rigman Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 If Skilled Sponsored under State migration plan then I dont think that you will be moved to Cat-5. but yes priority can be changed. may b u will move up or move down. In either case your case would be processed because you have one of the state approval which was given out of there allocated quota Considering the current statistics, I hope I get to be called for meds nearAug 13. The thing is, I am going to be married around this time and I fear it could prolong the security checks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosferatu Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 medical for me and wife got finalised in 2 days but my daughter got reffered...although Thanks Allah she is in perfect health....dont know the reason for reffered..on forums this is the case with majority of applicants...what i understand ..if ur not getting finalised in 7-10 days after medicals..u've got reffered. I didnt see any PK applicant's meds getting processed in less than 1 month nowadays (hellomer was an exception perhaps). Recently meds of nadi and AwaitingPR were processed within 33 days so this gives rise to another ambiguity. Why meds of some applicants are processed in 5-6 weeks whereas few others, purportedly enjoying good health, have to wait for 10+ weeks to receive the golden emails?

By "processing time" for meds, I meant the total duration between medical examination date and issuance of visa grant letter. Obviously FL meds are an entirely different story.

Nosferatu Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Really!!! Any idea how? Did they ever get referred? Dont know bro. I think, apart from few lucky ones, everyone gets referred. They may have a priority list for few occupations and processing of meds of applicants on that list is usually expedited. I am not sure if this is this case. This is only a conjecture predicated on my own views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash1981 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Good morning guys. I hope you all are doing fine. The subject caught to me so i thought about sharing my story here.. My MA lodged our application on 31/05/2012, CO assigned on 11/07/2012. We have been requested to provide the PCCs and MEDs on September 2012. After submission, they are shown as "finalised" in the online inquiry form since 11/09/2012. Since that time, i have been checking regularly to see if there is something new. Unfortunately, no! Our MA emailed the CO once in December 2012 and he said that all our documents are finalised and our application is undergoing a routine check (would someone explain what is a routine check). Our MA said it is not good to keep emailing the CO and asking for updates. As of today, there is no update. Everything is the same on the online inquiry form. Could it be possible that security check takes longer from country to country? I think 6 months with no response is long, don't you guys agree? It is worth mentioning that I was born in Saudi Arabia, i am holding an Egyptian Travel Document for Palestinian Refugees and so my kids. My wife has a passport issued by the Palestinian Authority but she was also born in Saudi Arabia. I would appreciate sharing your experiences with me! Thank you!

Hi Ash, It seems like you're application is going through security checks.. currently security checks for several of Pakistanis applicants are taking somewhere between 12 to 15 months. In any case, I would suggest hold fast and hope for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good morning and welcome to the forum. As mentioned by Rezasol, you are most probably being security screened right now. Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Palestine all are VHR countries and any applicant having passport/travel documents of these countries should brace themselves for a long wait. As most of the Pakistani applicants on this forum had to undergo extensive SC (average duration was around 12-13 months and it is steadily increasing), I believe that 6 months of SC with no response, for a VHR applicant, is not a considerable duration by any standards.
