malik Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Planning to visit adelaide in April. Just reserved the tickets today Cathay pacific+qantas: return ticket for Rs.78k baggage capacity is 23kg only. Much less than emirates but these is a considerable amount of saving (emirates return ticket is Rs.134k). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msvayani Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Did you get the MED/PCC call from the CO or you are going to front-load MEDs? Lets see .. I've read on one of the forums that they usually contact current employer if you've been working there for more than 3 years. Again.. not confirmed. In my case, I've provided them with; - Appointment Letter, Confirmation Letter, Promotion Letter - Salary Slips - Bank Statements (referencing the salary slips) - Tax Certificates etc. etc. In other news, went to IOM Karachi office for medicals today. They did both my physical and other tests on the same date. I'd learnt the eye testing chart btw.. I don't know why I do that everytime lol.. The madam that took my blood test was, let's just say, not skilled. Veins in my right hand were swollen as hell at the time of the test because she couldn't find the vein.. It's still hurting!! sigh.. Anyway.. I went at 8:30 and was done by 9:45ish it took 15 more minutes because I'd forgotten the money and they don't accept credit/debit cards.. so had to run out to the nearest HBL ATM for cash.

jalils Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Hi All, Finally after almost 3.5 years I got my PR. I thought my timeline may be a little bit of help, so here it is : Applied 886 State sponsor in September 2009 Occupation removed from the SMP in 2009 (Don’t remember exactly what date) so my case felt down under category 5 Occupation added to SMP in November 2011 CO allocated December 2011 form 80 requested December 2011 further information requested on June 2012 Medicals frontloaded in November 2012 PCC requested In February 2013 Visa Grant 5 days after PCC submitted Therefore guys, just don’t lose hope even if you have already waited for a long time. It will be granted no matter what.

DamascusBlade Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Congratulations!! Btw.. do we have anyone whose CO was allocated between Dec and Jan 12' who has yet to receive the med call? Salamalaikum fellas, like many I have been a silent member reading posts to get the idea of activities regarding the matter. Brother Rezsol, I was allocated CO on 20-Dec-2011...took the medical exam on 28-Jan-2013 without being asked by CO...I guess this is FL? The DIAC it seems is taking around 15-16 months for 175-176 aplicants from end of 2012. May ALLAH bless us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
