Bushpiglet Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Hoping someone can help clear my stressed, shell-shocked mind please?? I've been offered a job in Brisbane (yay!). They want me to start at the end of July/beginning of August. We lodged on 29/04/16. Everything's done apart from medicals which are booked for 04/06/16. My question is how long is the visa likely to take from the point the results are through? Obviously we have to give a month notice on our house, book flights etc...can't get my head around how/when to do all of that? Thanks in advance!x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodipodi Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Can't help really as far as advice.... How longs a piece of string I suppose... If you have no issues you could be granted very quickly.... I'd speak to your agent about this, they may be able to do some gentle encouragement to CO once your meds have cleared, especially if the job offers in writing?.... I'd ask the question xx Well done though... That's great!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushpiglet Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 Thanks. Yeah I asked our agent and she advised me to forward a letter confirming the job offer which they can upload onto the application. She said she didn't know if it would make any difference to the processing speed. I just wondered if anyone can say how long theirs took to be granted after medicals...wish I'd have booked them last month like I was going to but the agent advised to wait. :rolleyes: I guess they just want to play it safe which is understandable.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodipodi Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Make sure you get everything in writing confirming their offer of employment! Then I'd start writing lists of exactly what itisyou need to toe up and organise..... Then you are ready to roll. If ypu have a partner you could always make the move (once granted) whilst they stay and tie up.... Something to think about Xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushpiglet Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 They're asking HR to put it together so should have that by Friday. Ideally we want to all go together. Long story but I've been away for over 3 months out of the last 9 supporting sick relatives so I don't really want to be separated from my husband and son again. I'm mainly worried about booking flights etc...Obviously don't want to book them yet incase visa's don't come through in time, but don't want to leave it too late for them all to be full/ridiculously expensive. Right...lists it is!:cute: Thanks!x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjwilli Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 From submitting our visa applications to visa grant it was 26 days. But we had our medicals within 5 days of submitting the application forms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushpiglet Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 Thanks guys. So you were granted your visa's just under 3 weeks after your medicals samjwilli? That's good to know. I'm working on the basis that, assuming all is OK with the medicals, if we can get our grant by the end of June we have a month before we need to leave so we can hand our notice in, book flights etc. It's going to be tight!x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
