As far I know yes. You have to maintain your private health insurance. That’s what everyone doing. And may be also your bridging states the same thing.

Kos Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Looks like immi does work on Saturday. My application status is updated to "initial assessment" on the Saturday. The "Evidence of English language ability" of my partner (secondary applicant) was requested by the processing office: NSW PESE. We will choose to pay the second instalment of the visa application charge instead of taking the exams. Now my question is how to inform the immi about our choice? Can I attach a pdf with the statement of our choice...? The other question: in my application home page, it mentioned "by clicking on 'Information Provided' button...". I can't find where the button is. Anyone can help? Thank you! ====== from the application home page ====== Important information This application requires additional supporting documentation.

Sorry i dont have the answer to your question, but I do have a question for you. Did you receive this famous email everyone is talking about this week? Oh I just see that you only applied 3 weeks ago is that correct? Edited April 7, 2019 by Suusz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Suusz, I am not sure it is the famous email that the others talked about recently. First email after I submitted my application in about 3 weeks ago. The email is from nsw.pse: ======== REQUEST CHECKLIST AND DETAILS We need more information to help us assess your application. ======== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kos Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 @Nandarao Seems to be different email in my case, it didn't mention "application will be looked at shortly...". @Hydra Yes, I applied on 15/Mar/2019, company paid the levy on the day. Hopefully it will be quick... In the immi email attachement "Request for more info.pdf", it mentioned "When we have received your documents, they will show as 'Received' in ImmiAccount.". I am not sure what is next after I click the "Information provided" button... The application status flip back to "received" or ... Noticed others had app status in "initial assessment" and still waited a while... Anyway, the email seems to be a good sign... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please correct me if I am wrong. @Louisa No one know as yet - as know one has yet confirmed this. There is a lot of email talk, I think it would be best to wait for someone to get solid evidence on these emails, then update everyone one same. All the "I have no email" / "me too" posts, really don't help anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gills1987 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Hi all, I received my visa grant on Saturday. Immigration requested medicals and police certs on 12 March. I only received my UK police cert on 05 April (uploaded to IMMI on same day), visa was then granted on 06 April! company I work for is an accredited sponsor - not sure how much difference that made, if any. Think my signature is done right. Thnaks for all the info that is posted to this forum - it’s such a great source for people.

Hex Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 19 hours ago, Kashif.Iqbal said: @Hex please reply. @Kashif.Iqbal reply to what mate? You ask some really unnecessary questions here - most of which have already been answered. - This post has no context and you have 3 messages posted before this. A little context does go a long way. If this is regarding (what I assume you're asking about) your latest (to this post): "Anyone heard that someone got grant on sunday?" Then yes, I have heard of grants being given on Sundays, however, not due to CO working. As far as I know, the department is open on Saturdays and does work, however, any grant received on a Sunday is typically from the system sending the email a day later (granted on Saturday) or from people only seeing messages on Sundays and assuming it's granted the same day. Hopefully someone with experience on a Sunday grant could elaborate on this for us. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rahulbharate Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Hi All, I am a newbie here. Quick question - Can we apply 186 Direct Entry Visa on our own if employer is ready to provide all the required documents to us. Or going through any agent is better? My Employer has advised to go with EY but their fees is just too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Employer has advised to go with EY but their fees is just too high. @rahulbharate Yes, you can and are allowed to make the application yourself, however, personally - I'd suggest going through an agent. I went through EY and, although I had to monitor my application closely (often giving them updates, before them me), they were good and I had the reassurance knowing I'm going through an agent who (should) know what they doing - vs. me who had no idea, and felt it would be all a little too over-whelming. - I also considered the cost of re-applying due to me not knowing what and how to upload things (hence, getting my application rejected). Regardless, this is a personal choice - either way, you can go with ether route - there is no rule to use an agent, some just find it "safer". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinBieber Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Thanks everyone's help. I just got my golden mail. Hope everyone got their golden mail soon.

In my case, my company HR helped to submit the employer nomination and I submitted my visa application myself, although we usually go through MA. It is to save some $$$ on MA's service cost for me. Our company used to pay everything of the visa cost. Now the MA cost goes to employee... With or without paying MA service, most info/doc for the application are still the same... To me, the guides on immi website is not too difficult to follow. As long as being honest and providing reasonable material in the application, I personally feel immi is not hard... Anyway, it all depend on whether you believe you can manage the application yourself or not... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
