Nosferatu Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 GOOD NEWS! VISA GRANTED! :jiggy: Thanks to Almighty Allah. Finally I received an answer to my prayers. I am 176 FS Pakistani applicant who had lesser hopes of visa grant in this Year due to filling of FS Quota of 4200. So it seems that the cap n freeze of FS Quota is melting. Good luck to all applicants awaiting their silver and golden emails. The support of the forum members has been a source of alleviation during the painful waiting process. Thanks to all forum members. Could anyone suggest any threads which could guide me further in our process in moving to OZ. My timeline is below:- IELTS 8|176-Accountant (Skilled Sponsored)|Applied 05-10-2010|CO Assigned 23-06-2011|Form_80 submitted 26-06-2011|Med/PCC Request 11-09-2012|Med/PCC uploaded 25-09-2012|Medicals/PCC Finalized 14-12-2012! Visa Grant 30-01-2013. :hug: Congrats. So a well deserved golden mail at last.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonz Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Wonderful news. Why were they finalized after 13 weeks? Thanks buddy! No idea about the 13 weeks. The spread of finalization of MEDs for applicants included is mind-boggling given that there was no pre-condition. Infant got finalized a week after being referred, elder kid mid-Jan'13 and then finally wife & I on 22nd Jan. At the time of MEDs referral everything else stood MET. Virtually drained myself through this marathon wait.:goofy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosferatu Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Yes being 176, I now feel like a convicted criminal Convicted criminals are sentenced to several years in prison.

imi Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 :laugh: Just on a lighter note. Rule of Thumb: (very beneficial for new applicants ) In any immigration system, be it UK, Canada, Australia, NewZeland - The new upcoming immigration systems is always fast, efficient and quick, whereas the old system has backlogs, buggy system, slow processing and unpredictable timelines. So if you are applying to immigrate to a country, just check whether a new system is coming or not. If new one is coming better apply in the new one, because the new one is always fast track and has to be met with service standards, whereas the old system folks can wait. If you have applied in the old one, forget it and generate a new application in the new system so the new one gets processed quickly while your application in the old system might take ages to finalize.
