nikkiwd Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Rachel, first you put in your EOI and then you will receive a state sponsorship application after a few days, if you are successful they will give you a visa invite. Once you lodge the visa (and pay the big money!) and your application is on the system, then you can go ahead and book medicals. We aren't using an agent either so have been finding our way using this website and others to research what to do. Just ask if you have any other questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikkiwd Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 singhperth, on the page where you log in to skillsellect (you don't need to actually log in though), on the right hand side there is a list of things, one of them is 'continue a saved online visa application', click this then it will take you to the page where you will have to put in your TRN number and password. If you are using an agent you will have to ask them to give you these details though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikkiwd Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Today we had a surprise email, our visas have been granted :jiggy: we never heard from our case officer and I was thinking I would at least be asked to do form 80 but no...VISA GRANTED! good luck to those still waiting. It turns out we were allocated to Adelaide team 2 by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It turns out we were allocated to Adelaide team 2 by the way. Wow congratulations!!! Fingers crossed we might be in the same boat too soon. We heard back from our agents yesterday that our case worker is now ready for our police checks (after nearly 7 weeks of hearing nowt), medicals, and bloody form 80s (booooooooo). We've got the medicals booked for Monday and I'm posting the ACRO stuff in the morning, so do you know how long it takes to get the police checks back? I'm presuming that the medical examiner will send everything electronically because the clinic is registered for that service. Can't wait to get it all sorted! I'm sat on a deckchair in an empty living room ready to move out the house tomorrow, so it's all go, ha ha! Thanks in advance if anyone can advise on the time for the police checks to come back :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikkiwd Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 rickandange, our police checks took around 2 weeks to come back. we werent using an agent so did medicals and pcc's before we got allocated a case officer, i was expecting to be asked for form 80 (almost did it anyway but changed my mind when i saw it!!) but never got contacted at all, they must have been satisfied we had attached enough evidence. we arent going out until may so got a bit of time to sort stuff out. good luck x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if the CO has actually asked for the form 80s, or if our agent is getting us to do one each just in case - either way we've got to fill them in (all 18 pages of it) :dull:! We're only going out next June we think (providing we get a visa that is), so we've got a bit of time too. Well done again getting yours in the bag though.

DonnaC Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 We had our visa granted today so unbelievably chuffed. and for those of you who have heared that team 4 are really slow, thats who we had, and Im very pleased with their turn around time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samulv Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Congratulations! We have submitted all our evidence now and we are still waiting. We have Adelaide team 8. We have heard they are very slow but our case officer was replying to my agents emails quickly so hoping she isn't slow! How long after you submitted additional evidence did u get the grant?

DonnaC Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 its only been about 2-3 weeks, so i didnt think they were slow at all. i was told team 4, who i had, were slow, well if thats slow then who knows what the rest are like our biggest issue was that pauls medical was 'missing' for the best part of a week, then suddenly we get the e mail saying visa granted, when I was expecting an e mail saying Paul had to redo his medical. so chuffed. still cant believe it. now paul gets to tell his folks.....ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonnaC Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 Well I did think he should have told them sooner, but they made it very diff for his sister when she told them she was emigrating (shes since returned, and regrets it soooo much) but like I said to Paul, they wont spoil it for us. we dont see them enough for how they feel to make a diff (sounds harsh i know) and Im very stubborn, so will only do what I want to do anyway. my sister in law didnt have a party, which is something my niece wanted because it would upset her mam to much. i understand taking other peoples opinions on board, but not at the detriment to other family members.

Yesterday I received a mail from team 4 asking me more evidence of employment and form 80 for me n my wife. Regarding my experience I will provide bank statement. But I am facing problem regarding form 80. I am sharing my problems with you and it will be highly appreciated if you help me by giving your valuable suggestions. firstly, it is recommended to use a pen and write. If I write with a pen then I will have to scan all these 36 pages (2 forms- mine n my wife's) and then have to send it. my question is can I type it and send it or not? Secondly, should I have answer all the questions like question no 20 where I have to mention address of Australia? I got SS from WA, can I give South Australia's address? Then, how will I send these documents - by mail or by attaching in my evisa page? I am badly in need your kind response. Thanks and regards rashedul56 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phani emani Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Dear Samulv, Just wanted to know my lawyer said we can only contact case officer evey 4 weeks. He tried contacting her once but she never replied now he says I have to wait till 26th of october to contact again. my team is 4 case officer lyndal. as you can see in my signature i applied before maimenon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjmfl Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Question 1) you can type in the Adobe Acrobat, and print them, then sign at the required box with your name and your wife's name; Question 2) if you havent ever been to australia, or you dont have a plan on your hand, you can leave it blank. that is my thought. good luck.

nikkiwd Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 rashedul56, cant comment on the individual questions on form 80 but once you have done it attach it to your evisa page, dont post it. If any questions are not applicable to you then leave blank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
