samlee1985 Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 Quick question, if you are granted the 189 visa, how long do you have to get it authorised? Normally you have to enter the country within 12 of your Medical or Police check (whichever is earlier) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cevansucks Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Hi everyone, got my CO yesterday!! I applied for visa 189 on the 6th of May after getting an invitation on the 5th of May. Pretty quick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samlee1985 Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Pretty quick then! I'm a few days behind you, so possibly in the next week or so :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou8670 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Hi Lou, I've uploaded all my documents (apart from police check and medical) and all have the status received. I've sent off for my police check and I am going to book my medicals for next week hopefully. What link do you mean to click? There is a link that says "Organise your health examinations" but when I click on this link nothing happens (a new window opens but its blank), anyone any ideas of how to get link to health forms / book medical, or do I just arrange myself? Thank you Sorry Redhand. Been without the Internet so I've only just see seen your post. Did you manage to sort out your medicals? We're in the UK at the moment for our medicals which are tomorrow!!!

TheReids Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 We had our medicals yesterday and are still waiting on our police checks arriving (although they have sent us a receipt). Medicals seemed to go well for both of us so fingers crossed for a visa grant next month!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Hand Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Sorry Redhand. Been without the Internet so I've only just see seen your post. Did you manage to sort out your medicals? We're in the UK at the moment for our medicals which are tomorrow!!! Hi Lou, Hope your medicals go well today!! My link doesnt seem to bring anything up, not sure what is wrong with it. Rang one of hte centres that do medicals and gave them my TRN and they said they could access my details on the system, so hopefully it will be ok. Going to book medical in a few weeks time. Hope we are all in oz soon!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Hand Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Hi Red Hand, did you do your medicals yet? Please let me know the process if you have. hi bijit, i havent booked medicals yet, hopefully in next few weeks. most people seem to be abel to access the forms online on the same page you upload your evidence documents. my link doesnt seem to work. i just rang one of the medical centres and gave them my trn and they could access all my details from this. think it is worthwhile pre-booking meds before a co is assigned from what people are posting!! good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReids Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Our CO old us that all further paperwork had to be with them within 28 days so I'm quite glad we pre-booked our medicals. Saying that, she did tell us that we could ask for an extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It asks you a number of health related questions and there is also next button afterwards. I havent clicked on the next button yet as I am not ready to do so yet. Try using a different browser like safari or firefox etc it might work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another problem Im facing is eventhough I have uploaded all the required documents some of them are still showing as "Required" Any idea? Check on the uploaded documents list (where the file names etc are shown) whether the required docs shows there as uploaded. If not, then you will have to upload again. It happened to me as well for few of the docs which were already uploaded but was showing as required. Afterwards I noticed that those docs did not get uploaded and not showing on the uploaded document lists. I uploaded them again and now the status shows as received and also the file names are listed in the uploaded documents list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tam tam Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Hi Everyone, Me and my boyfriend have applied for my 189 visa through a visa agent on the 14th May we are both British (I am SA born and raised however) and he will be my de facto hubby (lucky him). She has given my an 8 week turn around time to get allocated a case office so that is first week of July. Hope its sooner. Any other early May applicants got their case officer yet? Also can anyone tell me what the rule is regarding the time restriction on sending through character and health checks once requested? As i thought there was only a time limit to apply once you received an EOI? Holding thumbs for us all :cute: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmyLee Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Have you asked about your CO and from which team? what further DIAC has advised you- eamil to CO or wait for him/her email? They are from Adelaide office and I have their number if I need them! They didnt really advise anything as all I wanted to know is if there was an issue, as it was over the case officer allocation date and others who had submitted after me had case officers! Im now happy to wait and let them contact me if they need to?! I have front loaded everything (I hope) so it makes sense that they havent made contact i SUPPOSE!
