    Hey @HomewardBound, I think that depends on how you received the request. Although, i dont believe there is any queue jumping for anything. Cases are addressed lodgement date order, some cases are simpler than others and take less time. We received notification a few weeks after lodgement to complete our medical, once complete they upload clearance and it sits with your evidence waiting to be viewed by an agent once it's your turn. All up ours took around 9 months. Fingers crossed for you, hopefully having been granted before will help your case!

    Hey, absolutely needed. Our RFI was for both UK and Aus police checks for my hubby (sponsor). Luckily we'd already ordered them so it didn't take long. You get a limited amount of time to provide information when requested and both checks can take a couple of weeks so well worth getting them done.
  3. GemTrae
    No. ACRO only covers UK police clearance. The Aus Federal clearance is applied for separately. Will see if I can find the link that immi sent us to use.
  4. GemTrae
    Both you and your husband would need to apply for each police check individually. I doubt you can apply on somebody's behalf as it's sensitive data. You need to provide a digital passport photo and the name of someone they can contact to confirm your identity for an ACRO. Or that's what we both had to do.

    Got everything crossed for you @ZoeHoulding. Xx

    Aus here I come. I've been waiting in chilly old London all this time

    So I (applicant) only submitted my UK ACRO certificate, I've only ever lived in the UK. My husband (sponsor) received a request for both UK and Aus police clearance certificates. He grew up in Aus but lived here in the UK for nearly 10 years.

    Just been saying to @CEP. We need a visa survivors party once we've all made the move! Class of 2018!

    Aaaaahhhh amazing news! Huge congratulations! So, so happy for you! Our backwards theory was bang on!
  10. GemTrae
    @CEP no way. I literally got mine at the very end of the working day today. If we are working on the backwards theory that could mean you and @Charbok as they start work tomorrow.? Crossing all crossable bits!
  11. GemTrae
    @CEP and @Charbok I may protest decline if you haven't got yours today!
  12. GemTrae
    Oh my days...i can't breath!!!! Saw @Paddsy (huge congratulations to both you and @AdStanna btw!) post at the end of my work day and realised that today was the first day in a long time where I haven't reloaded my emails every 5 seconds. Que opening email whilst preparing for the usual disappointment...both 309 and 100 granted!!!! I have no more words, I'm just going to sit here and drink the champers that's been in my fridge waiting much more patiently than I have! @CEP please please tell me you got yours too!!!!
  13. GemTrae
    They're breaking my heart right now.
  14. GemTrae
    Congratulations to everyone receiving grants today! @CEP @Charbok @Paddsy fingers crossed ours are on their way too. Surely can't be long now!
  15. GemTrae

    Welcome to the lounge!
  17. GemTrae
    Yeah, feeling a bit broken and sulky today! Hormones and patience don't mix well it seems.
  18. GemTrae
    Lol kind of hoping they could finish May's first!!
  19. GemTrae
    Well, flights are booked for 8th July. Qantas have a flash sale on for anyone looking at travelling! No sign of a visa yet so still not sure whether I'll need to pay for my medical again.
  20. GemTrae
    So quiet this week. It's survivable as long as there's still grants happening in general, at least someone's getting good news!
  21. GemTrae
    Lmao @CEP, yep all of the above. Just doing another tourist lap of London with my dad. About to get off the bus at Temple, wondering if I should pop into the embassy and attempt to put in a good word for us!?
  22. GemTrae
    Oh no, don't be doing that. I just keep reminding myself that had anything else been needed it would've been asked for at RFI. Its just a case of lots of applicants and not many COs. Our time will come. However, if I here "good things come to those who wait" spoken one more time I think I'll hibernate until the email arrives!
  23. GemTrae
    Thanks @CEP. It's got to be our turn next!
  24. GemTrae
    Same here . Can't leave until July but just want the waiting to be over!!
  25. GemTrae
    Aaahhh as if you were in kings cross. Hubby and I both work in that area. I know I shouldn't be surprised that somebody was at a huge central London station...but still!!! Small world.
