Est Thanks Est. Yes still waiting here, but did you read my post above about them holding off the grant for people who have had medicals recently to send them in an Xmas card. Not sure if it's true but I e-mailed my agent today to ask them to email CO for a nudge. So glad your house is complete!! Well done on house let also, gives you peace of mind for when you arrive. Have you been to Safety Bay before? Lucy x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eweasel Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Lucy - It could be true I haven't see any granted whoop whoops lately - fingers crossed and roll on Christmas!!!! We have visited Safety Bay, we walked there from Rockingham when we stayed there over Christmas last year. It sounds lovely and just up our street - the only thing is that its about 40 minutes from where OH could be working so perhaps it will only be for a short time ;-) Est x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucysdream Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Just started looking at Safety Bay for rentals, they seem good prices. Do you know how far is it from Perth, via car & public transport? Do you know if you can get rentals online for like 6 month lease's, rather then going into a holiday let. I have just been looking on realestate.com.au website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hunker Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Hi all, Im new here .I have a quick question. I have applied under 176 category. My problem :- All docs sent as per CO requested. Status shows on 8th June :- Health requirements finalised and file processed further. But now on 30 August :-"Health requirements pending" I discussed with my Consultant ,and I am told to wait as he has sent an Email to CO. He says that at Sydney meds are in que so it's taking a while to reach CO.But Im not satisfied as why it would take 5 months (I did meds in April 2011) just to see PENDING status. Can anyone pls guide me . Can I call somewhere to get updation. My application filed from India,but I am in Canada on my PR status. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eva224 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Hi All, I have just started to research into visa options for moving to oz, and have a query in relation to the 176 visa in Victory, is it possible if I don't have a job on the state sponsered list to go as a second applicant on my partners visa, how long would this process take or would be be advisable to apply to WA where we both have jobs on the list. I would rather go to Victory but if WA is a safer bet for getting approved i would consider this. Does any one know if they are currently accepting state sponsered applications for Victory and WA and how long the wait is? Is a visa 176 much quicker than 175?

Love the way you call it Victory, very cool !:cool: State sponsorship is available in Victoria and WA depending if you or your partners job is on their list. WA tend to be quicker (less than 2 weeks) to get the sponsorship but remember you or your partner need to get your skills assessed first and do an IELTS test before you get to that stage. 176s are generally quicker than 175. It makes no odds who applies, you could both get your skills assessed (and get an extra 5 points on the visa points test) and then decide who will be the main applicant depending on the current available occupations in that state at that time (they get updated monthly).

lesleybruck Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 hi all congratulations to all that have gained there visa. We hve had to put ours on hold as the day before due to take medicals i discovered im pregnant, this make a big differnce to the visa as if we got the visa before had the baby we would then hve to apply for a seperate child visa after our child is born and this can be expensive. So the option we went for was to wait untill baby born then just add the baby on to the forms this doesnt cost anything. Bit disappoint that we hve had to put things back a few months but at least we get a cute little bundle in a few months time lol. So congrats to all hope the future goes well for you, i will keep u posted when we do eventuallly get our visa fingers crossed. We will proberbly be the last ones in the june gang now lol :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
