Some seem useless ! I submitted one day before you and no CO yet, still I can handle that as a next July move is a bit soon for us. Don't want to book the meds until we really have to and the £670 is a bit hard to find right now ! :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm dying to get a CO so I can smash the med's and pcc's, praying to have it all sorted by September when my WHV runs out so I can stop in the UK for a couple of weeks and come straight back over!! Cant be bothered to find a job for ???? amount of time so looks like i'm gonna be eating in to Oz funds until the yes comes!!! :arghh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarab Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Do you think it is 100% necessary to wait for a CO to have the meds though - as we have to get them done anyway? Or do you think they will tell us which ones to have or do we hve to have them all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you think they will tell us which ones to have or do we hve to have them all? You can book them as soon as you've lodged if you want - "front loading" your visa app if you get the results on before your CO is assigned (plus your police checks too). This starts the 12 month to validate clock ticking though ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you think they will tell us which ones to have or do we hve to have them all? I booked ours on Tuesday and we don't have a CO yet. If WA sent the 1100 to DIAC yesterday like they said then in theory we should have a CO within 2 weeks anyway. We're away on hols in July so wanted to get them out the way before we go otherwise we'd be waiting until August but if we don't have a CO by the end of the month I can always rebook the meds for later, they only charge a cancellation fee if cancelled within 3 working days.

sarab Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 What do you mean the 12 month to validate clock ticking? (forgive my ignorance!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chardy Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 What do you mean the 12 month to validate clock ticking? (forgive my ignorance!) It's OK. Assuming your visa gets granted on say 20th July you would have to fly to Oz to validate your visa within 12 months of the date on your meds or PCCs whichever is older which may be say 20th June. You can always come back home and make the permanent move within 5 years then I think. :err: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had heard 5 years, but hadn't heard about the 12 month thing, I want to get there as soon as possible, so the 12 month thing isn't an issue for me :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest canadiantooz Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Hello Everyone, Can I join this thread please as I will be lodging 176 visa Tassie SS tomorrow. I have couple of questions: 1. Do I need to upload the photos for all family members and are there any specific dimensions? 2. Do I need to download Form 80 and 1221, complete, scan, and upload them; or will they be part of online application itself. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam and craig Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Emailed them and they emailed us today.How much are your medicals that you have booked (if you don't mind me asking?) it does say not to do it until you have a case officer? hi check outThis. just in from the ASPC today: I am wanting to decrease the time taken from allocation of a GSM visa application to a case officer and finalisation of the application. To help achieve this, we would like to invite some applicants who do not yet have case officers allocated but are expected to have case officers allocated in coming months to commence obtaining and providing standard documentation that may not have been provided with their application or has expired. Attached is a notice which provides details of which applicants we would suggest "front end load" their applications in this way. Similar information will be included in the next update to the auto response from gsm.processing@immi.gov.au , which provides details of what applications have been allocated to case officers. please circulate to MIA Members. This is not a request for information and in any cases where this information is not provided prior to allocation, the case officer will take this up after allocation. Similarly any questions regarding such applications should wait until a case officer is allocated and contacts the agent / applicant. Agents / applicants who upload or email documents in response to the invitation should not separately advise GSM of this as this does not impact on the date cases are allocated. You will note in the invitation we suggest only clients from low risk countries proceed with "front end loading", however, you may on the basis of your experience choose to also do this for applicants outside of those we have suggested. The following text explains who should be front-end loading now: Health & Character Clearances for GSM Applications PRIORITY GROUP 2 (STATE MIGRATION PLAN) All applicants who meet the following eligibility criteria (Points 1 & 2 below) are invited to proceed to obtain health and character clearances now. 1. The application was lodged under one of the following visa subclasses: • Skilled – Independent (Migrant) visa (subclass 175) pre 1/7/2010, • Skilled – Sponsored (Migrant) visa (subclass 176), • Skilled – Regional Sponsored (Provisional) visa (subclass 475), • Skilled – Regional Sponsored (Provisional)visa (subclass 487), • Skilled - Independent (Residence) visa (subclass 885) pre 1/7/2010, or • Skilled – Sponsored (Residence) visa (subclass 886), AND 2. A case officer has not yet contacted you about the application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
