Nomicon Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 are there anyone in this thread who has applied for the 189 with there boyfriend/girlfriend added to the visa, i'm trying to pencil in a rough timeline. Thanks Similarly, I was a dependent on my wifes visa along with our 4 children. If you are claiming points for anything as a dependent then I would expect it to possibly extend the process, however if you are along for the ride so to speak, it's fairly straight forward. IELTS - Passport - Birth Certificate - Medicals - Police Check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraborg01 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Hi, I dont know my CO because she/he never contacted me. I just know because I called and they told me that I was allocated to that team. I dont know what to expect. If I may ask why did she contact you for further documents? Team 34 here! CO initials are PM. From your signature though, you're on queu for one?if you're on the same team, would you mind giving CO initials? Mine was assigned just today. She seemed dynamic and prompt as she replied to my email within an hour it was sent. Goodluck to all of us awaiting an early Christmas surprise;)!

I just know because I called and they told me that I was allocated to that team. I dont know what to expect. If I may ask why did she contact you for further documents? Yes, she introduced herself and sent a request checklist outlining additional evidence ( health ). Told her and sent proof I had frontloaded medicals. Btw, there is a thread in PIO for GSM Team 34 Brisbane. You might want to check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest nastasia Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Sorry for ignorance but what tax document should be uploaded and for how many years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeybee Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Hello is there a need to upload tax documents also? I have uploaded work reference, contract and a payslip only for each employment I had. I had thrown away payslips/p60's over a year old, and CO wants pay evidence for all 4 years experience I'm claiming for, that's why I'm having to wait for tax/pay proof from the tax department. If you have payslips from beginning and end of all employment/experience you're claiming for then that might be enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 :mad::mad::mad: Can you believe it, my CO is asking for same documents I uploaded at the time of application submission. Last 10 days were spent just waiting for their response after uploading already attached documents upon the request of my CO, now this!!!! Another 7 working days wait after attaching this piece of document yet again! :chatterbox: I need some advice on nerve calming exercises.:cry: Any news with all you lovely people out there?

I did not upload any of mine as a few of my P60 are lost and I did not know where to begin to get hold of those. Surprisingly, my CO has not asked for them...and fingers crossed should not ask for them now!! Hope that you receive your tax documents soon.:wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have uploaded work reference, contract and a payslip only for each employment I had. Hi Nastasia, I did not upload any of my tax documents as I did not have all of them and thought to just leave it at the discretion of the CO's for when I am allocated one. My CO has not asked for them, although she asked for other documents. May be it depends on your particular case Officer's preference. Do you know the details of your CO?

Joeybee Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Got my letter from tax office today - all 40 pages of it!!!! Going to go through it later and upload the relevant bits along with uni transcript, and then wait (impatiently) for the grant :-) :-) Smitty - Hope you hear soon, I've got my fingers crossed for you. Me and Bryzee86 are debating whether to just get the plane tickets and go as soon as we've got our visa, we're getting very itchy feet now!

Good luck with that, at least that's one thing off the list for you. LOL...I am sure you guys are itchy feet now!

Hi Joeybee, Out of interest which document did you ask the tax office for? I'm in a similar position - got many payslips but not all of them - I've uploaded as many as possible, but I only have P60's for the last 3 years. Also, who did you ring?? Any help would be much appreciated thanks teacherben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, will you be informed by email when a CO is assigned or do you need to check online? Your case officer only contacts you if they need any more information from you. Some people on this forum suggest that when the attached document status changes from recommended to received...however I remain unsure. Other forum friends please shed some light on this.:unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
