in advance :)

Hi I was requested medicals on the 14th December and then my visa was granted today (12th jan) [emoji16] shouldn't be too much longer for you.

So happy to announce that at 7am this morning (wa time) my partner and I became residents!! Absolutely over the moon! Thank you everyone for the support of this forum. Hang in there guys it's a painful wait but it's worth it when the email comes through! Nom: 27th April Visa: 16th May Requested nom docs: 11 nov Nom approved: 14 Dec Visa: requested medicals 14 dec Medicals submitted: 23 Dec VISA GRANTED 12th jan!! DE LR occupation pharmacy technician all processed though VIC team 4 [emoji322][emoji898][emoji1037]

I applied in April. Nom approved mid December and requested to go for medicals for the visa. On my immi account it says the medicals were cleared on the 23rd December now impatiently waiting for the email that hopefully says I'm a resident! Fingers crossed there's lots of grants this week! Nom 27/4 Visa 16/5 Nom documents requested 11/11 Submitted 8/12 Nom approval 14/12 Visa medicals requested 14/12 Medicals cleared 23/12 Pharmacy technician

Congratulations! What processing centre had your file?

Thanks I've just checked on my immi account and my medical says no action required where as my partners still says processing which I'm expecting will take a couple of weeks as he has type 1 diabetes. Fingers crossed immi are satisfied with everything else in my application as all they requested was the medicals. Praying for a grant before Australia Day!

Myself and my partner were requested to go for our medicals on the 14/12 so we completed them yesterday. Does anybody know how long roughly immi take to look at the medical results? Also on my immi account it tells me to click on the 'information provided' once I've provided the necessary information. So shall I press that now since we've been for our medicals even though we haven't attached anymore documents into my application? Sorry if that doesn't make any sense! Getting so impatient now and with Christmas around the corner I have a feeling immi are going to slow down even more.

Thank you all for your replies I'll see if he can get any tests he has had here printed out and signed by his GP before going for the medical. Fingers crossed this goes smoothly as it's been such a stressful few months. Nomination was approved today and only document they requested for the visa was the medicals so just this one last hurdle to get over!

We are already in Australia as applied for our 187 visa onshore so he is registered with a GP here. His first hba1c readying was 8 and that was back in February his most recent one is 8.9 so hopefully that will still be ok. We will look through diabetes Australia thanks advice

Has anyone got any experience with going for a medical that has type 1 diabetes. My partner is a type 1 diabetic and we need to book our medicals. We want to make it as straightforward as possible so can anyone advise if there are any additional documents he will need to take to the medical with him? He's only just recently had a hba1c blood test which came back 8.9 for him this is good as his GP in the U.K. Told him to aim to keep it under 10 however we've been told by a pharmacist over here that 8.9 is high and he should be aiming between 6-7.

Thank you!! If you are free this weekend we should catch up. I know I can't believe it!! I'm so shocked that it's only medicals they asked for. Nick has type 1 diabetes so hopefully that doesn't cause too much of a problem

One step closer nomination has just been approved!! I'm soo happy as we've been told by immigration over the phone and 2 MA's to withdraw and resubmit because my boss sold 40% of the business since we applied creating a new ABN but as of this morning it's approved! As for my visa they've just requested medicals. Nomination 27/4 Visa 16/5 Occupation pharmacy technician Team 4 Vic

Vic team 4. What about you? I think it will get refused though because the business changed ABN since we applied so immi asked my employer to clarify so we've submitted the reason along with supporting documents from their accountant etc so basically waiting to hear weather we need to resubmit under the new ABN or not

Thanks for the heads up! Looks like it will after the new year now then. I think the wait is harder now I've actually had some contact from a case officer I was a lot more patient before they got in touch

Is there an average wait time once documents are submitted? Info requested on 11/11 submitted on 29/11 the 8/12 was the 28th day since they requested so I know it's not even been a week yet but so impatient now and keep checking my immi account to check! It was VIC team 4 that had my case Blackpool, UK to Geraldton, WA RSMS Pharmacy tech Nom 27/4/16 visa 23/5/16

Thank you what an early Christmas present you have got! Enjoy the celebrations and the rest of your life in Australia! Blackpool, UK to Geraldton, WA RSMS Pharmacy tech Nom 27/4/16 visa 23/5/16

Congratulations! What did you end up submitting again for your nomination documents with regards to the change of circumstances? My employer has submitted everything now. Letter explaining, new BAS, a copy of some of my payslips and a copy of another employees payslips and even a letter from the local MP stating that the business is successful, locally owned and well known around town etc. Congrats again!

My boss submitted a change of circumstances notice as that's what we were advised to do. If we hadn't told them and they asked for further documents like a new BAS or more of my wage slips etc they would of found out anyway and then would be questioning why we didn't tell them about it Blackpool, UK to Geraldton, WA RSMS Pharmacy tech Nom 27/4/16 visa 23/5/16

Immi hasn't refused the nomination just yet, they have asked us about the new partnership and ABN number but I'm not sure for definite what they have actually asked for. My MA has all that info though and just sent me an email now saying that she's done research but can't find any positive cases like mine and it's likely to be refused.

Hi everyone. I am pretty sure I've mentioned this already but I'm just desperate for some positive comments on people who may have been in a similar situation. I applied for 187 DE, since I applied the abn number changed as my boss sold 40% of the business which created a new ABN number however the business structure is exactly the same literally all that has changed is the ABN number and the name on the ABN number the workplace is still the same name and same staff members (it was two staff members that bought into the business) On the 11th November we had contact from immi about this and now I've just received and email from my MA basically saying that it's likely to be refused. I'm desperate to stay obviously and I can't submit a new application as I'm already on a BVA Blackpool, UK to Geraldton, WA RSMS Pharmacy tech Nom 27/4/16 visa 23/5/16

Pharmacy technician and I've applied direct entry onshore LR

Nomination applied 27/4 Visa applied 23/5 I'm located in WA but my case is with team 4 Vic, Case officer made contact on the 11/11 asking for clarification on nomination details as the business has had to change ABN since we applied.

On the 9th of November the auto email said applications lodged early feb but it's not very accurate as I applied late April and had contact from CO last week.

They haven't actually said what documents we need to send them more so asking why the ABN number has changed. Well I think anyway. I have a print out of what they sent my employer but I'm still shocked that they've picked me case up and just confused with it all. Information overload!
