Guest Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Hi, I see there is a thread for the guys that lodged / submitted their 189 visas in September '13, so I thought I'd start one for the August 189'ers! We submitted ours on 19th August '13.... Any others in the same boat as us? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w1johnston Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Hi, Count me in on this thread please. I lodged ours at the end of August so still got a long wait to go. Good luck with your applications. W1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lakaal Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Hi there i also submitted in August on the 31st. Front loaded PCC and have Medicals for our family of 5 on Monday we are hoping to be in Melbourne by January 15th so really feelin the pressure of the wait already. Hoping recent timelines of 10 weeks to get a case officer remain. Good luck to all x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman21 Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Hi All, I have a feeling for August 2013 applicants case officers will be assigned mostly in the first week of October 2013. Do keep us all informed.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helenwestwickham Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 hi all, will join you in our wait !!! we haven't had meds or police checks waiting until end oct so we have a whole year to activate the visa ( with the possibility this may give us enough time to make the big move without the need for the activation trip ) good luck to all !!

Lakaal Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Just saw on the 189 visa lodged thread someone who lodged on 6th August got a case officer this morning that's only 7 weeks after lodging. Great ... Fingers crossed for us all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sari Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Hi All, I guess I will join the wait then :-) My timeline is: invitation: 01.07. 189 lodged: 08.08. PCC: 06.09. Med: 18.09. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james007 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I lodged 28.08, from the main 189 visa lodged gang it looks as though a CO is assigned anywhere from 5-10 weeks. Most near the latter. Then some evern over a month with the CO before grant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lakaal Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Visa for me I know where you are coming from. I am so stressed already don't know how I will make it through next few weeks. I am an inpatient person at the best of times... I submitted 31/8 just behind you so if I get case officer within 10 weeks that will be by mid November and then hopefully visa by mid dec. Medicals done and PCC done. We hope to fly out 14th January. I have taken 3 months of work to get ready to go oct/nov/dec. timeline is really tight .... The stress is going to kill me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roxybird79 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Hi everyone, The Hubby's 189 was logged on 28th Aug, checking emails daily awaiting for out C/O to be assigned. Had some bad news today our dog failed the Rabies bloods so that will have to be carried out again !! Not had police / medicals done yet as advised to wait until we are asked to have them done.

Lakaal Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Roxybird79 sorry to hear about your dog I just got Medicals and PCC done as in a rush to get there but some people do wait until case officer asks. They are valid for one year so if you don't want to go for a while best to wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNC FABS Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Lodged 28th Aug. Let the waiting begin... I have been thinkng about it all. I am male. but I think this visa lark is just like being pregnant. You do all you can, then have to wait a very long time before anything happens. but in the end you get a very nice suprise and life is good......

Guest Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 We lodged our visa 6 weeks ago now in mid-August (19th). Hoping to buck the trend and hear something from DIAC this week! A grant would be awesome! Good luck to everyone else playing the waiting game also! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
