exirsc Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 You are mistaken buddy. My wife was sent request for medical one month after lodgement. Nowadays they are asking for medicals earlier in the application process. Don't get your hopes too high. It could still take 6 - 8 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exirsc Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 We lodged mid April and got request for medical after three weeks. Just to be exact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think anyone mentioned anything about visa being granted soon. Just that Medicals coming in is a good sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waseem Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Is there any male applicant who has pending security checks for more than 12 months ? Because it is stated by AHC that security checks take max upto 12 months. (this is the time for security checks..not the total time since lodgement) ??

(this is the time for security checks..not the total time since lodgement) ?? hello waseem. salaamz. yes u r right. actually when we lodge application, AHC doesnt send SC to ASIO. they do first internal SC from our PCC and when they complete these checks and send application for SC to ASIO we dont know actually. according to my info ASIO takes 6-9 months to complete checks.( may b 12 moths max.) m waiting for visa grant for more than 12 moths but for my checks itz 9th month. so we can hope. Waseem can u pleeeez put ur data on spreadsheet. praying for all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lbaines Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Hi, I finally submitted my partner visa application to London office and have been assigned a CO (SV) additional information was requested for evidence of a long term relationship and apply for a permanent visa instead of temporary. Has this ever happened to anyone else, we have only been married a year but together for 5, is this a good sign? I assume it is?? I was also requested not to have my medical until after August is this normal to have to wait? when I came home today I have had my birth certificate, our marriage certificate and copies of photos cards etc returned. I assume this means that our application has been read and assessed as it is? Did this happen to any one else? I was hoping the stress would subside once I handed the application in but now I am feeling paranoid and confused! any advice welcomed! thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiegirlbay Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Hi Lbaines, Yeah if your relationship is more than 3 years then they may grant you Permanent Visa (100) instead of Provisional (309), don't worry, looks like it's a good sign Yeah it is normal, wait for CO's mail for medical request. Did you send Originals?? If yes, then ya they do return Originals to the applicant after few weeks, though I am not sure your application has been read/assessed but certainly your case is in progress Don't be confused, just relax & wait till you get your Visa Grant:) Good Luck!!!

Well my 14 months are completed on June 10th and as per my CO my security checks were started in June 2012 so hope SC will be completed in this month ,,,,, hmmm i also read it somewhere that they issue visas according to territory like if some one is moving where migrants are less they grant visa soon ,,, they have certain numbers to locate in states like NSW,SA ... well i am moving to Sydney and it is already crowded with immigrants hope thats not the case and we get it soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After then DIAC will make decision and grant visa keeping in view the locality and planning. .so that can depend on yearly quota..but completion of security checks by ASIO has nothing to do with financial year or quota..It's not their business. .they just have have to give their assessment. So I am sure that chances of getting security checks complete remains the same whether it is june or July Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faisi10 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Can any one tell me whts the difference b/w PR and TR? As im currently on visa sub class 309 which is TR..do I have the same rights as of subclass 100 which is PR ?? The reason I am asking this is its difficult to get professional jobs here when you are on TR.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I am asking this is its difficult to get professional jobs here when you are on TR.. Bro there is big difference in TR and PR with Permanent Residence you can come out/in Australia anytime , With PR you will have more opportunities and rights there , you can still get job in TR but with PR there are more chances as employer will know that now you are permanent resident of Australia , and as mentioned your DOL for TR is December 2011 and you can lodge application for PR right after you complete two years so you will be eligible to apply for Permanent Residence in December 2013 .... Seek help from good agent there and you will get Permanent Residence ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missu Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Hey Faisi10. Yes there is a difference between TR and PR. Although you have full working rights in TR but you don't get all the benefits such as medicare etc. Yes its a bit tough finding job on TR, may be because its end of financial year. keep tryin, and hope you will get it soon Insha Allah. which field you lookin on in applying? May be it depends on the field. All the best to all others who still waiting for visa grant. your good times are coming very soon. IA. lol m still in pak, had to give like one month notice. my flight is after 2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
