dangargoyle Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Hey All, When the CO asks for Meds/PCC does it usually mean that External/Internal checks are over? Regards, D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godisgreat4all Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Congrats!. Can you elaborate the details you had to share with them to get it approved? I remember you mentioned you had received note saying insufficient information regarding few job related info. Sorry for the delay, I resent the declaration letters for the 2 previous organizations for which they mentioned " not assessed". I made sure to keep the notary date and signature date and place same. That is it. I have submitted my EOI with 60 points on 4th July now waiting to get the invitation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbouk Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Wahoooo, got my GRANT decision. Now please excuse my ignorance, but I have two important dates on the form: Must Make First Entry to Australia Before 19 June 2015 and Must Not Arrive After 01 July 2019 Is the Must Make First Entry to Australia Before, simply an arrive for either a holiday, explore an area visit or is it for the permanent stay? I would prefer to secure a job offer before I make the perm move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godisgreat4all Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 After how many days of the invitation round we come to know whether I get the invitation or not? I have submitted for the EOI on 4th July and the first invitation date was today 14th July. So I was selected in this round then by when I should come to know that?

mwn123 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Hello, I have just got invitation for 189 visa. At the same time I am little bit confused about my point claims. As per SkillSelect my EOI point breakdown is as follows Age: 30, English: 10, Education: 15, Experience: 10 (TOTAL: 65) I claimed points for research assistantship (RA) during my masters study which added 5 points. Apart from this I have 3 years experience which is assessed by EA. My confusion is 1. If I lodge visa and provide all documents of RA, will it be considered as an experience? (I heard somewhere that RA is not considered as experience) 2. If they don't consider it, I still have 60 points. Will they issue visa based on that? I am now thinking if I made any mistake including RA as an experience. I am confused if I should lodge visa or not, as I will lose the visa fees if it is refused I am eagerly waiting for your cooperation. Please provide your expert opinions. Thanks mwn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HassanAltaf Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) I have been looking at this thread ever since this was created. Just wanted to update everyone on my timeline. EOI 10/04/2014 ; Application lodged 06/05/2014 ; CO first contact 15/07/2014 requesting Form 80 and Medical. I had already booked medical in Maidenhead for Friday 18/07/2014 so I am going ahead with the medical this week and going to send Form 80 to my agents. I have to say this was a long wait just to hear something from CO. So I guess everyone who lodged application in first and early second week of May should be getting CO assigned in case not already got one.

JamCaz Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I am starting to feel very anxious. I did our application myself and it's now coming up to 10 weeks since we submitted it with no word at all. Please tell me there are others in the same position? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPM7 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I am starting to feel very anxious. I did our application myself and it's now coming up to 10 weeks since we submitted it with no word at all. Please tell me there are others in the same position? I'm in the same boat. I applied on the 16th of may through a MARA registered agent, and still haven't heard anything back. I was originally told by my agent that the whole process should take approximately 3 months. But now they're saying, getting a CO could take that long. I think they're just fed up of me asking questions and want me to leave them alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamCaz Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 It's comforting to know it's not just me RPM7, but I do hope it happens very soon for us both. We submitted ours on the 13 May with Medicals etc uploaded at the same time. Only thing we didn't do was Form 80. It's absolute torture!

saad1988 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Submitted mine on 2nd of May with form 80 and pcc. On June 20th asked for additional information by team 13 based on the earlier submitted form 80. Still no case officer, only received the automatic reply from Team 13 upon sending them requested info back on June 23rd. Didn't front load the medical as I had already submitted the application bt then. Also it states unless front loaded wait till the case officer requests to do the medical. Still waiting to get a case officer. Any one else been contacted by team 13? Edited July 17, 2014 by saad1988 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godisgreat4all Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I have submitted EOI on 4th of July the first round in July was on 14th of July. But still in the skill select site they have not published the result. So how long it takes to complete an invitation round and publish the result? I think I have to wait till the next round which is on 28th July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pasteypoms Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 We are in the same slow boat as you guys!

saad1988 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 I think most of the people during the may gang haven't yet received a CO, let along having a grant!... Is there any body who already got a grant after applying in May 2014? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get any earlier request by GSM Team 13 to send additional documents? Also are you applying onshore or offshore? Where are you from? Only Farah and Babun from April applicants, received email from Team 13 and they are yet to provide any update..hopefully there situation is progressing well..
