tennis16 Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Hi, Just wanted to share my 186 time line. Had medicals, UK & AFP police certificates ready pre application. Nomination submitted 30th Jan 2013 Visa applied for 6th Feb 2013 ACK, Bridging Visa Issued etc 6th Feb 2013 Nomination Approved 2nd May 2013 Request for Form 80 6th May 2013 - Form completed and scanned same day PR Visa Granted on the 7th May 2013 I did all the work myself, did not use a migration agent or do the decision ready check. I applied under the agreement stream, had been here for 18 months on 457. Was really happy to be approved in three months ! It really helped to see everyones timelines on here, so thought i would share mine ! Anybody applied this visa as direct entry while applying from overseas?

Tickled Pink Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Anybody applied this visa as direct entry while applying from overseas? Look for the transferring from the Royal Navy to Aus Navy thread, they all apply from overseas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louielou Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 How long did people wait to get their UK police check back? (if you had to get one of course!) The MA I'm using won't start working on my application until I have it. Also, with the medical, will a receipt for the appointment work to show proof that it's booked?? Not sure what is expected to be added to the online application and the MA isn't doing anything until I have ALL of my forms apparently.... Thanks!

Tickled Pink Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 (edited) Our police checks took three weeks to come back to us. We uploaded the meds receipt and that worked for us, no further info was needed. If your agent is preparing a decision ready application (which sounds like it) then yes, they are right to ask for all docs before submitting anything for you. A DR application requires everything to be submitted at once. Edited May 23, 2013 by Tickled Pink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmjen Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hi, Im new to this thread we have our 186 application submitted, we have a case officer who has requested medicals, police checks, form 80 and a couple of work related documents. We have had our medicals but just waiting on the kids passports to come back before they can have their medicals, UK police checks should be back soon, I have my Oz police checks but it says they need the original certificate? where do i send it or can i scan a certified copy? and we are finished the form 80s tonight and submitting them! Its great to hear some people are getting their visa quickly! we have been here over 5 years on temp visas, to think we could have pr soon in amazing!

MrsMoo Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Its been 4 weeks now since we had a CO assigned. She asked for an extra document that we had to send for - got it to her within 5 days. Since then we've heard nothing, MA is saying nothing either. Does this seem odd? Should I be worried? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hatula Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 My visa has just come through!!! Applied through RMA so it was decision ready on 21st December and heard nothing back until today (5 months 1 week). I rang DIAC to check at the 5 month mark, they didn't tell me anything aside from 'processing' and I'm not sure if it made a difference. Good luck to everyone else. :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candycrush Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Hi mmjen, Simple is to use pdf splitter (simple you can do it online via this site http://www.splitpdf.com/) and merge another part with this http://www.pdfmerge.com/ with your page with signature.
