Guest romiranda Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 sorry but I thought this thread was about 856 visa and that's exactly what I'm talking about. someone else had the same doubt that I had if they should call, I'm telling my experience: don't bother. Would be nice if you could post on the right topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pintu Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Hi Guys, Does anyone know how the external checks process would work for ENS 856? Does it get initiated only after allocation of a CO? Do they take place even if the applicant is onshore? Are PCCs enough? (I have submitted all relevant PCCs with application). I am from a non-ETA (i.e. high risk) country. Just wondering because if there is no CO yet and once there is a CO followed by external checks, the wait gets even longer. Anyone in a similar situation and having clearer information, could kindly comment? regards, Pintu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The auto reply format changed and doesn't have the revision date. This is like reading a newspaper without a date and assuming you reading the latest edition.

Only other applicants must undertake same medical examination, it is a standard reply which you received, most likely because you did not complete your medicals. It will delay your processing with at least 3 weeks if you do your medical in Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
