steely Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Just had a look at the spreadsheet and it seems a majority of the grants over the last few weeks have been to 'onshore' applicants. Of course the spreadsheet is not always updated but it certainly shows less grants recently compared to any other period in the recent past? It is worries me to see that in the last two weeks, according to the spreadsheet, there has been only one grant to an 'offshore' applicant (on 2nd Sept). He/she applied on 19th June !!! :-( https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FbZvlgMTC54aMv2LVhtcQuBXMfUkIpydWuZAAFHf8-Y/edit#gid=277 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanlisa Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 I was going insane with checking my emails and IMMIaccount (just in case) every few hours but it is worth every second of stress and waiting to open that email with the grant! :yes: I can't wait for that golden email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steely Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 They may be from high risk countries, but if 'onshore,' I suppose they are easier to assess as they are known to DIBP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martyanderson Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Hi Everyone, Congrats to all that have applied and been granted their visa already. I applied on 6th July and received an email from immigration on 3rd Sept requesting evidence for casual/part-time employment I had in 03-05. Unfortunately I have no evidence as this was cash-in-hand kind of work when I was still at school, it was in a small retail store that didn't do things too formally. The business ceased trading in 2012, I can provide evidence of this through Companies House. I have absolutely no contact details for the employer since. I have provided evidence for 9+ years employment experience that has been acknowledged in an email from DIBP. I have claimed for 8+ years in my application. Can anybody advise what action I could take at this stage? My thoughts were to email my case officer/team stating that the business has ceased trading, I have no documentation or evidence and no contact details for the owner/management but I am concerned that this will not satisfy their requirements. I'd appreciate any support or advice, starting to stress more and more! Thanks, Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would make clear that it is not part of the period being claimed for skilled employment/the visa application. It was 'unskilled' employment, pre-qualification, it shouldn't be an issue.

Indianinoz Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Does anyone mind sharing the email for the visa looks like? And how does the PR 189 visa look like? Or should I look it up on the internet? It is great to see people who applied in the first 10 days of July getting their grants. I applied on 13th July so I'm waiting and waiting and waiting. Has anyone who lodged(i.e. paid fee) after 10th of July got their grant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But mostly i guess CO's getting allocated for 10th July + applicants. But, we will hear from the dept soon.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelaine Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Hi. I just want to share. Lodged on 20 July. Got my CO early this morning. Requested form 80, which i already uploaded weeks ago. I dont know why. Email was sent to clarify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moh Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Hey all, I just submitted an application for a 189 visa (that is after I got my EOI invitation of course and did all the paper work). I applied through skill select and the website kept asking me a lot of stuff that I had already answered before in my EOI but it didn't ask for any documentation or medical examination or anything from the document checklist I've been looking at; I thought maybe they will but at a later time or in the next step perhaps, if anyone who has been through this before reply with any useful info I would highly appreciate it. And also, what about the time frame? how long might I be looking at here?? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stablemav Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Hello All, Moh - You will need to complete the application and complete payment. Once you then navigate back to view your application you will have the ability to start uploading documents and be able to generate a HAPID through the health examinations link. For the individuals that were requested to complete form 80, do you mind me asking what nationality/country of residence you are from? I'm wondering if we should start to complete this sooner rather than later. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
