subs Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Illuminati - mine got lost in the cracks with NSW sponsorship. I came to know of that when I called up DIAC. Then I called up NSW and requested them to resend again, which they did and I had the CO the very next day. Hope this helps. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subs Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 A PLE lodged now will only get you standard replies which you are already aware of. This is generally of no use - I have used this twice with gilch results. I am happy to be proved wrong and should be still worth a try - all the best.

mrdavies1981 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Got CO today! They've asked for form 80 to be completed which looks a complete nightmare. Jars - yours will surely come some time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My CO also asked for form 80 and 1221. Form 80 is ok, just time consuming to complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithinoz Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Help!!! 176 lodged by Agent Dec 2009, still havent heard anything!! Really? Has the agent not provided you with an explanation? Did your nominated occupation drop off the SOL or something? Have you had any kind if confirmation fromDIAC to prove it was lodged? There must be an explanation - poor you :frown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE HULLS Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Hi guys, hope i can join this thread as have now applied for 176 just tonight... but i have a question which some of you guys may find silly....

Thanx all for any advice u may have for me...Linda. xx:wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nishi Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 My Co said this 'Thank you for providing the requested information and your travel itinerary. Your departure details have been noted for prompt finalisation of your visa application after your departure ' Does this basically mean i have been pre granted????? Hi aidanofl Yes this is Pre-grant notification. Did you send itinerary upfront to the Co?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidanofl Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 yep i sent it when i confirmed my police check had been uploaded. She also sent me an email yesterday saying 'The pre-grant letter is used to advice clients that their case is nearing finalisation, request that clients depart Australia for the purposes of visa grant and advice clients of their initial entry date. As you have already advised the department that you are departing Australia, and I can see that you will be returning before your initial entry date (14/05/13) there is no need to issue you a pre-grant letter. So fingers crossed i will be a permanet visa holder when i arrive back in Aus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So fingers crossed i will be a permanet visa holder when i arrive back in Aus If you don't mind, can I please ask how long are you leaving Australia for? Because we are waiting for pre-grant for almost two weeks now, I am wondering if we take a quick trip to Bali and let our Co know of our travel arrangement it might speed up the decision.

huythai Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 It looks like almost all people who lodge in the first week of May has been allocated CO now. Hope for the rest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidanofl Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 sure, i am actually going back to the UK for 6 weeks. Does all the items on your DIAC online checklist say met???? If so they should have done the pre grant by now. If you email a travel itinery it prob would speed things up and they will note to grant while you are away. Perhaps just email your CO and tell them you are looking to go away with expected dates and ask whether the visa will be finalised while away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea we called DIAC couple of weeks ago and they said all documents are met. Document check-list shows the same except medicals which were also uploaded on 9th May. I'll write to CO our travel dates and ask if decision can be made during that period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrumac Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 today's the day those still waiting for CO's! I feel it I'm cursing my mother re this Form 80, she has 4 middle names and has been married 2x so I've had to write out her entire name more times than I care to mention, plus I have 2 sisters, 1 half brother and sister and 1 step brother and sister and a step dad, I've moved 5 times in 10 years, do we remember the month we moved, we were struggling with the year! One question, how picky are they with holidays, I'm not putting weekends in Dublin or camping in France, unless.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After payment, you can still upload your docs by using this link: https://www.ecom.immi.gov.au/visas/attachment/start.do?attachType=VISA_APPLICATION&group=travel Omce the payment is made, you have no chance to adjust any info that you've filled. You will have a checklist to upload docs as you will see after payment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been over it a few times now and think its right, only thing is the other visa question, we have a 457 visa, does that go down in the other visa section as a business visa? THANKS!
