shellyk666 Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Hi Shelly,After all that worry yesterday and our chat......we got a direct grant today aswell.!! I can't believe it......see you in Perth.!! xxx After our chat yesterday - now that's just weird! lol Many many congratulations :-D It's easy to tell yourself after the event that you were worrying over nothing but it's horrible at the time. I'm so pleased that's it's over for you, such a relief! When are you heading to Perth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisatoOz Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Congratulations to everyone who got grants today, they seem to be flying out now! We lodged on 26th June and were allocated a CO last week. They have requested more evidence on my husband's employment history - bank statements, wage slips etc. The trouble is, my husband has had so many plumbing jobs in the last 8 years, due to firms going under, that we had a lot of evidence to submit. Now our Immi account won't let us upload any more, and says 'maximum number of files reached'. My husband has e-mailed the case officer (Adelaide team 8), but as yet has had no response. I've seen other threads on this site where people have had no response for 2 weeks, and I'm starting to panic!! I just wondered if there was anyone who'd been in a similar position, or knew of another way of getting the info to the case officer. We don't have a telephone number, but are thinking of just uploading all the documents in an e-mail, but are worried they won't accept this. Any advice???? In one of my letters from the case officer in Adelaide it stated that you can just e-mail documents as attachments if there's a problem doing it online (I've pasted the wording below), so I'm sure that would be fine if you tell them why. Contacting GSM Adelaide To provide additional documents to GSM Adelaide please attach the documents online via link www.immi.gov.au/e_visa/general-skilled-migration-attachments.htm. In the event of an error with the online link, please email the documents as scanned attachments to the adelaide.gsm.team2@immi.gov.au. GSM Adelaide accepts scanned copies. If possible, please provide colour scanned copies of original documents. If you are unable to colour scan documents, please ensure that the documents you scan are certified copies. If you send us a scan of the original document, we can accept PDF, JPEG, TIFF or BMP file formats, although we prefer that it be in PDF format. You can email the documents as scanned attachments to adelaide.gsm.team2@immi.gov.au. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Roberto Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Hi all. Apologies for being slightly off-topic and asking for advice - but seeing as all of you on this thread are ahead of us, I thought i'd try asking. We have been invited to apply forour visa this week. I just logged into the skillselect page, and after I click 'apply visa' it then asks me to log in again, but it seems to not like the username and password i give it. I am entering the same username and password I gave for the EOI. Is this wrong? Does anyone remeber what you are supposed to eneter for usrrname? should it be a long thing starting E000**** or an email address? Any info much appreciated.

Matthew When you click "apply visa", the next step is the immi account screen. IF you dont already have one click on " Create an ImmiAccount ". That is where you will set your username and password.

dangargoyle Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Still waiting and waiting... I think ours is going to break the record for the longest wait for a 189 Visa on this forum... By Saturday 13th September, 2014, it will be officially and exactly 1 year (12 Months ) since I lodged my 189 Family visa... Been really eager and excited about this whole thing but my hopes are starting to fade away really fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mss78 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 CO asked for Meds ..... PCC is already submitted. 1) How much time it takes for Med Center to send the report to DIBP and how much time usually CO takes to complete the review and issue a visa grant letter 2) How much time is allowed to enter into Australia ........... like say a 1 year from PCC date or Med date or some other criteria ....... pls help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangargoyle Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Any ideas what has caused such a delay? Not sure. Last week, I made contact with my CO and was told that the application is still undergoing mandatory checks. Seems we are in the same boat with at least 2 other Kenyan applicants. Though, I thought that Meds/PCC are always requested when mandatory checks are over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSB Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone might be able to advise on the wait time (from the time a CO is allocated to the time a grant is received), after submitting the meds & police clearances.
