Thankyou for the response. I actually went on to my immi account just to make sure it was submitted - it is. Certainly got me panicking!! You'd think they'd sort that out!! I'll email them later anyways. Cheers!!

seasheLL95 10 Posted October 14, 2014 I know. We are. However my partner lived in America for a few years and it takes 3 to 4 months for them to issue a police clearance. We sent off for it over 2 months ago so hopefully it shouldn't be much longer. Not sure how to arrange the medicals though. I tried following the link to organize them but it keeps bringing me back to the same page. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brana 10 Posted October 15, 2014 Congratulations,does direct grant mean that u did not hear from case officer at all? I mean did u get any notification mail saying u have been assigned a case officer? Or just one direct mail saying ur visa has been granted?

navigator 10 Posted October 15, 2014 That's right brana. Had uploaded all relevant documents already. Thus 189 visa was directly granted without any correspondence with Co. A lot of people are getting direct grants as to what I see in the forums. All the best to all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cooswoody2 10 Posted October 15, 2014 Hi, first night on here but would like recommendations of migration agents and visa companies as we need o get rolling with paperwork and visas..can anyone help as you all seem in the same circumstances as us..joiner husband,2kids and me all wanting to be in oz by 2016 ideally..any advice be welcomed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikeyd 10 Posted October 15, 2014 Don't use an agent is my advice. It's a relatively straight forward process if you take your time and read the info on the immi website. I was surprised how simple it all was in the end. Going by timelines, I'll potentially have a direct grant a week on monday then I'll be able to say for sure! Or pay me to be your agent!
