bmap Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Lodged on the 4th of dec.. Still no update.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GarySawers Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Yeah I'm the same, allegedly it takes seven weeks! But I think Christmas might effect this for a couple of weeks also! So hopefully around the first week in February should hear back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmap Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Got a reply on my thread saying a CO was assigned to a person today.. For an application which was lodged on the 8th of Nov.. http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=201974 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GarySawers Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 That's excellent news, that means we should hear roughly end of January first week of February?!?! Delighted with that! You should be pretty similar timescale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyB Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Hi! I'm joining the Dec'13 gang. I lodged my application at the end of December.:cool: Have you done your medicals yet or do you plan to wait for CO's instructions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmap Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 There should be a emedical form that should be there in the immi ac. You don't need to wait for a CO to do your medicals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GarySawers Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Hi LadyB! We spoke to our lawyer today regarding this, it isn't recommended as your visa basically begins when you complete your medical so your advised to do this last. However, if you consider your particular visa to be simple enough to have a positive outcome and time isn't a problem then it should be fine!

LadyB Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Hi, Gary! Yes, I think our visa is quite simple, but will probably wait for CO. Anyway, status of my submitted documents has changed on 6/1 from "required" to "received" except for IELTS results. I have no clue why that exemption. Yesterday I submitted more proof of de facto (in case children's birth certificates with my and my partner's names on them are not enough) and form 1221 for my partner. The form was only "recommended" but we sent it anyway. I believe it cannot hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GarySawers Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 We didn't have anything like a child's birth certificate, so had to go down the route of picture together and joint insurance documents, was a bit of a nightmare! Can't really comment on the status updates as we have a lawyer who does all that for us and basically tells us what to do and when to do it!?!?

jellybean17 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Hi all! Lodged mine on 06 December. Any updates from you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GarySawers Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Still not heard from a case officer! but went ahead and booking an Aussie police check! British police check! medicals and booked a white card assessment aswell! So busy with all that anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuciBV Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Joining the gang as well, submitted on 6th of December, status of the documents from required to received on 6th of January... Waiting is killing me... Meds done on 17th of December, though they were not send electronically, but on paper (separate application). As much as I read, on 190 visa you may be forced to activate your visa from the date that you got the sponsorship. Correct me if I'm wrong, please. Just police checks left, arranging for next week to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordalam Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Hi all!, I am joining in this Group. I lodged Visa for WA on 16th Dec. Have not allocate CO. Booked for medical on 29th January. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zayn83 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Hi all, We also applied for 190 visa with SA sponsorship on the 4th of December. We have submitted all docs including medicals and 1221. We have filled in the form 80 but not yet uploaded. Thinking we should wait to see if CO requests it. Anyone gotten a CO yet?. We are waiting anxiously :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellybean17 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Waiting anxiously as well! Frontloaded everything including form 80 and 1221. Meds and police clearances are up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GarySawers Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Ok, so we got our medicals booked and do them on Wednesday!

Our lawyer also been contacted by our case officer so that's great news! Unfortunately we been told we have a deadline that is on the 15th of February?!?!? Don't reckon we have enough time to have received our Aussie police checks back by then! Anyone know what this means?.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi GarySawyers, I think it's fine to ask for extension from the CO, just tell him your predicament. Where is your SS from?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GarySawers Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Hi Jellybean, we already been granted our state sponsorship with WA, so this just the final stumbling block, so to speak! Made another thread and by the sounds of things if you prove you have applied for a police check you will be granted an extension and once you receive your results you just forward the to the CO. should hopefully be fairly plain sailing now!!!
