NicLynn Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Congrats Australia123go We lodged our application 15/05/2017, all documents provided. Medicals cleared on the system mid June. Had a look at the tracker this morning and it said ' Your waiting time is far greater than average, there is chance that you may be under external checks and/or expect an employment verification at any time'. Anyone got any ideas what external checks may be? Also I've just been offered a new job (short term contract) which I am thinking about taking as we are still awaiting the Visa. Do I need to update my employment details on the Immi account if I do? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marine8611 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 any recent 189 grants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeh99 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I've been waiting since 20/03/17. Sick and down due to the wait. I'm a single, 30 year old British secondary school teacher. I am seeing grants for visas all around my submission date on a 'shall not be named' tracker. I'd be keen to know if anyone is in a similar position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of questions-am I right in thinking you front loaded you Police checks and medicals? If so what is the date they've given you for last entry? I'm wondering to just do ours and get them on the system so we don't need to be asked for themGood luck for the move Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I have recently been so frustrated and anxious; however, that has all gone now!! No, I waiting until the CO contacted me and requested them; however, I got CO contact within about two weeks of lodging the visa. Then I got my meds/PCCs done pretty much ASAP. The date of last entry is March 2022. It really is entirely upto you whether to get them done now or wait until they are requested. Pros and Cons to both. If you get them done now, there is every posibility you get a direct grant; however, if your time conscience (as you have to make an initial visa within a year or meds/PCCs), I would wait until CO requests. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iRuleU Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 (edited) I see some people getting grant in a month after lodging their applications and then i see people waiting for grant since few months. Don't understand how grants are given out in a random manner. Edited September 6, 2017 by iRuleU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
