We finally got our grant today. Lodged December 17th.

Direct grant 2nd July

Family of 5, 190 visa.

So happy, final month felt like a year knowing they were going to slow up due to end of financial year.

Good luck to everyone else waiting. Fingers crossed for you all.

Congrats, time to declutter! [emoji23]

Thanks for the replies, sounds like a plan, was hoping to split them between container and luggage but I'll see what the vet says - hes doing quite well out of us migrating! [emoji846]

Hi ...

We are importing our crazy Labrador who has medicated and well controlled Epilepsy. Quarantine have told us that we should only send enough meds to cover his 10 day stay as they will destroy any left over meds and release him with nothing!

We have bought his meds in bulk so we have a bit of a stockpile! Will we be able to ship any of these? even a few months worth? or do we have to find a new vet in Aus real quick?

bit of an odd one I know, Thanks for any info

I finally got my direct grant today after 175 days today

Congrats, fantastic news

Just wanted to update this to add that we got the same response today from Singapore Airlines regarding the 40kg migrant baggage allowance.

They also confirmed for me that both of our flights are operated by Singapore Airlines and not codeshares.

now we just have to haul it all to the airport :)

Boom!! Got my direct grant today for SA! 179 days. Thank you all for your valuable support. You guys kept me going! Good luck to all in the group. Hope you receive your GRANT ASAP!!!

Whoop! congrats, nice to see thay are steadily working through Grants at the min, soon we'll all be packing up:)

So I've just paid my visa fees, and due to the exchange rate it was £150 cheaper than I thought which is a bonus.....but I've just had a message of skillselect saying that I have suspended my EOI because I've applied for the visa.
 
Is this normal?

yup, same happened to us, then it was closed when the visa was granted :)

Check the pinned post at the top of this forum, this post was created by an MA [emoji3]

Thanks everyone, fingers crossed for everyone else [emoji16]

Thanks everyone.

Fingers crossed all of you still waiting will get your grants very soon

Woooooop! This is brilliant news.
Have you gone into uber-planning mode yet?

Strangly no, Just a bit of an excited frazzle! head is spinning, so much to do!

our 190 granted today, 131 days, Direct Grant, No CO contact,

What a relief! I'm sure you'll all get contact soon [emoji16]

our 190 was GRANTED today, took 131days, Direct Grant so no case officer contact. And no MA, which I started to worry was a bad decision as time went on but all good

Good luck to everyone waiting, I'm sure they are working away on your visa and you'll get grants soon [emoji38]

Im at the point where I'd just love some kind of update - a request for extra info, case officer assigned, processing, anything - just so I know my application hasnt got lost in the ethos!

Recieved .... sigh

Unfortunately I'm not on facebook! May be if you'll can post updates here, I'll keep in touch.

Hey Renault, I'm pretty sure you can just use Messenger without Facebook - not sure how that works but if it interests you - prettt sure we'll still be on here all the time anyway :)

Estimated Processing Time for the 190 visa has changed to 9 months to 11 months!

thanjs for the update .... meh to the news

We are all flying out tomorrow afternoon! Last full day today in the UK! Snowing here in Glasgow so will be perfect contrast given its 30 degrees in Adelaide just now. Can't wait!

awesome, so pleased for you Jimbo, Have a safe flight

Tickets booked! I leave the 12th May. I will be spending some time with family in Brisbane first then making my way to Adelaide.
Work have also offered to keep my job open in the UK for 12 months should it all go wrong. 

Awesome news Jetblast, so happy for you, hopefully we all wont be too far behind you.

Lovely touch from your employer, shame they dont have offices in Adelaide! a nice little touch to pop on your CV or mention in an interview [emoji6]

We are trying to get our house on the market, but still a few jobs to do to make ut more appealing! Good luck J & S hopefully the 3 month brexit extension will steady the market ling enough for us both to sell [emoji16]

Haha! April fools!

Thanks Jellica
Would it effect me if I had state nomination but hadn't lodged my visa application yet?

Only if your points drop I think, you must still qualify for the same points you claimed for State Sponsorship.

SA will sponsor you on their rules from the date you submitted to them, and once they have sponsored you - so long as you still qualify for the same points when you submit your visa application then I'm pretty sure your all good [emoji4]

Morning all I have a question if anyone can answer it please.
I submitted my EOI to SA & skillselect 2 weeks ago for a 190 visa, if any rules change regarding my trade or points during this time would that make my EOI void?
Also if my EOI gets accepted and again anything changed before I submitted my visa application would that stop my application?
Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,

My understanding is that SA will assess you based on their occupations list and conditions as they stood the day you submitted your application. So changes after that shouldnt affect your sponsorship chances.

I think this again happens the day you submitt your visa application - so you are assessed on the points you qualify for on the day you submit the visa Application.

Hope this helps - not quite 100% on this so anyone else want to correct me, go ahead [emoji16]

If anyone wants to open a bar on / next to Henley beach - it could be a good call! [emoji23]

Think we could start an annual PIO Henley beach festival, anyone know a DJ?

I think its awesome, the more the merrier
