It is so difficult to "guestimate" where they are and how many have been issued. They say they only assessing up to July 2015 but we know they already started asking for docs in August 2015 for 143 and October/November 2015 for 173

@RosiejaqUnfortunately the information I need to bring to Knightsbridge has not arrived yet. Just saw your daughters issue I hope someone can help soon. No matter how much you prepare or get things in order before the time something always happens to stress us out more.
-
@Rosiejaq Best of luck for your medicals tomorrow. I am currently waiting for a previous chest x-ray I did in 2016 from Health services which hopefully I should receive today if so I will be hand delivering it to Knightsbridge tomorrow so who knows we may just cross paths!

@Sharad Guru Wow very impressed only 5 days between lodging AOS and interview call?
-
If you ask this question in the post labelled "The Brand New PIO Parents Visa" Thread someone will be able to assist you.

Just a heads up I went both times around 45 min before my appointment and they saw me straight away so even if you a little early try your luck. I was going to go and walk around the shops as I don't often go into London but a little out my pay grade i.e Gucci, Tommy Ford, Harvey Nicol, $$$$$

Had mine done at Knightsbridge Medical Doctor - London. I must say they are top class they explain every process they going through, very professional and very empathetic.

First had chest X-ray then had to pee in a cup so they can test glucose, protein and blood. Take your blood pressure, weight and height then get you to read letters an eye test. Goes through loads of "have you had...." then asks if you had any major surgeries long stay in hospital and if you on any medication. Takes blood pressure, then looks in ears and down your throat. Did knees and hand reflex test, Checked back, arms and legs for any skin issues. Laid down and she pressed all over torso. Took 1 vial of blood. Made me squeeze her fingers and then she placed both hands on my shoulders and asked me to push up while she pushed down and did same with the side of my face . They come back to you very quickly if they need to see you again. They found an abnormality in my X-Ray which could be a few things so they called me back the day after and I had another 2 X-Rays done. I am now waiting for Radiologist to check it and they will come back to me. I was very stressed but the Physician was great - I asked could this be an reason for my visa not to be granted if its something serious and he said "No whatever it is we will process through it" Hope this helps
-
There is so much movement it is great to see those that were stressing alongside me are feeling the same feelings as I am right now. Had my medical yesterday - talk about being thorough!
-
Edited this comment my previous comment is incorrect. they do Australia - apologise too much in a rush
-
For those that have already had their visa granted please could I ask the following as I want to make sure I get it right. 1. When you scanned and emailed form 80, colour page of passport and police certificate did you do it as 3 seperate documents on the same email? 2. Did you have the colour page of passport and copy of police certificate certified? Thank you
-
I had luckily kept all my old expired passports and checked the entry and exit stamps in the passport and luckily I kept every itinerary for the past 13 years. Did you keep your old passports? I have been lucky to only have worked 23 years for 1 company, 5 years for another and 10 years with the current company.

@Skeelsy - Newport is calling my name! Will be doing the switch to 143 the day I land (after giving lotsa loving to the kids) I'll hop onto that PC and get the ball rolling.
-
It would be so helpful to all if everyone posted their time lines it is very easy to do and you can update as you go along. At the top right hand side where your name is there is a downward arrow, click on Account Settings then on the left hand side of the screen you will see "signature" click on that, fill in your time line in the box and at the bottom you need to save. Same process to update.

70 days currently for 173 (thats for all additional) I am sure it is the same for 143
-
@RosiejaqI am so, so happy for you. This is wonderful news. 143 is moving again so we can all (2015'ers) start getting excited together!
-
I just received email from IMMI requesting police certificate, medical, form 80 and colour photo of passport. They have given me 70 days from date of email (previously I think you had 28 days) I am beyond excited.
-
@Skeelsy do you need to do police check, medical and form 80 again?
-
I thought they are assessing those 174 to 143 (Temporary to Permanent) lodged up to March 2018 which makes it 10 months - am I reading it wrong? 103 804 143 173 864 884 Temporary to Permanent Acknowledge New Applications JANUARY 2019 Queue Assessment Mar 2017 Jul 2016 N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A Visa Assessment Aug 2010 Jun 2010 Jul 2015 Jul 2015 Nov 2016 Nov 2016 Mar 2018
-
From what I gather it is only about 10 to 11 months at the moment from past test emails as I am planning on switching as soon as I activate my 173 so also been keeping an eye on the progress. @Skeelsy is currently doing the switch so may be able to give you the exact timeline.
-
Being on 173 hopefully they may submit the processing time in the month to come. I think the delay for AOS is the cause of the delay as well. I will be 39 months tomorrow so hopefully best case scenario is May and worst is August if its still sitting at 43 / 46 months.

https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-processing-times/global-visa-processing-times The visa processing time updated on 25th January for end December on the above website is very disheartening - never seen that comment for 143 before. 173 - Unavailable due to low volume of applications. 143 - Processing times are not available for this visa
-
Congratulations Judy to you and your family who I am sure are just as excited and elated as you are. A wonderful life lies ahead of you. Please drop in once in awhile to let us know how you are fairing.
-
@Kathss56 It is so difficult to take these dates to heart as I know some who lodged on 03rd, 07th, 10th and 16th July 2015 were asked for documents since last Friday (14th) but they saying up to 1st July 2015 - I don't mind IMMI are doing just fine and can continue at this speed or quicker if they feeling energetic !

@Bev50Bradley that IS a wonderful Xmas present. Now you can relax and enjoy your Xmas. Shows you that the auto reply is only an indication where they are a week or two on either side. It’s moving forward and that’s excitement for us all
