moaustralia Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Creating a thread for January 2015 applicants. I lodged my application yesterday.

clairejs83 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I've not yet been invited but hope to get an invite soon. Can you tell me roughly what time of the day the invite comes through, is it around midnight as soon as it gets to the date in Australia or is it some time through their working day? TIA Claire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moaustralia Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Claire, I got mine on 19 Dec 2014 at 00:18:19 +1100 (i.e. just after midnight Canberra time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clairejs83 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Ah thanks, I'm waiting to hear from them now, fingers crossed for tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clairejs83 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Got the invitation today!! Eeeek!! is the application form as straight forward as it looks? I've just had a look at it and managed to get to page 14/17 thought it would be more complex than what I've seen so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I have just submitted mine:-) V exciting and a lot more straight forward than I was expecting. Just about to embark on uploading of docs. A waiting game now. Just hope I have gone everything entered correctly but have triple checked all my typing!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benj1980 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Yep just got my invite, exciting stuff. Best get sorted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moaustralia Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Congrats all! I filled form 80 while waiting for the invite, so the 189 application felt really easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I haven't done a form 80. I can't see it on the list of required docs. Is it vital/ good idea to complete? Which bit are you uploading it to? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moaustralia Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 It is optional, but some COs ask for it apparently. I just went ahead and filled it out for my wife and I and attached it to the application. There is a button the at top-right of the application for attaching documents. Here is the form: http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/pdf/80.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Thanks - have done a bit of googling and see that some people get asked and others don't. I suppose I might as well complete it to save being asked for it later. Looks a bit tedious though. Many thanks for the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huythanhv2 Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 All the best guys I got mine about 1.5 years a go and got granted within 2-3 weeks after lodgement; but I can still recall the emotion and feeling on that day when I got the invitation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benj1980 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Visa now lodged, it's all beginning to get very real! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
familyof4 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I never thought we would ever get to this stage, but I have just submitted our visa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clairejs83 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Lodged today, uploaded most of the documents - no turning back now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benj1980 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Where is everyone planning to go? We hope to go to WA :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moaustralia Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 I am a software engineer, so probably my best options are Sydney and Melbourne to find a job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clairejs83 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Sunshine or Gold Coast preferably but where ever I can secure a job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
familyof4 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 We are wanting to go to Sydney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Brisbane or Sunshine Coast - depends on work availability. Are you going to try and secure a job in the UK or go and chance it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
familyof4 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I have just noticed on the November lodged gang that someone's visa has come through today, so hopefully we are looking at a 2 month wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benj1980 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Good stuff! I'm a teacher, so it would be difficult to have a permanent job to walk into. I will of course try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benj1980 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 All of October's are complete, November swiftly moving on. All progressing well. Now thinking of front loading, if all goes well we could have visas for end of March and can start planning the move. Thinking school year for the children etc... We are now in limbo land!
