nursesam Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Hi guys! Got the grant this morning!!!!! Sooo pleased and amazed how quick and easy it was!!! Took 8 weeks and 2 days from date of lodgement! Must mention, we had our medicals last Thursday and the doctor said results would be through Tuesday or Wednesday. So I checked yesterday evening on e medical client and they said completed. So I emailed my CO to politely say the medicals had been submitted etc etc and next thing you know we have a lovely grant email this morning!!! I would definitely recommend emailing your CO when any outstanding documents are submitted as you don't know how often they check your account and that might be all they're waiting for!!! Good luck all, hope we get some more grants out there soon xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nursesam Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Thank you :-) I know, so fast! The lonest wait was anmac but overall it's been a speedy process. Done it all on my own (I say on my own - my husband is coming but has been useless with it all haha!) No agents used! To be honest the whole thing has been really easy. Thr hardest bit was getting all the documents for anmac and ahpra but once that was done it was fine! Visas were the easiest bit! I used sydney office - send with airsure/special delivery with royal mail so it gets there quicker and safer. They were very quick just triple check your application and make sure you dont miss anything out! It's mostly the same as anmac except for your cv though.

RobRedpath Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Bad news for me, my medical has been cleared but my partners medical has been referred, looking like im in for a long wait, im only on a toursit visa at the moment over here in oz. not wanting to wait a couple months before i can start work so i think im going to hop over to NZ to apply for a working holiday visa then re-enter. more money. more problems.

DianaK Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 It looks like most of the people with referred medicals got their visas only a day after they cleared the medical and submitted to the CO. It might be sooner for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolbreeze Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 What is the deal with 'referred' medicals. Is this a process they do every x number? Or, is this something they do when there is an issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobRedpath Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 My partner had one of her kidneys removed this year, it's an administrator who looks at the visa's and they need to forward any cases to the MOC if they need them to be looked over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dusterio Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Congratulations ;-)) I'm still waiting for DIAC's decision regarding my Indian PCC, its absence in particular. I used to live in India for a couple of years, and it's nearly impossible to get an Indian PCC, especially if you are already outside the country.

RobRedpath Posted February 6, 2014 Author Share Posted February 6, 2014 Think i am one of the last ones..... I have just spent the last 3 days in New Zealand, on way back to Sydney now. Had to leave Australia in order to get a WHV. At least i can start working now hopefully my case will be resolved in the next few weeks.

Had to leave Australia in order to get a WHV. At least i can start working now hopefully my case will be resolved in the next few weeks. I hope it will turn out allright for your case. From other posts i've read so far is as long as its proven that the condition is manageable and not exced certain amount (in terms of treatment) , hopefully the assessment will come positive.

RobRedpath Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 Am I right in thinking my 189 will override my working holiday visa? I'm living in Sydney at the moment and don't fancy leaving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
