Guest Sarah & Damo Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Hi ya we are hoping to head for near the Gold Coast or Northern NSW whenever we hear about our visa! On another note about us August people. Our agent (who is fab) complained to the head of Immigration about the wait and said we can't be kept hanging on indefinitely. Immigration are still adamant that they are only issuing case officers to June 07 applicants and that we will hear in due course, but we all know they are further ahead of this in quite a lot of cases. I have forwarded our agent a link for British Expats etc. so she can see that quite a few people have now had theirs/have got case officers!! I'm sure we will all hear really soon!! Good luck to everyone still waiting and to those waiting to go/sell their houses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ryan, Rachel & Beth Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Hi Rachel, welcome back to PIO, I remember you from last year because of your avatar.... Congratulations on getting your CO, when have you got your medical booked for? KP Nuts Hi, its been a while since I've been on this site (not that I didn't want to keep in touch but I found it so frustrating not being able to add any progress.) Our meds are booked for 4th June, have completed Poilce Application but need to get another set of passport photos done which is a job for this weekend! Still waiting on x-rays appointment to be confirmed but I will chase up tomorrow. Hopefully I will be able to keep up to date on here more regularly - I feel a little lost but trying my best to catch up... Hope all goes well for you and your family, Rachel xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest creakybones Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hi nice to meet you all :notworthy: My name is Maria, hopefully moving over soon.

Application sent 27/08/2007 Acknowledged 15/12/2007 Ref number given 21/1/2008 C/O assigned 1/5/2008 Police checks applied for 5/5/2008 Police checks back and sent 9/5/2008 Meds booked for 4th June Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sarah & Damo Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hi Creaky Bones! Welcome to PIO! Well I reckon that after your medicals have been sent in you shouldn't be long off getting the nod as you already have a case officer! Good news!!! Hope that's the case and it all goes really speedily for you from now on! Whereabouts are you hoping to head to? Sarah x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest creakybones Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hi Sarah Thanks for the reply. I hope it won't be too long, but a little worried about the meds. We are hoping to go to Perth, though which area seems to change daily! lol Thing is, most of the jobs for my career seem to be in Adelaide or Melbourne, areas I hadn't really considered. Not sure what to do. Maria xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest datum1m Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hi We applied in August 07, but not yet got visa Can you please give me some advice. A bit of background first Application type: Class BN Subclass 136 Skilled-Independent Application Lodged 17th August 2007 Case Officer asked for Medicals & Police Certificates 14th April 2008 Police Certificates lodged electronically with CO via agent 30th April 2008 Medical Examination done 29th April send to Sydney by doctors 9th May 2008 My agent tells me it is taking Sydney more than six weeks to process medicals do you have any experience of this and also how long does it take once CO as medicals approved by Sydney. I have noticed some fellow members look online for updates to their applications, is this service only available for applications which were made online.

Guest Sarah & Damo Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hi Nigel!! Think you can only get an update regardless but only as long as you haven't got an agent! They won't tell us anything when we e-mail them! Hope you can get some news soon. We're still waiting too. It seems they're slowly getting through us!

Guest datum1m Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hi Sarah, Thanks for reply; I see you are applying for a 136 type visa too, are there many people still waiting for news from August? We were hoping to fly out during the main summer school holidays and get our visas stamped and look around the Gold Coast for a few weeks during OZ winter. We thought it would be a cooler time of year for looking around the different suburbs and it would also give us an idea of what the winter would be like out their. I’ll let you know if we hear anything more Regards Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ivan Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Hi All augustees Seems like we have been waiting for an absolute age. Police checks and meds sent in april as requested, Heard nothing, seen nothing, talked to nothing. I is feeling like a not so wise monkey. We started this process intially in Feb. 2007 when we first contacted the agent, god that seems a long time ago. We have certainly learn't the word 'patience' (hope i spelled it right) chin up.

Guest claire&fred Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Congratulations to all those who are getting their Visas. It is great to see more August people getting them. I was a cat B with our meds only because I had a back op 10 years ago. Don't worry about it, no-one asked me anything about it. We got our CO on 29 April and she just requested our PCC and meds but they were already sent. Like Jo, I rang Australia Embassy on 13 May to be told our Visa was granted on 5 May. Lots of luck to those still waiting. Your time will come, I promise. Claire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
