Vanduex Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 No expert but shouldn't they say 'received'? What date did you send the PCC and Meds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucerad Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I would get onto your migration agent and ask them for an update, you're paying them to do a job, they should be doing it! We had an application in 2011 that was NEVER checked, it turned out our case officer went off on 'personal leave' for EIGHT MONTHS, and no one picked up our file... honestly it was a disaster! We ended up submitting an official complaint to the ombudsman and we were refunded all the money we spent. It's a really long story, but the moral of it, KEEP CHASING, you don't want to fall by the wayside! An email from your agent to immigration could push your file back to the top and get that all important grant email!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kellie23 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 No expert but shouldn't they say 'received'? What date did you send the PCC and Meds? That's what I would of thought! We had meds on 1st march and I had a letter from hospital saying they were uploaded to diac on the 8th march. The police checks were back before that too. So I don't bloody know what's going on!

If I have not heard anything by Thursday morning I'm going to email my agent and say can they send an email asking what's going on? It's bad when we have spent so much money and done everything they have asked and it appears it's been forgotten about!

Kellie23 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 whats your plans kellie? Hey Shazza well we have sold our house, got survey being done on Thursday.

Kellie23 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 You have the same team? Do you think we do? Or know we do? We are Adelaide team 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooky Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I think it depends on the team. I think we we're lucky to get team 4 - they seem pretty quick. Our meds were uploaded on 10th march and we got visa on the 12th but I think most wait longer. My agent said it would be about a month so I think maybe it is more the norm to be longer. Kellie :hug: Big hugs the wait is horrible for you especially as you have sold and are ready to go. Contact your agent tomorrow and get some reassurance x coolbreeze hope yours comes soon too. Did you do form 80? I am wondering if maybe that makes it take longer as they have to then pass all the info. No one asked for it from us! Good luck everyone.

Was wondering. Adelaide Team 8 is the notoriously slow one tho right? Think someone posted that a few weeks back? We didn't do form 80 either. Plus my agent said 3 weeks form all docs being loaded is very normal. Therefore I wouldn't worry, it is a pain in the butt, however it is not a panic.

Ok so 3 weeks from the last bit would be from 8th march really so should give it until the 29th before I completely burst! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanduex Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Yeah I don't think you are in the worry zone yet. It is annoying when some people just speed through but there are equally (if not more) people who have to wait that little bit longer. You will be sitting in departures soon enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooky Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I think vandeux is right Kellie my agent said 'within a month' so I was really shocked to be so quick. I think though it is (unfortunately) luck of the draw as to who gets what team and some are just quicker than others. Hope you hear soon x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mehman Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Kellie, We are in the same boat here. Got our CO assigned in the last week of January. Needed PCCs from 3 countries so that took a while. Got our meds done on the 12th of last month, but the website still shows requested. Anyway, our agent also told us it takes about 3 weeks from the time you send them all the docs. I'm just trying to be patient at this point in time, but to be honest, I'm not calm on the inside. I can't wait to be done with this process. We first started thinking about Oz way back in September 2011. Its been 16 months since and the process is really tiring mentally. All the best!

Kellie23 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Still nothing this morning. Still says requested!! Just keeping you all informed. Coolbreeze anything? Mehman anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanduex Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 That sucks for you both. Just focus on the day and check again tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmac Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Still nothing this morning. Still says requested!! Just keeping you all informed. Coolbreeze anything? Mehman anything? Maybe your CO is on annual leave or something as simple as that. Can only sympathise about how hard the waiting is x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mehman Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 If the website has this 'No health examinations are required for this person for this visa subclass based on the information provided to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection' against your application, then they have received your medical reports. At this point it all boils down to the CO wrapping up the application I believe. As someone else mentioned, 3 weeks is the norm for most people to get their PR after they submit all their documents, as per my agent.

So if this is right they def have everything and we are literally waiting on CO putting me out of this miserable waiting game ahhhhhhhhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mehman Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 (edited) Yeah Kellie, I've seen this information on other forums as well. Also, my agent, whom I trust, assured me that its a roundabout way of the DIAC telling us that its been received. I've decided to stop worrying now. haha, nothing more we can do once we've done everything! :biggrin: Edited March 19, 2014 by mehman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanduex Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Sounds promising. It is summer out there, probably has beach parties and bbqs to attend. You will just have to wait . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
