Alonsd Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Hi all, I can't seem to find a April 189 group so I thought I would start one. I'm no expert in the visa application process and I'm new to this site, so any help, suggestions, advice and general comments are very welcome and I hope all your visa applications run smooth. andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alonsd Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Also anyone who has previously submitted visa please share your wisdom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prasanth4immi Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Hi Alonsd, I am also planning to file the visa shortly. I got an invite last month. Could you please tell me which all docs need to be uploaded and when to be uploaded? As of no, I can see only the details to be filled in in the immi account, no details of attachment yet. Also I would like to know when to do the payment, can I do it from debit card also ? Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alonsd Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 Hi, like I said I'm no expert but I do know you can only upload your docs once you have completed the 17 page online form and paid for the visa. Once this is done there will be a button that allows you to attach docs. you can pay for it with debit card as far as i am aware. the docs we have submitted are: passports qualifications with transcripts skills assessments IELTS results birth certs medicals we are currently waiting on our PCC and I think you also have to complete a form 80 but not sure about that.

Alonsd Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 Only one more hungry night! It's payday tomorrow. I can feed the family again, until flights and freight need to be paid for... Hopefully it will all be worth it in a month or so it seems like people who submitted their visa applications on March started getting grants today. Who knows we may have that elusive grant letter by the end of May... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it takes around 8 weeks for approval but the timeframe differs from the various assessing authorities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you looked for a thread specific to 2611-ICT Business and Systems Analysts application? I know that you do get migration experts on here so one of them would be your best form of help.

Specialist report currently being drafted for existing medical condition - booking medicals in the next week or so. Good luck everyone! Hope all goes well with your medicals. Have you had any contact from a CO yet? it's 4 weeks tomorrow for us and still no contact but we have only just uploaded our PPC today. Hopefully thats all documentation complete now...

Lizzywills Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Thanks! Our agent hasn't advised we have a CO yet, apparently tho the CO's have 2 weeks to let you know they have started on your case, so we could have one...just not know yet. We also sent through Form 80 to our agent this morning. So it's just medicals now. Good luck to you too Alonsd (ps you are only down the road in St Helens - we're in Warrington LOL!

foo Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 We also submitted our application in April. We've had our medicals and are just waiting on our police checks now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doudoustlu Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Hi we also submitted our application in April the 29th. We've upfront loaded all the documentation included PCC and medics. Hope it's gonna go quicker that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This forum is a small world...!!) Yeah small old world, we actually live in Newton-Le-Willows so even closer! Are you having your medicals at Bridgewater hospital Manchester? We had ours there and they were very good. We also got our CO this morning Brisbane team 33. They asked for a form 80 which we hadn't done so got that to look forward to this weekend. Looks like things could be moving forward for all the April bunch now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzywills Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Yes!! We are planning to see Dr Million at Bridgewater, I've heard they're really nice there, hope so as we have a 2 year old, a 6 year old and a 9 year old....thanks for the reassurance....wow great news about your CO, so it looks like things are definitely on now!

alexshel Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 (edited) Lizzywills, how could you upload your medicals on 22/5/14 if today it is still 21/5/14 ? Edited May 21, 2014 by alexshel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizzywills Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 By 22/5/14 I mean that is when the medicals are booked for...and by 'all documents uploaded' I mean all the other things like Form 80 etc. The medicals are the only thing outstanding I will change my signature so it is not confusing....

OziBoy Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Hello All, We also lodged our application in late April. I saw in another thread people from May are getting COs, I have a feeling the more documents we frontload the later we will get to know our CO. We might have all been allocated COs and we just do not know it yet. Good Luck to you All. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzywills Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Yes, some ppl who front load only hear something when they get their visa grant! So likely we all have CO's by now and they're just cracking on with it. We may only hear from them if there's something outstanding (or in our case not at all, they will liaise with our agent in Sydney!) Wish every one of you in the April gang swift success Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doudoustlu Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Where have you seen people from may getting COs? That's interesting, hope it's gonna be our case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godisgreat4all Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Hi, I stayed for 3 years in Canada(for work) and rest of my life in India. So do I need to get the police clearance from Canada and India both? Please share your opinion :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
