Marilyn Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 @Bev50Bradley that IS a wonderful Xmas present. Now you can relax and enjoy your Xmas. Shows you that the auto reply is only an indication where they are a week or two on either side. It’s moving forward and that’s excitement for us all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping your invitation comes soon. Sorry, only just seen this message, I don’t know which is, but have previously dealt with the Cannington office for my Medicare card, so I will probably go there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone else also mentioned about re applying for their next 12mths? Am confused! This is mine..... Apologies for the very, very late reply!! I have only just seen the message. Both of my 600 visas have not had the health insurance condition or the no further stay, or max 12 in 18 month! i think I have been very lucky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Bev50Bradley, Thats great to here, because Cannington is the closest Centre link office for me as well. I know there’s a lot of time for my mum, but I’m gathering all the info whenever the oppertunity arises. It’s so exciting to see the queue moving fast.

David Leask Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 We received a lovely early Christmas gift today - a request from Immi to provide Form 80, Police Checks, Medical Checks and to commence our AoS application! Our lodgement date was 16 July 2015. Still some way to go but it was fantastic to hear from the PVC. 8 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judy Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Centrelink are issuing AOS rejection letters in error. As they are so far behind their system is not recognising when documents have been provided by the applicant and is automatically sending a rejection letter. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean T Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 So sorry to see your timeline taking 8 months already from when you were first asked for more documents, something must be done about AOS as it really is taking far too long. Fingers crossed you don’t have to wait much longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marilyn Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) @Kathss56 It is so difficult to take these dates to heart as I know some who lodged on 03rd, 07th, 10th and 16th July 2015 were asked for documents since last Friday (14th) but they saying up to 1st July 2015 - I don't mind IMMI are doing just fine and can continue at this speed or quicker if they feeling energetic !
