Small update, I applied for my eVisitor Visa. It says it may take over a day to be granted, I can't wait that long!

 

My evisitor took several days (and WHV well over a week) so don't worry if it doesn't come straight away.

 

 

 

Well the countdown is on for me. I make the big move to Tassie on Sunday. Yikes!

I've had mixed experience. My last one took an hour but the one before that took a couple of days.

Hi,

 

Quick question for anyone who might know...

 

If applying for a whv can I use the same medical that I have used for my 309/100 or would I need another chest x-ray?

 

thanks

You don't need a medical for WHV :smile:

You don't need a medical for WHV :smile:

 

 

Thats good to know, I was having a look at them earlier as a fallback if my visa does not come through on time and it said something about health requirements.

 

thanks for the quick reply

Come on Dibp where are the grants??

Come on Dibp where are the grants??

My thoughts exactly. I'm not going anywhere til November/December but I just want it so I know it's there! The wait is nerve wrecking! Come on DP...

[alansuspect]

I'm thinking we won't see anything until July, it's when new things tend to happen and (I could be wrong but) possibly when they get their quota of visas? I'm sure I read that somewhere once.

Hopefully it all starts moving again. Either way were off on the 14th October around 9.5 months after lodgement.

Woohoo well done, that's brilliant news, sooo happy for you :wink:

It would be interesting to hear from people on the Pookie list as to the waiting times for grants which were given when their CO,s were appointed. I know after a certain date last year it jumped to between 10-14 months but ive still seen 9-12 months being mentioned on here. Seems to be some irregularities from different CO,s

We were quoted 10-14 months. Just hoping now it's nearer to 10 than 14. Not seen many visa grants from DP for a long time so he must be due to send them all out on the 1st July [emoji120] [emoji1]

[Bound4Tassie]

My standard / automated response said 9-12m. Don't know if CO will have a different answer when allocated!

[bobby122]

My automated acknowledgement email said 9-12 months but next correspondence from CO said 10-14

Mine too.

I know Jen brilliant feeling, but getting my head round it all that I am finally going home is excited and sad rolled into one.

[Aussiegirl]

Pours have said 10-14 ,as this is the new dates they are giving , apparently the 9-12 is on the old ones,before it all got changed over ,well that's what my CO agent said

[Bound4Tassie]

What is the " evidence of family composition"? Says may include certified copies of your family register or family tree"

Do u just upload birth certificates here or do they want me to draw a family tree??!

[Bound4Tassie]

And do u have to keep duplicating info eg upload marriage cert 3 times to show a change if name, relationship ( spouse or defacto) and them also under ' marriage, evidence of' ...or can they work out that 1 upload shows all that?!!

Let's hope so PJd2628! I'm bored of waiting now. Xx

Hi, still no news either , CO is LG and applied 18th Sept. Also hoping 1st week of July . My CO have issued visas applied for before and after us in September so hoping its not too much longer now

[elzawelza]

If they do get the new quota in July (and hence issue loads then) it'll be because the financial year in Australia runs 1st July to 30th June xx

New visa quotas start for all classes on july 1st every year.

However Spouse Visas are still limited to only issuing a certain number each month.
