steely Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 thanks,, onshore applicant. Great! Best wishes! It seems to me that onshore applicants are more likely to get a quicker grant than offshore applicants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steely Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I applied 3rd July, CO requested form 80 and evidence of employment on 24th August, which I uploaded on 29th August. Not heard anything since then! It seems to me that when they request additonal information, the application gets pushed to the back of the queue (July queue, in my case). If that is the case, I will be lucky to hear from them before end of September. Sob, sob! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanlisa Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Had case officer contact this morning requesting medical a which were uploaded the end of July!!! I hope this doesn't mean we're at the back of the queue again!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indianinoz Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I lodged on 13th July but still no word. Does it make sense to call GSM Brisbane/Adelaide office? Or should I just wait? We have not received any intimation. No additional documents requested, no CO assigned etc. We have already uploaded Form 80, PCC and Medicals for both the applicants(me and my wife).

Indianinoz Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Update: I have received an email just a few moments back from gsm.allocated@border.gov.au from GSM Adelaide asking for further information. It appears they just want me to share my wife's PTE result through the PTE official website. Does this mean that all other documents are satisfactory? Assuming I provide the result by today evening, when can I expect a grant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moh Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 hey guys, is it better (time wise) if the CO got assigned your case and found all your documents uploaded? Or does it make no difference if he asks you to upload some essential documents at a later stage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercow Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 hey guys, is it better (time wise) if the CO got assigned your case and found all your documents uploaded? Or does it make no difference if he asks you to upload some essential documents at a later stage? It's better to front load it all. I decided not to do that, because I wanted to maximise the time given to activate the visa... though now I'm regretting the wisdom of that decision.

Sorry to hear that, I hope you don't extend your waiting time any longer. But I'll be notified when a case officer starts on my case though right? And also, there are a couple of documents that the website is asking for such as Australian relevant education and work experience that I don't have so I left them empty, is that ok?

Alanlisa Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 You might never hear you have a case officer if your application is decision ready. You might just receive a direct grant. Leave the Australian experience sections blank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsSmithy81 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 We lodged July 26th and haven't heard anything yet. A lot of people mentioning form 80 on here. Does everyone have to complete this? We've front loaded all other docs but I'm starting to think we'd better start form 80 too?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanlisa Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 We didn't have to do one. Have you spent a lot of time in another country or are you from a high risk area? I think if any of those things relate to you it's best to fill one in x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsSmithy81 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 We've lived in UK all our lives and don't think we're high risk. I'll put filling one in on hold until we're asked to. Hopefully we won't be asked. Thanks for your help! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
