Gordon Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 We applied in September 2010. Visa was approved yesterday. No idea why things happened so quick as we were expecting to wait 18-24 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mb_jg Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 We sent our application in March 2008. 2299-79 Business & Information Professionals. Haven't heard anything at all from either our agent or DIAC. Kinda given up hope, atleast if we are not getting the visa they should cap it off, in which way we atleast get a refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest VXM665 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Reply for an application lodged on 12th August 2010 for 175. The new deadline for 18th March e-mail receivers seems to be 30th September. Disappointing! Dear Client, Thank you for your email in relation to your visa application under Australia's General Skilled Migration program. Thank you for your enquiry and your advice that you have completed all items requested in this email. I note your concern that you have not yet been contacted by a case officer in regards to your General Skilled Migration (GSM) application. I can confirm that applicants in Priority Group 3 who were emailed in March 2011 are still expected to have their application considered shortly. As explained in this email, priority processing arrangements are in place covering the order of assessment of GSM applications. These arrangements are set in a Direction issued by the Minister and must be followed. Applications from people who are nominated by a state or territory government agency with a nominated occupation that is specified on that state or territory?s state migration plan continue to be allocated as the highest priority. A higher than anticipated number of higher priority applications have been received in recent months, impacting the Department's ability to allocate cases within your priority group. Despite this, GSM can confirm that the assessment of applications in your priority group continues each week in significant volumes, after the allocation of any outstanding higher priority applications. It is now expected that you will be contacted by your case officer by 30 September 2011. We request that you allow this period of time for your application to be assessed before contacting the Department. You may continue to undertake any of the requirements of the March 2011 email that are incomplete, referring to the guidance provided in that email. In the meantime you may wish to follow the published dates for GSM applications currently being considered, available by sending a blank email to gsm.processing@immi.gov.au. Yours sincerely, Norbert O Reference:http://britishexpats.com/forum/showt...709815&page=16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenpen87 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Hi all and congratulations to those who have received their visa's! I applied for family sponsored 176 visa on the 16th June 2011. I've uploaded most of my documents. I'm wanting to get everything out the way so I can just wait for the result. Would I be silly applying for medicals and police checks now?? Also, to those who have received their approved visa applications recently, is the 12 month validation period from the date your visa was approved? Thanks guys and let the wait begin :cute: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jen257 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 hi dose your CO asked only for only one evidence of residency for your sponsor ? because i have submitted 4 evidences ( water - elec. tel. - even the home contract ) of my sponsor Yes he's asked for one utility bill which he has now received. We have done everything else, the only thing we are waiting for is the medical document department who are holding my non migrating stepsons medical report. We had to do that one by post as there was no link to submit it online like we did with all the others. Our deadline is 11 July. I'm hoping the other dept are going to hurry up and clear his medical soon. There isn't anything else to do now but wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jen257 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Dear All family sponsored visa applicants,I have just finished uploading all documents required in the check list. Did you upload form 80 or not? Is it required to be uploaded ? We did not upload form 80. We have them scanned and ready but our case officer hasn't asked for them.

stevelacey Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Hi guys, This is a great thread and it's nice to see that we are not the only ones in this particular boat. We lodged our e-visa today and I wonder if you might be able to answer some questions for us? When we looked online after lodging it has a list of documents, medicals etc that all have 'required' next to them. From reading other posts, it seems that a lot of folks hang on until a CO asks them for these docs. Would we be able to organise and upload them now - well, in the next week or so? If so, what would be out next step? Steve and Pip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To upload documents go here https://www.ecom.immi.gov.au/visas/attachment/start.do?attachType=VISA_APPLICATION&group=travel You can start uploading documents straight away then its done. However, hang back from filling out forms 80 and 1221 (which will be listed as required documents from diac in the email) as when you get a case officer (CO) they may not request them. Furthermore, hold back completing medicals and police checks, as they are only valid for a year and from what I've seen on here it can take the best part of a year to get a CO. Or even if you have a CO, you only have a year to validate the visa from the earliest date on either your medical or police check, not a year from the visa being granted. Hope this helps:cute: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps:cute: Hi Jenny, That's great. My wife is also a nurse. Can I ask - when you filled your visa in, what reference number did you put for the skills assessment bit? AHPRA have written to my wife to say she is eligible but have not provided any number at all - not even a reference number for the letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AHPRA have written to my wife to say she is eligible but have not provided any number at all - not even a reference number for the letter. Hiya, no probs. When I applied for the skills assessment online with ANMAC they sent an application email which had an application reference number at the top of it, I used that. When I received my skills assessment in the post it also had this reference number on it. I'm not registered with AHPRA yet and such details were not asked for when I lodged my visa application.
