joshbay84 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Hi, I applied on 28th sep 2014. Was asked in November by CO for additional info which I provided. Early Dec I was told I was I month short of the 3 years work experience, and I had until 24/12/14 to submit this- which I did. I have since heard nothing, and have had no reply within 7 days to my e-mail. Starting to worry! Any thoughts or advice? I see people submitting after this date have had visa granted! I had sent more than couple of emails to CO without much luck - never got any reply. I think once CO has requested additional documents, it takes time to get approval. It took 105 days for my visa to get approved.Also, you need to consider that not much progress would have been made between christmas and 05-Jan. You might just get a straight grant email pretty soon. Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottishlass14 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Thanks joshbay84- I really hope so! I'm a bit worried that if I loose 5 points for being a month short of work experience my application will be rejected as my invitation was based on points that included those 5. Oooh it's so tough not knowing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oooh it's so tough not knowing! Hi Scottishlash I am still waiting too. I used an agent. I am unsure whether I even have a CO. I've just emailed my agent again, it's so frustrating isn't it :daydreaming: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mannyg Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Hi InNeedOfSun, did you frontload the Form 80? If not, did the CO ask for it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InNeedOfSun Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Hi InNeedOfSun, did you frontload the Form 80? If not, did the CO ask for it? Thanks Hi Mannyg, No, I did not front load the form 80. My CO never asked for it either. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Roberto Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Hi Mannyg, No, I did not front load the form 80. My CO never asked for it either. cheers I reckon it's good to be aware of the possibility of having to do a form 80, but would always recommend not sending one in unless asked. It just adds to the COs workload and Makes it take longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at mid March for the big move! Whoo hoo It's great! Such a weight of the mind! However now starts the next challenge - finding an employer who will agree to supervise me for 6 months to enable me to get my Ahpra registration! :wacko: Wow March is just round the corner! You got jobs sorted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got jobs sorted? Ahhh sounds like we're in a similar boat. I'm starting the whole ahpra process this week :err: I'm a paeds trained diploma nurse so hoping to be offered the supervised practice. I'm happy to work as a nursing assistant till it comes through though, gives me a chance to try and get my head around the health care system.
