Jimbo Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 So I started the visa application process last night and in the last page I was requested to upload police checks and form 80s before I could proceed with payment. Is this standard practice? I was under the impression (albeit poss wrongly) that they tell you when to get your police checks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetBlast Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 You can front load them or you can wait until they ask you. You shouldn't need to upload them right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this standard practice? I was under the impression (albeit poss wrongly) that they tell you when to get your police checks?I was under the same impression as you that police checks, health checks and form 80 tend to be requested by the case officer a bit further into the process - I'm nit quite at that point yet but when you log into your immi account, it tells you there is a fault with these on the system and to ignore it, perhaps that is the problem?! if so the maintenance is scheduled for the next few days.let us know if you manage to sort it, and Ill let you know if I have the same problem, when I get to that point later [emoji3] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetBlast Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 The problem is many of the occupations now require a higher number of points. Mine is an example. 70 was the minimum but now it is 80. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonandSophietravel Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Congratulations to everyone who has been accepted this week Looking forward to hearing how the visa application process goes for you! For those of us still waiting, my MA has some great news. He was at an immigration conference this week and the representative from S.A. said that they want to reduce their wait time from 14 weeks to 4 weeks as soon as possible and they're already hiring extra staff to get this done. We applied on 18th October, so could potentially get the invitation mid-November Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Combine that with other waiting times it is a long time people put their lives on hold. Im still thankful I didn't have to wait the 15 - 20 weeks.

It says if you don't do this you need a reason why you are not uploading them so I figured I might as well do it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetBlast Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I wrote something about it being a big enough place to offer good employment opportunities but then with SA being on the smaller side I could also enjoy a peaceful life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurinder kaur Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 (edited) Hi, Received invitation yesterday to lodge visa 190.Could anyone guide me ,if I could submit my spouse's skill assessment with visa application or not? As I couldn't claim my husband's points because when I had applied for SA nomination at that time we were waiting for his skill assessment results. Response would be highly appreciated.
