Peachy Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Have just spent an hour on 1 form 80. OH just has to do his now. Any other forms apart from the usual that people are putting on? Don't want to miss anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benj1980 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) Don't think so, most was prepared for EOI. Meds and PCC are the two big ones this time! Edited January 18, 2015 by benj1980 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamOB Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 We lodged on Fri. Seems very real now. Wasn't expecting the turn around some folk on here seem to have had. Perhaps we need to get the house on the market etc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benj1980 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Well I won't be putting a house on the market just yet, but certainly feel in limbo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamOB Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Unfortunately houses in our village aren't selling well. Our neighbours house has been on the market for 2 years! There are another 2 houses for sale on our street alone :-( Agree completely regarding being in limbo though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tavio Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Lodged my 189 application on Jan. 3rd and finished my health examinations and attached my police clearance on Jan. 16th. I finished filling out form 80 today but haven't attached it yet. Do I have to make a certified copy of it before scanning and uploading it to the online form? My wife and I are keeping the fingers crossed here, same as you guys. Good luck to all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liseylooau Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Hoping to lodge within the next few days! We are already in Queensland on my husbands 457 visa, just need to secure our golden ticket now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moaustralia Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 I did my medical exam today. The doctor said the results will be entered into eMedical within 7 days. Next is my wife's medical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liseylooau Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Have people pre loaded medicals and PCC's and submitted decisions ready applications or are you waiting for CO to request? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benj1980 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I haven't yet but will be soon. In terms of Oz, I'm sure people may have questions when they're visa is hopefully granted. I'm thinking in terms of planning for the big move! Where do you start?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teachingcouple Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 We just submitted our EOI with me as the primary applicant as a Secondary School Teacher with 65 points. Four years in the making and the time is finally here. I've been lurking on this website for so long and now I actually get to post in one of these threads, very exciting! Any ideas how long I might have to wait to actually apply? Wish us luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benj1980 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Sorry I'm editing my post. The last visa offers were on Tuesday so you have a 12 days wait for the next offers. Edited January 23, 2015 by benj1980 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinkestlady Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 So excited! Teachingcouple we are in the same boat, been quietly watching and can finally comment! We received our invite on the 9th Jan 2015. I am a little confused though. I plan to apply this week and have just been getting documents in order (had to get lots of replacements as I managed to put all the documents I had gathered for skills assessment in the summer in a 'very safe' place and unfortunately they are still in that safe place) I was planning on applying but when I checked the list of required documents again the police check is there. I thought we had to wait to be asked for that? Also I haven't even booked our medicals yet because I thought we had to wait to be asked to get those too? Should I just go ahead and apply and upload all the documents I have, then book our medicals and apply for police check? Any advice would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benj1980 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 You can front load police checks and meds, but you don't have to. The Case Officer would ask for them when required. All other documents need to be uploaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tina0101 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Good luck everyone. A year ago we applied for our 189 (on 16th). We've been in Australia now for 5 months and have bought a house and move in next week! I remember exactly how you are all feeling!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benj1980 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Has anyone got the link to the visa tracker google doc handy? I the November thread are commentating on gaining their grants, perhaps a bit earlier than expected. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teachingcouple Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 benj1980 - thanks for the info. Did you get this information from the immi website or is it just something you know from people posting on here? pinkestlady - good luck with the documentation! We have our own issue about police and medical checks, which is that my wife is heavily pregnant and due to give birth mid February. We will have to fill out form 1022 to notify them and also wait until the baby is born to get our medical checks done, and we will have to get it's passport. There are a few things I am unsure of though... do I have to tell them when we actually apply and pay for the visa that she is pregnant? And once the baby is born where do we send the 1022 form, do we just upload it like the other documents? Also, will we have to wait until the baby gets his passport before the visa can be processed and granted? If anyone has the answers to these questions I would be very grateful, though from reading other forum posts it seems this is a somewhat common occurrence and the C/O's are accommodating about this.

People posting on here. I believe Immi has a target of processing 189's within 3 months, they wouldn't want to admit publicly that they're processing a bit quicker. You can imagine the queries/complaints if they slowed down a bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
