Jasky Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Hi all Firstly thanks to all for the invaluable advice on this forum - I referred to it on a daily basis when preparing my application for a 189 visa, which I submitted on 16 December. I wanted to clarify how the ImmiAccount system works (specifically the way that submitted applications are displayed) as I think my application would have been one of the first to be submitted under this. After submitting the application, I uploaded all the documents I think will be needed. However, next to each 'type of evidence' on the application screen, there is still a status of 'required'. I'm assuming this is just the way the system displays the status before a CO is allocated as I can also see (in a separate list) each file I have uploaded. Also, the overall status of the application is still 'in progress' rather than 'submitted' or 'being processed' or anything like that... if someone could confirm that this is normal I'd be grateful, as I'm developing an unhealthy obsession of checking it every 5 minutes to see if anything has changed! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Grey Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Hi Jasky, Absolutely normal and nothing to worry about. The 'required' status will change once a case officer reviews it, so ignore until that time. 'In progress' is the normal status. All the best, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DianaK Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I have just submitted my 189 application and created Immi account. Before uploading the attachments, there were "Required" and "Recommended" next to each type of evidence. After uploading the attachments, all changed to "Required", which confirms what you are referring to. I have also submitted "My health declaration" before the application and did our medicals in advance so we can upload the medicals as well. As a result, in the Immi account I have two separate files: the visa application with status "In progress" and the health declaration with status "Submitted". I presume that it is normal for the visa application to be "In progress", may be until visa is granted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiveAGirlShoes Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Hi Diana Have you found that doing the medicals in advance has given you any peace of mind (one less thing to take care of kinda thing)? My EOI is a LONG way off, let alone Visa App BUT I read a couple of days ago that you can do you medicals in advance, although I haven't checked it out 100% yet xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DianaK Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Yes, definitely. We have done it on 19 Dec and meanwhile we have arranged our police certificates. When we submitted the health declaration, we got a letter stating that we need X-Ray, blood work and urine sample. On the day we completed the medicals, the doctor told us that they are all normal and they were submitted the next day to DIBP. I have attached the letters to the application and currently we are waiting for the police certificate from Canada as it takes at least 3 weeks to get it. I am not concerned about the one year from the date of the medicals/police clearance condition as we will most probably go on a validation trip first anyways.

Jasky Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Adam - thanks for the clarification, much appreciated. Diana, I also did the medicals in advance but do not have two separate ImmiAccount files. I have uploaded the referral letter showing all the checks as cleared and the note that the results have been submitted to DIBP. Am I supposed to be able to link this to the application some other way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DianaK Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Jasky, I remember that I linked my health declaration TRN Number to my Immi account through the "Import Appllication" function as I created the Immi account after I had submitted My health declaration. I also uploaded the Referral Letter first but then I noticed that after the medical clinic uploaded it on DIBP system, the letter actually changed and it had our digital picture, the required exams were marked as completed and the following instruction : Your eMedical case has been submitted to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP). This letter outlines the immigration health examinations that you have completed. If you are required to complete further health examinations, you will be notified by DIBP once a Medical Officer has considered your case. For further information on DIBP's health assessment process, please see our website at: http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/ health-requirements/assessment-health-exam-results.htm Note: • Any further queries about your visa application and/or your health examination results should be directed to your visa officer. Staff at a panel clinic will not be able to help you with these queries. • If you have not yet lodged a visa application, you must provide the health identifier on the top of this letter (i.e. HAP ID) to DIBP. It is recommended that you also submit this letter together with your application form when it is lodged. Please make sure that you attach this letter to your visa application before submitting the form to DIBP. This will facilitate processing of your visa application. I guess, you have received the same letter. Have you heard back from them or has something changed on your visa application in regards to your health examination?

Jasky Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Sounds like we're in the same boat - I originally uploaded my referral letter but then saw that it had changed with the same info you quoted above when I looked in 'my health declarations' - so I uploaded the new letter as well. I gave my HAP ID when I submitted the application so hopefully it's linked - I haven't ever seen a 'organise health checks' link that other people have been referring to. I probably don't see two separate links in ImmiAccount like you as I applied after ImmiAccount was already set up. Good luck, interested to see if you have any developments!

DianaK Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Yes, sounds exactly the same. You can import the health file to your Immi account if you would like to see it there but I doubt we will need it in the future. I will let you know if I have any further development.

JMG79 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Hi, I wouldn't worry about the status changes on you application, we submited ours in September there was no change until November in the status, then status's changed weekly on some docs, and almost daily on the medicals, my stress levels want through the roof!! as long as everything has been submited , I wouldn't worry about it, if a case officer needs anything they will e-mail you.

lordalam Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Hi All, Thanks for sharing all of your status. I have lodged my visa application on 16th December and waiting for CO to be allocated. I haven't go for medical check up and police clearance and waiting for CO advise. The reason I cannot get police clearance now is Singapore Police required evidence that DIBP have requested for it. Without this evidence, I could not apply for a clearance Cert. Keep posting here. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alavington Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Hi guys, I applied (paid) for the 100/309 visa on the ImmiAccount, but I've hit a bit of a wall... This may seem like a very stupid question, but can all documents be uploaded - i.e the certified ones? There's also a 'required' marker next to a passport photo, and it says that you need to write the name of the preson on the back and date it....so that surely means that has to be posted? Sorry, just a bit confused about it all, and I can't find anything on the website to explain! Many thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewi Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 For the photo I just upload a digital photo for me and each of my boys. I dont think you need to send by post. But others may give further insight. Hi guys, I applied (paid) for the 100/309 visa on the ImmiAccount, but I've hit a bit of a wall...
