kbounds Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 team 4 adelaide. the immi agent was very nice and said "im going to put you through to your case officer so you can have a chat with him as i see your meds are finalised etc" so....he put me through but no answer so i left a message then a few hours later i get an email saying that he isn't going to look at further docs he requsted until after the 28 days have expired. not sure why but never mind, my agent said that CO will know we are already in oz as it is all to do with passports etc so we are just going to enjoy ourselves a little and hopefully when we least expect it we will get our golden email.

I hope mine doesn't do that! We have 35 days before we will not be able to get there for Christmas. Hoping not to cut it too fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to give 4 weeks notice at work and to fly in the 17 th December that is the date we would need to hand our notices in. Don't wanna travel any closer to Christmas for my daughters sake. We have team 8 adelaide. I have heard they are slow but I'm hoping that's just people speculating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Tasneem.....I applied through an agent...No our agent did not get in touch with CO at all and our grant came to us directly as soon as we cleared our medicals...we did not even know we had a CO until end of 6 weeks....we only received just 1 email from our CO saying that our case is being handled by him/her. India too falls under high risk country but we do not go through external checks until unless we have lived/traveled to other high risk countries...your case might be delayed due to your external checks.....by the way have you cleared your medicals?

Hi Tasneem....your agent must have given you your evisa log in details...if you have the details then log in to your account and under name DIAC will mention 'that no medicals are required for this person based on the information provided to DIAC'. If this message appears then you have cleared your medicals and if the link to your organize your medicals still exists even after you have given your medicals then it means that your medicals have been referred.....hope this helps.... Your agent should share all the details with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sady Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 You need your HAP ID to book medicals from your evisa link organise your medicals. You need one for each applicant Hi Samulv, Thanks for info, what is HAP ID and how do u get it? I have filed the case on 28th Aug and then have slowly uploaded the documents I could except PCC and Medicals.. I have filled in forms form 26 & 160 for all applicants but HAP ID is something new for me. Shall i proceed with medicals or wait for CO .. Its already been more than 7 weeks and no news.. Thinking to schedule medical by end of this month in either case ... Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking to schedule medical by end of this month in either case ... Any suggestions? On your evisa page there is a link that says organise your health examination underneath each applicant. When u click on it there is a health questionnaire to fill out. Once this is done it gives you a referral letter. On the top of the letter is a HAP ID. you need to do this for each individual person on your application including children. Whether or not you do them before waiting for CO is up to you. The date you have to enter Australia is based on the dates of your medical and your PCC. we did ours before CO because we are leaving as soon as we get the visa. If you want time it is best to wait for CO. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great news on the police checks. I was told if diac don't receive the medical you should upload the receipt and they will chase it. No visa yet. CO requested more employment evidence for my husband and we sent it the same day. We have adelaide team 8 and on all the forums they say they are the slowest to grant! Just my luck! A few people on other forums are not in any rush - some not landing until the day they have to and we get the slow team! Christmas is looking more and more out of reach. :sad: Which team are you with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachel summers Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 eeeeeek is this actually happening!! cant believe its finally happening to us!!it all started, for me 10 years ago with a WHV to aus, its taken me such a long time to get my boyf to aus, then a trip 2 yrs ago had him as in love as me!! Started the whole visa process on Oct 10th 2012 (my sisters 30th birthday and 3 months after finding out my best mate had breast cancer and me deciding life was WAYYYYY to short to waste wondering what if) a migration agent (who is amazing) 3 IELTS tests, many worried moments and telling some family and friends and its getting soooo much closer!! so Much has happened in the past yr, and im sooooo luck that my family are, in general, only telling me positive and happy thoughts for me!!! Looking forward to hearing your stories!!!! Donna, Paul (& Bailey the Springer Spaniel!!) :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin: Aww wow life is to short, and u dont want to have have regrets, even if after a couple of years you cone bk at least you have tried it and lived abit, we are in exactly the same boat, my hubby passed is IELTS awhile ago now and passed his skills test in sept, just got the results in the post that all passes, were doing ours our self tho, not sure how long it will take for our visas to get granted were applying for 190 visa for wa, will we need to get family/friends ref also? were married with 2children? also quick question about bailey are u taking him with you? we have our adorable cockapoo buster who we did plan to take with us straight away but think we are going to wait until we get settled makesure we love it b4 we pay all that money to ship him over, he will stay with my mum, we are going for a hol on 8th nov its all exciting isnt it x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachel summers Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 also can u book ur medicals now?? or do we wait until we get told to? thanks x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samulv Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) also can u book ur medicals now?? or do we wait until we get told to? thanks x Hi Rachel Booking your meds depends on how long you want to validate your visa. The date for validation depends on your meds and PCC date. If u want plenty of time after your grant before you have to enter Australia then wait for your CO. if you want your grant ASAP then get them done before CO asks for them. All depends on what you want with regards to timescale. I want to be there by Xmas so I did mine before they were requested. Some people want as long as possible after grant to sort things out so they wait. Totally up to you! Hope this helps!
