dangargoyle Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 You can give a call and ask for the final status. Still waiting here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godisgreat4all Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Still waiting here! Is it some background checking which is taking so long ? 1 year is definitely too long. I wish you get your grant asap. I appreciate your patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gngaz Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Dangargoyle , its too long of waiting. Did u try to contact them by phone asking progress ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godisgreat4all Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I can see in the visa tracker https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...sharing#gid=84, there are many applicants who have not got the grant since December last year for the 189 visa. Does anyone know if most of them or any of them are still waiting for the visa or got the visa but did not update the status in the visa tracker?

dangargoyle Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) Hi gngaz. I contacted them via email a month ago and got the standard (automated) reply... mandatory checks etc.... Getting a lot of stress from this situation. Edited October 14, 2014 by dangargoyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zakon Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Congrats Zak......... was it a direct grant or you did get a CO. Also did you front loaded the documents or you did that after CO allocation? I uploaded everything beforehand. Still the CO contacted me once though asking for the PCC as perhaps the uploaded document got corrupted(assuming). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mss78 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) I call my agent daily the moment their office starts ......... As usual I called up - waiting for them to say "No updates" ............ but this time i heard the golden words "Your Grant Letter has come".......... and after 2 hours I had the grant letter in mailbox. Super-excited ........ and little bit nervous ......... job hunt .......... settling in Australia and so on ............ but I think for now I should enjoy this moment......... CO allocation mail said GSM Brisbane and asked for PCC and Meds, then the State PCC was asked by GSM Adelaide, and final grant letter came from GSM Brisbane ...... looks like multiple COs worked on it ........ may be a kind of 2nd review ......... that may be taking time (whether front loading or not) I am sure .......... those who are from June batch will get the letters in 2-3 days...... telle, gngaz, bis....... hang on ............. almost there ....... best of luck ......... let all our friends know once the grant letters come in ........ we all are praying ....

bis Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Thanks for the reply, but if the medical is uploaded then why it is still showing recommended? any idea? In my case, the status 'recommended' changed to 'received' on the day CO contacted me. So don't worry about the status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nichola Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Hi all, i recently found this forum, its been fantastic- thank you. I lodged my visa with my partner (we are currently on a 457 here in Oz). Lived here for 4 years, lodged our visa 189 on June 16th. Everything sent through, medicals done. Then we were asked to provide more evidence of our relationship (in which we have been in for 8+ years) sent that off, then another email asking if we could send it directly to them instead of uploading it to IMMI website like we did, and that was Monday 13/10/14. I am exhausted from refreshing my emails all day, do not think I have ever been so anxious in all my life. PLEASE GRANT IT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telle Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 We too received our grant today! Agent called this morning to tell us Finally the wait is over! Strange thing was though I emailed the agent yesterday for an update and nothing, he said he had just emailed the case officer and voila! It was there this morning! For all of those still waiting, I am sure the wait will be over soon Keep holding in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gngaz Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) Anyone please advice me on this. Currently I got a Case officer allocated (Submitted requested additional forms on Sep 26th) application is under processing, and I recently Ended my JOB employment at offshore. My question is.. Do i have to get the latest job reference letter from last employer and upload to IMMI account? form 1022 doesn't required i guess since i dont a have plan to get new job for updating job change circumstances. will the processing gets affected(delayed) if i upload the updated reference letter now? FYI :the reference letter already in IMMI system is taken on FEB 2014 (for ACS). Edited October 19, 2014 by gngaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
