Paednurseclaire Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 which team are you under? im with adelaide team 23...sooo slow! Ive not even got CO yet!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagsy Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Yeh they did. As soon as I got my report from counsellor they had it done within the week. However, it then took another week for the CO to grant the visa. It was a tad frustrating but we got it in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdear21 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I see! my friend who lodged on 12th of Sept. with all docs submitted upfront, just got her direct grant yesterday! so you'll get yours soon too. I was so stupid I didn't know about the 'attach document' button on the upper right corner of immipage. I could have uploaded all my docs in the first place too. All my friends also assumed that I was aware...tsk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be lovely to get a grant before Christmas, but I know my case is not straight forward. So it's good to hear that they didn't keep you waiting too long.

Donn Donowitz Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 hello everyone... just needed one small confirmation...when the visa granted for you & your wife...the title for her visa is 'Migrating Dependent' correct ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozmaniac Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Not sure exactly what you mean but when the 189 is granted, all applicants who were included on the application whether they are the primary applicant or a 'migrating dependent' are granted their own independent 189 visa which is not tied in any way to any other visa.

Donn Donowitz Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Thanks for your reply Ozmaniac...actually I got my grant yesterday only As I got married after my visa processing started, my wife was not included in the original application or in EOI...I added her in the last stages but luckily everything came through & we both received the grant...so in the grant letter my Application Type is 'Main Applicant' & her's is 'Migrating Dependent' , just wanted to confirm whether people who have added their spouse from EOI itself has same titles ...

Nursebucko Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Hi all, Just wanted to ask to all of you that have their grants, what time of day did the emails come through? Was it all through the night? Im doing my own head in atm waiting...and if I know there is no chance in the day receiving one I shall stop looking at my phone all day!! Lol thanks x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Roberto Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Hi all, Just wanted to ask to all of you that have their grants, what time of day did the emails come through? Was it all through the night? Im doing my own head in atm waiting...and if I know there is no chance in the day receiving one I shall stop looking at my phone all day!! Lol thanks x Ours came in the night yes. I think they get sent by a 'human' (A CO) during the Australian working day - which varies a bit depending which office is dealing with your case - but yes, I wouldn't worry all day! if you are esp keen, check just before bed, and when you get up in the morning. I'm sure it'll be fine and here before too long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nursebucko Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 lol a human! I thought as much...I only started to wonder as I remember my invite to apply came during the day. But I think that was a automatic email that kicked out. Brilliant I shall just try to relax now and wait with everyone else. I thought being busy in December with xmas things my mind would be taken off it abit...but nope! Lol i did just take a look at the tracker and it certainly seems close now! Bet you guys are so relieved now you have yours? Xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anshul3333 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Hi, I have applied for visa 189 and I am the primary applicant. Still waiting for CO / grant. Would like to speed things up by uploading form 80 in advance. Do I need to submit form 80 for me and my spouse ? Or it's for primary applicant only ? Please advise ..

Paednurseclaire Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Hi From what I have read sometimes it is not required. However if you have the time you could complete it so it's ready to go if requested. I'm not sure who needs to complete it though. But I'm sure it gives some guidance on the 1st page. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Roberto Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) Hi, I have applied for visa 189 and I am the primary applicant. Still waiting for CO / grant. Would like to speed things up by uploading form 80 in advance. Do I need to submit form 80 for me and my spouse ? Or it's for primary applicant only ? Please advise .. We had the form 80 info ready (I used to travel extensively for work), but were never asked for the form. (A 'direct grant') I think it's quicker to not upload the form 80. Keep it all as simple as possible. If they ask, if you have them ready you can upload them. It will be for all people over 18 on the application.

nikopol Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I can't remember exactly but it was quick. I think 4 working days It depends if you opt for the super-fast one (which is a bit more expensive) or the normal speed one. I've used both and they were rapid turnarounds - "slow" one was in oz 14 days after I posted it so not too shabby at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshbay84 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I applied on 26-Sep. CO requested for Form 80 and US state police clearance. Hope to receive police clearance in 2 weeks and upload it. Just curious, would the CO have already gone through other documents and made decision ? Because I see in the tracker that people have been granted visa with couple of days of uploading the additional requested documents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wats2014 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I am the main applicant, I uploaded form 80 and my OH didn't. CO have requested one from him. So that's both of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know for sure but that sounds about right, going by what happened with other people's stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
