    That's correct - I'm referring to the Visa. The nomination is a little different.

    Correc, however, currently they need to provide you with a valid, detailed reason. My understanding is that this, will change that.

    @maria8999It gets worse... I have heard that next year March, they'll be amending the immigration law, allowing CO's to reject cases based off missing information. - Meaning, they don't even need to request additional / missing data. If it's not there - they will have the power to simply reject the application. It's in an attempt to being queuing down and help with processing times. - There's obviously massive issues with this approach, especially for people who are doing it themselves. Regardless, I heard about this about a month ago and can't find the article on same now, but it's definitely something in the making - my MA confirmed the same, a while back. - I'd love to hear from anyone that has heard the same and has the articles of same. I think we can be lucky to already be in the system, as i'm sure there will be leaniansy on those who've already appplied.

    @itbk This is completely possible, however, off my own personal experience. The CO gave us a new HAP ID for a new medical that was requested for both my children (they each got their own, new ID). Regardless, when in doubt, trust the MA

    1. This is entirely up to the CO, they may and they may not, unfortunately - I don't think anyone can give you an exact answer on this. - Typically, they allow about a 3 month window, after expiry, however, there have been many cases where new files are requested only weeks after expiring. 2. I assume she says this, worrying that the CO might only review your visa after 30 Jan 2019. If they are still valid at the time of viewing, there is no reason to re-do them. In saying that, I typically follow what my MA suggests and they are paid to "know better" right?

    @Newday If Bellabonkers did this last week only, I would then go with this route. It actually sounds way easier and quicker anyway.
  7. Hex
    @Bellabonkers Are you sure on this? I was told that you need a new HAP ID for the new set of medicals. You would then simply update your application with that new HAP ID?
  8. Hex
    @Newday We would have done it through our Immi account (new application --> health declaration).
  9. Hex
    This is great advise and I echo the same thoughts.

    This is also why I said it's entirely up to each person's situation and circumstances. For me, the money was not worth the added wait, especially as it seems to be so long already. So I understand what you mean about the finances, however, it's up to the applicant. As we mentioned, it "should" be seen within 10-12 months, however, some are taking make longer, in which case it could be more expensive.
  11. Hex
    I think 7-8 is a little optimistic. I'm of the opinion - expect the worst, hope for the best. I'd allow up to 10 months, so you don't get upset if it does take little longer than expected.
  12. Hex
    @POMMYGAL Yes, absolutely - all you need to do is apply for a new medical from the immi account, meaning you'd get a new HAP ID. You would then go into Bupa with this, and tell them about your application. Not only should they update your personal account with the medicals, but your application as well. - This is the route we were going to go. The alternative, is to wait for the CO and let them give you a new HAP ID (which they get the same way).
  13. Hex
    Doing this (the medicals when told to do so) just means that you're willing to wait an extended amount of time for the grant. Typically, once a CO requests a new medical - there is a minimum of 28 days (to upload the new files), then additionally about another week (if you lucky) before the CO revisits the case (at soonest). For me, the wait was not worth it, hence, I was going to redo them all on expiry. This is entirely a personal / circumstantial decision and differs from person to person, depending on if they can / are willing to wait.
  14. Hex
    PCC's typically last for 12 months. My suggestion would be to always get updated documents when they are nearing /passed expiry. The last thing you want (or me) would be for the CO to review your case and put everything on hold, just for another PCC / medical. You do typically get a few months (at max) leniency, depending on the CO - but I'm of the opinion of why risk it.
  15. Hex
    YAY! Awesome. Thanks admins!
  16. Hex
    Yep - basically means that it's been uploaded and is ready for CO.

    @MaggieMay24 What are your thoughts on creating / adding a new emoticon / reaction for "congratulations"? Don't get me wrong, I'm all for congratulating people on their approvals, I just think how many less pages / more refined the data would be without the tons of posts with "congrats". My thoughts are that, instead of replying to a post simply to say "congrats", you could show that same reaction by means of emoticon / reaction (like the "like" / "thanks" etc.). Just a thought?
  18. Hex
    This is exactly my point as well - if they did, they shouldn't be an MA
  19. Hex
    As far as I'm aware, if you're profession has been removed then you shouldn't be able to apply for a visa (especially if you are using an MA). However, I'm not 100% on this - although it does seem like anything after March 2018 would be affected. I agree with @ajk, in that you should contact your / a MA to confirm and look at alternatives.

    @Tomlfc1992 Thanks mate, I made a promise to myself, that once approved I would try and help whom ever I could with this process. Knowing how stressful it is, and where I was when I started - it really helps being in the know and getting some guidance from time to time, when needed.
  21. Hex
    No, it shouldn't. However, that's just my opinion - my understanding is that the processing time (once lodged) is regardless of other changes (which do not affect the existing application). Had you applied for the visa at the same time as the nomination, I would have bet money that you'd have you're approval by now . However, this looks to only be a delay, to the inevitable.
  22. Hex
    @ajk It looks like it, yes. However, you have already lodged so it should not affect your application.
  23. Hex
    Unfortunately - they typically allow 28 days for the uploading of all requested documentation. Meaning they (typically) only revist the case at best, after a month (no matter how quickly you get the documentation to them). I also experienced this, providing all requested documentation within a few days of the request - each time, the case was only revisited after the 28 days had expired. My MA told me the same thing at the time.
  24. Hex
    Nope, I had to upload a new medical for my son (he had turned 2 during the process and needed a TB clearance by law). The process stayed in Initial Assessment the entire time, then straight to finalized.
  25. Hex
    Were there any new documents uploaded / updated on your account (either by you or your MA)? You can see this under your "uploaded files" section. - Worst case scenario (if you really can't see what changed) you could call and ask your MA - they should be able to confirm.
