boffin Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Hey Everyone, Ā I've been following this thread for a long time now, but this is my first post. My timeline: Ā RCB & nomination - don't know the dates, handled by employer. Nomination approved: 22 Oct 2014 Visa applied: 22 Oct 2014 Additional documents requested: 9 Mar 2015 Ā Hope this helps other people waiting. Ā Now a couple questions: Ā 1) what happens if required documents (police certs with extra details) can't be provided in required timeframe? Do they make the call based on what's available? Postpone processing? Else? 2) how strictly enforced is the requirement of police / health checks for partner not included in the application? Ā Cheers and best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boffin Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Nope, it's just that one of the countries I lived in uses complicated format of PCC. DIBP requires very particular phrasing of the statements and that was a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you provide DIBP evidence that you've applied for the police checks, they will extend the amount of time. This is a typical issue with processing times that vary from country to country. 2. If your partner is included in the application, then a police and health check is required. If you can't provide a police check (i.e. there are some countries that will not provide these to ex-residents that don't hold citizenship), then you need to ask DIBP about a police check waiver. The health check is required, and this is strictly enforced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try squeeze things into the 28 days - I had massive delays before I even got to apply, so need to finalize this as soon as it is practical. It's good to know there's error margin though! 2. The thing is, my partner is NOT included in the application. Due to professional circumstances, it's not practical for her to move to Australia in the near future. We have residential addresses in different countries yet spend a fair bit of time together (we likely wouldn't be recognized by DIBP as de facto for that reason). She is only mentioned in form 80 as there's an explicit question there. Next thing was getting asked for all the PCs and healthchecks for her as well. Ā I found legal basis for requesting healthcheck from non-migrating non-included partner in fact sheet 22: Ā All applicants for permanent visas, including the main applicant, partner and any dependants, must be assessed against the health requirement. Even if the applicant's partner and dependants are not included in the visa application, they must still be assessed against the health requirement. https://www.immi.gov.au/media/fact-sheets/22health.htm Ā I can't find a word on PCCs. I will try to ask the case officer about this tomorrow, maybe there's a way to simplify this a bit. It seems overly restrictive - and it wasn't clearly communicated at application time (otherwise it would have been done and dusted for months by now Ā Has anyone run into this in the past? Any hints will be very welcome Ā Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was mentioned a couple times that the Christmas break likely didn't help. All 2014 applications might still get a bit of that - and hopefully fresh (February on) applications won't have that problem.

Ā i dont know about others but mine has rejected in the past in 2013 because i didnt had sufficient experience . but the new regulation says if i have cert 4 i dont need two year experience .My wait is longer than anybody else in this blog i guess. but fingers crossed for each and everyone here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HellOloLoO Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Decision ready is no longer existed. I think Ā you should with with your MA. The immi officer will require you to do another medical check if they proceed your file after May. Ā Its good to have a MA to check about the work experience but I think providing pay slip is one of the important evidence.
