Incata Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Mmm sounds fun, look forward to that one! My agent said that they are being particularly slow with allocating CO's as its the end of the Australian financial year?!? We put our application in on 18th June and no case officer yet but I wouldn't expect one for about 4 weeks - does that fit with others' expectations? I spoke to my agent today and they said the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrumac Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Hi all, Got my Victoria SS through today....only took 10 weeks!!!! :chatterbox: Now then, should I apply for the 176 or wait til Sunday and apply via Skill Select? Will my visa be processed more quickly on Skill Select? I'd apply for the 176 now, if processing is about the same as when I applied in May you;ll have a visa in July/early Aug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to everyone one on here for all your comments and advice! :wubclub: Well done - we used Go Matilda too, can't fault them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh3p69 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Aaand relax....got wa ss a couple of days ago and have just lodged the 176 and uploading docs:). Just a quick question though...did anyone else sign the form electronically and e-mail back to the state sponsors using echosign? cheers all, Darren Hi there and congratulations on making it in time for the 1st of July. Yes it will be OK signing it with that echo-sign thing, we did and all was OK. After you have filled it out and stamped it with your electronic signature, save and send it as an attachment on a email, If you try and send it with Adobe it a PAIN in the backside...Good luck on your journey...

Will my visa be processed more quickly on Skill Select? Hi aduffield76, I would suggest you to go ahead with online application ASAP...........why do you think so many people are racing to apply before the 1st July deadline.......... Skill select is exclusively by invitation from DIAC after which you can make the application........you just apply via skill select and wait that DIAC would send you invitation to make the application....... DONT WAIT.............DO IT NOW..........all the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzmatazz Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Well after last night (or should I say into early this morning) finishing my app, uploading many docs and paying a fortune to the OZ immigration we join the wait for a CO. :biggrin: Just a reminder to those of you cutting it even more fine me. Adelaide is many hours ahead of much of the rest of the world especially the UK so if you do it on sat 30th make sure it is early morning your side or you wont make the cut off.

Shouldn't be too long now though, hopefully.

poppops Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Welcome vazagothic and congrats on the 176 and new baby coming............what an exciting time all around! Can't give info on how to solve birth certificate issue but I think there are other ways to prove a birth like family history and family statements, do a search on DIAC website. Are you doing yours yourself or with an agent? If you are in the U.S. like me and haven't sent off for your FBI background check I would do it now since it is taking 8+ weeks ($18 a copy) unless you are not looking to get visa in a hurry.Good luck, I submitted mine JUne 1st and just got 5 pg. email confirmation of receipt - looks like being processed out of Adelaide. Hi Mu husband does not have a birth certificate due to where he was born (not the done thing back then!) We sent a ID card as proof. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walvia Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Hi all, I lodged my application yesterday 27/06/12 but when I tried to upload my documents immediately, it said my application wasn't ready to receive uploaded documents. Also, on my checklist, it still lists many documents as required. Is it after I have been assigned a CO that my documents will be called for? I really need help on what to do after one's visa application has been filled and paid for. Where do I go to upload documents? Thanks guys.

paris hipon Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Hi maybe you can try logging in this website since the website for uploading the docs is separate from the site where you check your visa app status. https://www.ecom.immi.gov.au/visas/attachment/start.do?attachType=VISA_APPLICATION&group=travel Hi all, I lodged my application yesterday 27/06/12 but when I tried to upload my documents immediately, it said my application wasn't ready to receive uploaded documents.
