CNC FABS Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Trying to work out how long it is taking from the c/o to grant, for 189 offshore. I'm using an agent (don't know if this helps speed things up) they tell me it's 8-9 weeks. That would put me at Christmas.....I take it things slow down in Oz during January (summer hols and all).

Ours was on shore (I know you're after offshore) and it was 1 week from CO allocation to grant. We pre-loaded medicals, police checks, forms 80 and 1221...

I applied the same day as you. So its 8 weeks on Wednesday. I too have done medical and pre loaded PCC. Fingers crossed for direct grants for us both, that would be amazing and a dream finally come true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed for direct grants for us both, that would be amazing and a dream finally come true. Yes I sent mega loads of stuff to the agent, even though only claiming 3 years work history to get the 60 points. So hoping for a direct grant also. Although that will mean never knowing about case officer, but as using an agent, not really in touch with the on line system anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed for direct grants for us both, that would be amazing and a dream finally come true. I applied on 31/8 a few days after ye. Just looking at direct grants this week 2 of them were on day 59 and one on day 62 - they are the quickest grants. So we still have a few days maybe end of the week beginning of next week. Today you are on day 54:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
