I can see that you waited for 5 days only to have your AOS approved, what's your magic? Did you call the hotline everyday?

Can you please explain in detail,  1.  which Form to upload? (We should not fill online Form?)  2. Which Bar Code to scan? (From where we get Bar Code?)

[Biggsy]

Question to any 143 applicants please who may have gone to Australia on a subclass 600 (probably with a return ticket) but hoping to have been granted your 143 visa during your stay.
Did anyone ship any household items at the same time? (not large things like furniture, beds etc.) If so did you have to do anything special for customs etc. for when your shipment arrived?  Or, did you perhaps decide to leave everything in storage at home until your visa was granted?  Thanks in advance to all!

Hi Greece,

after you receive the Bank guarantee request letter, you need to open a term deposit at the Commonwealth bank. Commonwealth Bank will issue the account documents for you. Those documents will be about 9-10 pages.

In the Bank guarantee request letter, it say “ please provide the BG and your account documents issued by Cba ALONG WITH THIS LETTER within 14 DAYS of receiving this letter” 

you can choose to upload THAT LETTER + Cba account documents online or take it to Local Centrelink office. I choose to do online because i have my gov account and Centrelink app on my phone

after sign in Centrelink app, you choose “ upload document” ~~>>> then you choose “ Centrelink form “ ~~~>>> then you choose “ scan bar code “ 

the bar code i am taking about is the one on the top left corner of the Bank Guarantee request letter. You use your phone’s camera to scan that bar code

next step is take a photo/ scan/ upload all the document you have 

by that way Centrelink can process your document quick & accurate. 
 

I attach some picture below FYI ( select the one I circle )

Hope that can help you. Gluck with your visa

Yes I did last year on a 600. All small household kitchen items, pictures, lamp, throws, couple of coats Cd’s etc

. 8 book boxes and 1 tea chest size. Just listed all contents on the forms Anglo provided nothing special.  It went in a shared container. customs  did not examine anything. Used Anglo Pacific took  6 weeks door to door cost £450

Hi can I ask advice of people who’ve paid 2nd VAC from the uk.  Did you use a bank to pay this, or some other way?  Obviously looking for the cheapest and easiest way....and I don’t have an Australian bank account at the mo!

We transferred money in to our son in laws Australian bank account, sent him details from 2nd vac request form and he did it via mobile banking. BPAY is free but not all bank accounts let you use BPAY. The request form from PVCteam gives you options of how you can pay. Son in law sent me a copy of his payment receipt and I sent it to PVCteam as proof of payment (after all the trouble we had with the AOS payment). We had set up a bank account in Australia a couple of years ago and transferred money across a couple of months ago when the rate was relatively high.

Hi Biggsy,

We came out to Australia on a 600 visa in June 2018. We used Seven Seas to ship our stuff and we filled a large Movecube. Seven Seas provided all the forms to fill in and we had to give a detailed list of what was in each box. One of the conditions of the move (from Seven Seas) was that we had to have a suitable visa. Of course, having a 143 visa is very suitable. A 600 visa was also suitable.

We shipped our stuff 6 weeks before we flew and it arrived in Australia 90 days later. Seven Seas provided a door to door service. Customs will most certainly have studied our paperwork but it didn’t look like they had opened our Movecube.

I would highly recommend Seven Seas.

Good luck
David

[Biggsy]

Thanks David we are also considering a large Movecube with Seven Seas when the time comes.  All depends on the how the timing for the 143 goes towards the end of next year. Will probably have had enough of waiting by then either way 

[florafilan]

Received 2 VAC payment request late in the afternoon yesterday  

So relieved that the waiting is over.  4 years and 17 days of it.

Good luck everyone.

I have uploaded the documents using your method, hopefully I will get the approval letter in a week time

Thanks!
