embassy Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Hi All, I managed to get my application for a 175 submitted on Wednesday. All this after being told I needed to do an ACS RPL on Monday. So relieved I managed to get it all in. ACS were really understanding and look forward to reading about how you all get on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klm081 Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Thank goodness! Wow can't believe I lodged in time! For everyone that has uploaded their documents themselves, can you do upload as many times as you want, or do you have to upload everything at once? And does everthing have to be certified before you scan it? Also when for payslips did you scan each individual payslip or just your P60's? Sorry questions questions! I'm driving my son insane at the moment with excitement! Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murta Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 i havent completed my oploading taking his day as it comes but i am assuming you can keep uploading as much as you want ... maybe others might know better. Yes the pasyslip I read elsewhere that if you are using the point for the eg 8 years then you need evidence for 8 yrs..letter from HR all that u think off. the co will let you know when its enough. i see some are invited to interview at a local embassy for more info on work experience. i am not certifying anything. good luck!!

Guest melanie79 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 hi guys! decided to join you on this thread! 175 submitted at the end of june- just in the nick of time! just wanted to thank everyone here on pio too for all the advice/info ive got/read in the last 6 months-its been invaluable! mel x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzmatazz Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) Anyone in the process of uploading. Doing the police checks, I really can t see them coming back before 28 days? We have 8 years of UK then 2 years of ireland. Not very hopeful for the irish one! http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/estimated-allocation-times.htm I think all the 175 June submitters should check this link before getting PCC and Meds. Meds are very expensive so I really would advise waiting for a CO. It really can take as long as 12 months before getting one. You will see you are in priority processing group 4. It can happen quicker and sometimes you can get contacted after a few weeks (i believe), but I would suggest waiting. The 176 state sponsored visa allocation times are not a good indicator for 175's as they are in group 3. Hope this helps. PS once you get a case officer you will get an email asking for form 80 (not a guarantee as it is not always needed) your PCC and MEDS and anything else they might need like pays slips or what ever else you might have left off. It will say you have 28 days to do so. However, if you cant get them back in time (which is to be expected for some docs) then you just have to upload the application forms and receipts for the PCC's etc, then when they arrive you will email them to your CO.

fjd Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Hi all. I have been an avid read-only follower of the forum for several months and a big thank you to all who do contribute. So time for me to contribute back ... My wife submitted her application for a 175 at the beginning of May this year (2012) and this morning she received the GRANT notification and we are now somewhat shell-shocked but very, very excited. The whole process has taken just over six months from decision to for it, through IELTS, skills assessment and then submission. It took 2 months for the DIAC process to complete; and we were expecting the 9-18 months as per most of the threads on this forum. Now the real planning starts !

Guest ajmcom Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Hey All, This is my first post so I just thought I would introduce myself here. Im Alan, Im 24, Im Irish and Im living in Qatar, working as a QS in Construction. I spent 10 months in Oz on Working holiday back in 2008 and loved the place. I left in early 2009 when the global financial crisis hit with the long term plan to return on GSM visa. After some part time study for a QS qualification and 3 years work experience under my belt I eventually met the points threshold in March 2012 and after my second attempt at the IELTS, I got above 8 score and lodged my 175 on 24 May 2012 just in time for the rule change. So fingers crossed I havent messed it up! I have lots of queries which I have to get through but just thought I would say hello first! :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillllip Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Guys get ready. I lodged my application on 30.05.2012 and got my CO today 11.07.2012. So you are coming soon. The CO is asking for medicals and PCCs. I'll be done probably next week with these. But I have no idea what to do with the FBI, I already sent the documents but I'm having some problems with the delivery. Most probably I'll get new fingerprints and use sourier service this time, but I'll have to inform the CO for a delay for the FBI PCC, even though I was in the States from 05.2002 to 09.2004. If the CO is asking for medicals and PCCs, that means that everything else is ok - is that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillllip Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 I'm an electrical engineer from Bulgaria. My assessment didn't approved my electrical engineering, but they gave me Engineering Technologist /what that means?/, which sounds like a lower level electrical engineer. So I applied under Engineering Technologist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davo1 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Hi Sujit, Please excuse my stupidity but I am struggling to get my information on the spreadsheet! Can you help/advise? Thanks! Hi all, I am sure many of you would have already seen the thread we have for 175 cat 4 . We are tracking the progress of the applications in this thread and the thread is a treasure trove of information. The link to the thread is http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=121645&referrerid=67742 . We are also tracking application statuses in a google spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqEBgay7xfFvdEpQS2NMbTItV1o5bTctcE4wa1pVWHc . It would help us all if you could add your details on the forum so that we all can benefit from the information. I can understand your decision to start a new thread , I thought maybe you all can benefit from what we are doing in the thread. Good luck to all with their applications. Cheers, Sujit.
