samlee1985 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Hi Guys, Me and the Mrs have got ourselves caught between a rock and a hard place! We have had our medicals requested by our case officer and booked them for tomorrow. The problem is we are not planning to move until the first week of June 2014. I have done a search and some posts say Initial entry is 12 months from meds & PCCs (whichever is earlier). On this train of thought we would have until 14/06/14 to enter the country – which is fine. HOWEVER I have seen some threats that don’t mention the full date and indicated just the month e.g. “Must enter before June 14”. Which would obviously mean we would have to leave in May 14. The obvious thing would be to wait till July to do our medicals but 1) We are on holiday from 1st – 14th by which time the 28 days will be over 2) The booking tomorrow is too late to cancel with less than 48 hrs notice Can anyone shed any light? My Mrs’s placement doesn’t finish until 30th May and we would rather not cut it short by a week. Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
familyof4 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I am certain it is done by date not just month, but I'm sure someone will be along soon who knows for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Rad Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Ours def done by date as stated on grant letter and on visa sticker in our passports as well as been etched on my brain!!! Good luck! Mr K x Hi Ours was granted with the date as well. You mention the visa sticker. How did you get that as I got told that the visa is electronic and just entering the country will be enough? Cheers Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debz101 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Mine definitely has a specific date...... just looked, coz I had a mild panic that it didn't and my booked flights were too late. Ha Ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Keeneyboy Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Hi Kev,We used an agent, after visas were granted they requested them to be sent to Australian House for them to attach visas. I know this has been discussed on here before and not everyone has stickers. Might be worth checking.Mrs K x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Keeneyboy Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Debz, I know how you feel, our date is so tight as my son sits his last GCSE on the 19th June and we have to enter by 26th June. We fly out eve of 19th!! Will be so relieved when we've validated! Mrs K x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agibb83 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Hi It is done by date, we had our meds at the end of may and my daughter was graded a B so we thought we were in for a long wait because they would have been reffered, but this suited us as my wifes sister is getting married back here in scotland on the 17th may 2014, however 2 1/2 weeks later we recieved our visa grant letter and entry in to oz is by 15TH MAY 2014 aaaggghhhh so were gonna head over in aug to validate then return back for the wedding, not ideal but this has to be done ......

lebourvellec Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 It is an exact date of either the earlier medical or police check. Will be date medical was carried out not finalised. Ours went by the date of my husbands french police check. Which was week earlier than we did the medicals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
