falcon Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Hi Apra, I am yet to get any update. I lodged on 6th sep and fingers crossed. I am getting really nervous. Hoping for the best. Congrats on your grant and I am happy for you. What was your application status until you get the grant? Was it "Application received" ? Country Boy, Could you please share your timeline?

Congrats on your grant and I am happy for you. What was your application status until you get the grant? Was it "Application received" ? Country Boy, Could you please share your timeline? Regards falcon Application status till i received the grant was "Application Received" and then changed directly to "Finalized". It should not get more late now as i had 3 applicants in my application...but i had uploaded all the documents i thought would be neccessary and relevant...still it took 61 days for the grant... I dint upload form 80 though... Cant really guess how the grant process unfolds... just got to wait...nothing else...i was waiting and i know it was killing me every single day... Just hope for the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrsfilip Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Hi all. We got our visa grant today!!!! Applied 23/09, Co 28/10, uploaded docs 9/11. For some reason we have only been given until the 15th March 2016 to make first entry. I thought it was 12 months from the visa grant or PCC/medicals?? In which case I was expecting the 11th September 2016 to be our first entry date. Has anyone else been given only 4 months to make first entry? I don't understand how they came to this date?

MiM Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) Mrsfilip, what are the dates of youalls pccs? Edited November 10, 2015 by MiM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrsfilip Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Uk and cayman islands PCCs dated end of September, and aus PCC dated 30/10. I don't understand how they have come up with 15/03/2016? We are waiting to hear back from Co. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selina Smith Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Well done on your visa grant Mrsflip, that's strange with your entry date! Keep us posted with what your CO says xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations. It is strange about the first entry date, I would imagine that it's just a clerical error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrsfilip Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Thank you! I hope it's a mistake, but it does specifically say on the grant that the first entry date cannot be changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrsfilip Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I have just had a thought...the medicals may not have been processed until the 15th September. I'm wondering because I had to do a health undertaking form 815 for tb history whether my medical is only valid for 6 months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering because I had to do a health undertaking form 815 for tb history whether my medical is only valid for 6 months? That is most likely it. You have to contact BUPA within 28 days of arrival to organise your first health assessment, and I've heard somewhere that the health undertaking for TB is 6 monthly, but I can't remember where I saw that.

Mrsfilip Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I think you're right, but this would also mean that we can't just go and get the visas validated before this date, I would need to remain to have the health assessment. My joy is being overcome by sheer panic! I'm going to need that bottle of champagne when I get home this evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My joy is being overcome by sheer panic! I'm going to need that bottle of champagne when I get home this evening Because BUPA is private there's a chance that you could arrange an appointment in Australia before you travel to validate your visa. You could contact BUPA and ask. Their number is +61 1300 794 919 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
