Not sure how that works though I believe that a bank cheque is the Aus equivalent of a UK banker's draft. But I thought I saw ages ago that somebody did an electronic transfer, although that's not an option on the request for payment, so maybe I imagined it or the payment options have been changed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed that you will have your visa by the end of the month. Finally with NanaJan getting her visa and Kpnuts, Amytran 1, Brenda M and Gafuk being processed it looks as if things are on the move again. About time, this waiting room is getting mighty crowded! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will let you know any strange or startling quirks that trip us up along the way.ni was surprised (and pleased) to find that here in NSW the owner pays the service charges and the local taxes. Wish us luck! Hope the move went smoothly and you settle in quickly ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure of the exact dates as this last part has been a bit of a whirlwind. My daughter had her interview at Centrelink, lodged the $14,000 bond and the AoS application was accepted and uploaded to Immigration on 30th August. All the other documents were already with the agent. The medicals were completed back in July. On the 8th September we were asked to pay the 2nd VAC. We had already transferred the necessary sum from the UK and so arranged a bank cheque which was posted to the PVC by express post on 11th September. We booked a trip to Bali and flew out of Australia on 16th September. From my sun lounger by the pool I can confirm our visas were granted today, the 18th September. We return to Australia on Wednesday and can start both work and serious house-hunting. I cannot believe that after all this time it has actually happened. Keep the faith those of you in the waiting room. Many congratulations now you can really settle and start your new lives ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lalaland Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Hi, Everyone, I 'm having a mental breakdown right now about 2nd PVC. I am in urgent need of your help. I'm on the email requested by PVC, they stated that: If you choose to pay by "Bank cheque", then "File reference number must be included with the payment". Does this mean that our FRN must be presented on the cheque itself? or Should the FRN be written somewhere else, like on the envelope I send it with or on a separate piece of paper? My bank said we should put the FRN on the cheque as well, next to the payee " The Department of Immigration and border protection", they also recorded it in their system as the number means " File reference number" for my receipt. Will have an FRN next to Immi'd name (Payee) prevent them from cashing it? I sent the cheque without sending any other letter to tell them that it's for our application since I have the FRN on my cheque. I am worrying sick guys. I am so worried that Immi might not be able to cash it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have written the file number on the back of the bank cheque, and sent it to the PVC with a hard copy of the VAC request letter. So long as the file reference appears somewhere on the bank cheque all should be well. Best regards. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
