Vanduex Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Yeah I can understand that!! Pretty intense waiting period. You could do it all and get it all loaded up if you wanted to. No harm in it Hoping to move at a similar time but all depends on the job hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No harm in it Hoping to move at a similar time but all depends on the job hunt. Cheers for the reply.I really need to speak to the agent tomorrow. Clarify a few things. I'd rather they were booked and organised. Then wait, the long wait for the CO. Agent, if I had my way, would have had marching orders by now...

Watters31 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I just got my grant!!!!! Im so happy, Im not going to be able to sleep now!! It was the first correspondence and I guess the last from my CO. I didn't think it would be that straight forward. I got invited and lodged my application on 13th Jan. Uploaded all documents and had the medical within 2 weeks. Granted the visa bang on 4 weeks. I wish you all the best of luck and hope you all get CO's soon.... Woo hoo sunshine here I come!!!!!!

Watters31 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Yeah it is the 189. So hopefully you will hear soon too. My medical was sent to DIAC on 22nd Jan. I don't know if it made any difference to when or how you get allocated a CO, but it was really easy for me to prove all my points and character. I only uploaded about 10 documents and forms and It's only me on the visa..... None of my documents changed to received before i was granted the visa, unless this happened in half a day and I didn't see it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chami Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Did you upload form 80 too? I wonder if I need to do that too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watters31 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Yep, I was just waiting, so did it just in case......after i uploaded it, a link appeared asking me to complete it. I had already done it so ignored it. It's on the document check list so I would just do it, nothing to loose! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolbreeze Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Just been appointed a CO. They have requested the following info from me - Medicals - Form 80 (This is now a MUST apparently) - PCC from Thailand - Further proof of my overseas employment ( Bank Statements / Pay Slips or Taxation Docs) to cover at least a THREE year period Seeing as Meds are booked for next week and Thai PCC is being ordered then too - should be looking for a grant in a month or two...yay!!

cherrygn Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Just uploaded my last document (form 80), hoping for a direct grant too. @Vanduex, have you heard anything from your agent yet? @Coolbreeze congratulation!!!!

cherrygn Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Wonder what's the chance for direct grant...finger crossed:wub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chami Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Congrats coolbreeze!!! What proof did you upload as employment proof? I uploaded only employment letters as I lived in so many places and so difficult to show payslips and bankstatements (some accounts closed etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolbreeze Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Congrats coolbreeze!!! What proof did you upload as employment proof? I uploaded only employment letters as I lived in so many places and so difficult to show payslips and bank statements (some accounts closed etc) I had statements of employment to cover last 5 years. However, they also want the additional proof for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great news for you mate!! It has filled us with hope which is a dangerous thing. We will just have to wait and see what comes I suppose. But lets sit and wait in hope!!! I have already sent my P60s for all 8 years of experience. Should help. Form 80 looks bloody awful. I have it sitting next to me and I think I will sit and plough through it. Forms and forms I guess. It is quality news for you though and keep us updated on how you get in with it all!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
