saadalvi13 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I want to ask if I should move to Uganda for a Job opportunity when my application process is so near to Grant (I think it is near to grant). I applied for 175 ICT Business Analyst back in June 2011 and was assigned a CO in January 2012. I haven't received any mail regarding medical yet but I believe it's a matter of a few months now. What I want to know is if I move to Uganda will the security process or further security checks come in place? Will it delay my visa grant due to Uganda being a high risk country? (I know that Pakistan is also a high risk country but still). I want help in this regard please someone guide me on this. Saad Alvi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I share your timeline as well except my CO was allocated in Feb 2012. I can only express my opinion on this matter i.e. if the job is important, pays well and you might commit to it for atleast a year, then go for it. That said, I would also like to advise you that an applicant sharing our timeline had lodged a complaint with IGIS and he was told to contact them if an outcome isn't reached by June 2013. So, again, it is up to you. I am currently in process of Passport renewal and would be hoping to FL med later this month. Hoping for "any" response by feb next year I guess.

If the opportunity is good, go for it but this may give rise to a delay of 2-4 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anjumh Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Brother your concern regarding duration of SC is genuine and I share your despair. I think that once SC commence, then they usually take 12-16 months before completion. Let us hope that the duration of SC will be substantially slashed in the near future. In any case, let us relish this waiting period. This too shall pass. I think our SC delays are due to unorganized concerned police department in our country. SC request are received by them and then kept in dusty files for months. Finally someone wakes up, if he wakes up, and send a reply. I don't think its going to change soon.

Yes in that case, if someone could shell out extra 3000$ and want to follow a risk free strategy, he should apply to 190 with 176 still running in parallel. Although this is still not for sure til what time 190s are granted without SC and probably in future 190 have to undergo sc as well. So lets wait and pray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bro, are you sure that SC requests are received by police department? Even assuming, for the sake of argument, that our files are collecting dust instead of getting vetted by the police department, it does not elucidate the fact that few applicants received PCC/Med request after only 11-12 months of CO allocation/form 80 submission, some others received a PCC/Med request after 14+ months of CO allocation and some are still waiting.

Dear Rezasol, Could you please let me know what is ur exact time line of application with details, becuase i emailed Co on 10th Dec 2012 and she replied back on 17th December saying that it will take three months or more till the finalisation of my case. Please let me know when did you apply and Co allocation date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezasol Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Go without it and take that paper as well.. its not really that much of an issue as it was in past.. a lot of countries allow travel without actual label and only on the basis of one paper document. you'll get a centrelink card or something similar that'll show you're a PR so label isn't really needed in OZ.. One more thing I want to ask you guys.. whats up with the protector stamp on passport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 i don't think 190's are being granted without SC's. Probably with SCs, but may be very short SCs. Something drastic has really happened with the SCs. 175/6 taking 12+ months for SC and for 190 SC complete within 3 months. So I think they dont do much detail check with the local authorities of the country, otherwise how can we explain such sudden drop in sc timelines especially for 190.
