Bethm Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Hi Beth, welcome to the forum :-) we too are off to Melbourne in January. Our visas we're granted 4 weeks after our medicals, we got direct grants (189) from our EOI to grant took us 11 weeks. We are using move cube 6m cubed container costing around £900. We don't need a big container as we have sold nearly all our furniture so it's just for personnel items. Where abouts in Melbourne are you looking at? Also when are you hoping to make to big move? Hope your visa makes a speedy appearance. Jx Hi, we have our medicals tomorrow after a long wait for a Saturday appointment! I'm hoping they go ok and no problems. Hoping for a quick turnaround after that with the grant. If all goes to plan then hopefully off to melbourne in February/march. If you don't mind me asking, which company did you use for your container? thanks, B x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bethm Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I'm sure someone's probably said this before! We had our medicals last Saturday, how do you know when they've been uploaded? Will they show up on our immi account? thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delilah Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I'm sure someone's probably said this before!We had our medicals last Saturday, how do you know when they've been uploaded? Will they show up on our immi account? thanks! Yeah it will reflect on your immi account. Where it says Health Requirement it will change to say something like 'health requirement has been finalized for this applicant....etc.' Unless its referred of course, which will then say that I assume. We did our tests on a Saturday and our clinic uploaded them on Wednesday. The link on the immi account changed immediately. You could also maybe check with your clinic if the results have been uploaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belmakov Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Hi, My EOI has been removed and we didn't receive any grant letter in our mailbox. When I checked online on VEVO, it says grant given on 10th Oct, but it's only showing for main applicant. Any idea how to check dependent details? Thanks.

You should have received an email about the grant with yours and the dependants letter..... And it should say on your immi account too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozmaniac Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Hi - what's VEVO? VEVO is Visa Entitlement Verification Online, a DIBP site where you can check details of your visa e.g. date granted, expiry, etc. http://www.immi.gov.au/Services/Pages/vevo/vevo-overview.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your secondary applicants must have also got the grant letter. If you use the TRN number to see the status - it will show only your status (primary applicant) but there is something called as Grant number which is different for you and each secondary applicant and that needs to be used to check status on VEVO. I also had tried same - used TRN number - only my data - used Grant numbers - got details for secondary applicants as well.......... but the only issue for you is you have to locate those grant letters. Call your CO and request for a copy. Also go through your Spam folder to find "Visa Grant Notice" or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mss78 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Hi - what's VEVO? Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) Entitlement Check - It helps you to see the visa details after you get a grant letter ............. it will also be used during employment or to prove your status to anyone.

globetrotters2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I tell you, it is so frustrating when they send you information in this round-the-village manner, instead of making everything simple and transparent. It's as if sometimes they're trying to keep the information from if they can. Then blame you for it something goes wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belmakov Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Thanks MSS78; have already checked every possible folders in my mailbox. Have dropped a mail to CO; 4 days elapsed no response Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pascoe1986 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Anyone on this forum still waiting? We lodged on 11th June, had a case officer 18th August, uploaded meds and police checks by 5th sept. Heard nothing since? We're applying to Adelaide gsm 190. If there is anyone still in the same position I'd love to hear your story. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pascoe1986 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Thanks for your stories both, they sound pretty similar to mine. Ive only just joined this forum and I'm finding it so helpful. Just speaking to people in the same position really helps put my mind an ease! Good luck, wishing you all speedy grants! X x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Roberto Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 It does seem to go offline during Australian nighttime , which is often our daytime. (In my experience) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yrazvi Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Anyone from June 2014 still out there? We were requested some additional docs (to detail gap in high school and college), which we uploaded in October - but so far no idea what's holding our file and what's going on. This opaque process is so bothersome. All it says is "in progress". Our agent says its normal and there's nothing to worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pascoe1986 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Hey @yrazvi, yeah we're still waiting. We lodged on the 11th June. CO allocated on 18th August, had meds, form 80 and PC checks uploaded by 5th September, on the 4th November, our case officer contacted our agent to say they were unable to load the form 80 and police checks so requested them by email. These were sent same day. Still no contact. Our immi account shows 'in progress' last update 18th August which is the date the CO was allocated. I totally sympathise with you. My agent says there is nothing to worry about too. But it is hard not to worry when so many others get seen to so quickly. Hang in there! Wishing you a speedy grant!

Bethm Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Hi, we're still waiting too. Had our medicals on 25th oct. They are all uploaded onto immi site. It's an agonising wait isn't it? Seems to take forever. hope we all get our grants soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
