Oh my word guys. The day has come.  After nearly seven months of agonising waiting (close to break down at some stages!) our visa has finally been granted. I am in complete and utter shock. I hope with all my heart that you all receive the good news you are waiting for soon as I know from experience that it is so hard hearing if someone else's grant when you are still waiting for your own.  Much love and thanks for all the support and words of empathy of the past few months.  I will visit regularly to watch the rest come in ?

There you go Yikes!!! One happy soul like mine....

I hope and pray that everyone here soon get their visas!!!

I got my PCC in March 2017 and Meds in May 2017. My initial entry date is in November 2017 as mentioned in the grant.

Dunno how they calculate this time period but it is a lot quicker than what I estimated.

Great news, Paul7. 

As we are all so fed up with all this wait, perhaps it is good to have something more relaxing. I have been living in Melbourne for nearly 7 years so if anyone goes to Melbourne and would like to chat about school, accommodation, etc. I am happy to help.

Thank you so much Liz! I have to reside in SA for 2 years as a commitment. But please let me know if you know anyone from SA so that I can find help in getting some shared accommodation.

Excellent news - but also soo unfair!

I have submitted a 190 visa for the same occuptation, but I submitted mine on the 2nd March! I had C/O contact 3 weeks later and submitted Police and Med checks on the 30th March and still waiting! I wish there was some logic that could be applied to understand when I can expect my visa to be approved.

Please don't get me wrong, very happy that visas are being issued and other people are being successful - I guess I can just hope that my approval isn't too far behind your grant.

Thank you Pete. Please be patient. Everything works out for good!

Wow @Paul7. The feeling of relief must be incredible! No more waiting for you... that's it now! I'm so looking forward to that day!

Good news for those heading to SA as the Adelaide office are obviously in gear now. I'm heading to Victoria so goodness knows which 'office' deals with me!

Hello mates,

I've tried to observe the trends for the last two years regarding the visa grants. On 2016 July 4th a whopping 30+ each (189 & 190) were issued on a single day. 

And on July 3rd 2015 30+ each (189 & 190) were issued on a single day. 

I'm just talking about 5% of applications

Just wondering when that lucky day comes this year.

Hello guys,

Today CO contacted me second time requesting to sign a health undertaking (form 815). Do you guys have any idea when my application would be finalized after submitting this?

Thank you

Thank you for the reply. But there is nothing specifically mentioned except that 131xxxx number. :-(

There's just the email address and physical address of the office along with the name and position number of the CO. I emailed him thrice but no response.

My CO is from GSM Adelaide. Do u guys have any idea of their contact number?

Hi Paul,

Hopefully it's not much longer for you now you have all documents uploaded. Iv had the request for police checks and medicals today and my agent reckons its moving quite quickly.

Have you lived in SA before? I lived in Adelaide for year in 2012 on working hoilday visa.

Hi Darragh,

Yes hopefully. Do u have any idea how much time it takes after uploading all the docs? I'm expecting it around 45 days.

Hi Paul,  glad to have you on-board ! Hope the grants come in soon for all of us. I keep checking my immi account,  couple of times a day.. obsessive maybe.. but can't help it 

By when do you hope to make the move?    

 

 

 

 

Hi Nelly,

I'm expecting to move to Adelaide by the end of July upon receiving the visa grant letter. First myself to look for a proper job and accommodation and then my family. 

FYI: I keep checking my immiaccount 5 times a day!!! :-) :-) :-)

Hi Nelly & Darragh,

Glad to find you guys on the same boat. :-)

I've applied for 190 visa (South Australia ) on April 24th, CO requested documents on May 2nd. Done with everything and submitted on May 16th. Awaiting for the grant.
