CountingStars Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Well it's my bf that has applied, I'm already in Aus so hoping he can get this visa ASAP! He applied 28/8, front loaded meds via MyHealth Declarations and has PCC for UK and NZ. However NZ PCC will be 12 minths old in December... i'm wondering if CO has done an external check. But so far there has been no contact or updates on immi page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haseeb Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 If you look back through this thread you should get a good idea. CO is usually assigned after 8-10 weeks, then its waiting. Have any of the June guys had any news, not heard anything for a while and keep popping on to check...Shreya, Syed,PorkFarms etc? Haseeb anything from you? Nothing so far mate.. really its getting frustrating now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinnu Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Hi Long Pen, many congrats I have also applied in 16th Sep but no news yet from DIBP. No CO and No grant yet. Keeping fingers crossed hoping to get this week my golden ticket. All docs and medical uploaded forefront. Regards chinnu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderingwheels Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) Lodged 189 on 9 Nov. At the end of the confirmation email, I can see GSM Adelaide along with their address. Does this mean my CO will be from the Adelaide team? Uploaded all supporting other than Meds and Local PCC. Further, I got a link to organize medicals but no link to organize PCC. I am being asked to provide a Referral Letter for getting the Local PCC. From where can I get this? Can anyone on this forum suggest? Thanks in advance.

long pen Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) The timeframe could be fluctuated around 8 weeks. In my case, the CO allocation starts from week 6th. If you are worried, u can call DIAC on provided number to check whether ur case has been allocated to which team and which CO? If they answered you already had CO allocated, and you have uploaded all necessary docs including PCC and medicals. You should receive the direct grant. I think u r now very close. Be a little bit patient as in my case, it comes quite suddenly. Best of luck Hi Long Pen, many congrats I have also applied in 16th Sep but no news yet from DIBP. No CO and No grant yet. Keeping fingers crossed hoping to get this week my golden ticket. All docs and medical uploaded forefront.

Chinnu Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Hi Joybee, following you you since beginning, where in Australia you are planning to work and live. I am also a nurse and looking to Melbourne. However this visa waiting is killing now. DIBP states that they need 1356O nurses this year in Oz and only 1300 have applied since July this year. DIBP should fast track application that are in demand. Hope this his week is a golden week for us. Regards chinnu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
