Bluecatcollectables Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 We've finally got our visa this morning! Initial entry by 4 Oct 2012...... Mandy x Hi Mandy, Sorry to sound ignorant, but does 'initial entry by 4 Oct 2012' mean you have nearly 1 year to actually VALIDATE your visa? And then subsequently another 5 years to make up your mind? I thought DIAC only give you at most 6 months to do the initial visit of Oz and thereby validating your visa?

They give you one year from the date of your police checks or medicals which ever is first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sachinmathias Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Congratulations to all who got COs allocated and Grants!!! My latest status is all my document checklist turned MET, only Malaysia PCC is awaited. Malaysia PCC takes 2 months to be issued...arrgggghhhh. I guess because of this I missed 2 chances for Visa Grant last week when my Document Checklist was updated by the CO. Cheers Sachin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vzdrul Sharikoff Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Just looked at our online checking & we've got a 176. Anne, 2nd page still hasnt changed so don't bother looking at that anymore, only the front page changed to 'applicant approved'! And to tell us that another email has been sent. Mandy x Do you mean that all your documents are still with a 'Required' status? And, sure, have my best and heartiest congratsssss on your visa !!:wubclub: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least on the forums I visit. hi, feel bad if thats the case. it should be first come first serve. i cant imagine you waiting long for a case officer if you applied in march. from our experience it was 3 months from co assigned to visa grant so fingers crossed.my partners family were also around 3 months for visa after co assigned.(visa grant nov/10) did you apply in march or visa lodged in oz in march. we sent our app on 24th of april and recieved e-mail that it had been lodged on 5/5/11 (so application official) where you guys heading? good luck, iam sure its just round the corner. thanks.

Guest Lori2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Well, CO allocations seems to have been stopped this week, or maybe they are silently working. At this pace, i dont think the next update will be to far from feb 1st.... Well, lets see how friday develops in Adelaide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have inside contacts....!! :wink: You must tell us your secret! Quick question, I see from your dates that you got a CO in June, but didnt submit your medicals until end of September, what did the CO ask for between getting a CO and being ask to submit meds & PCC's?

Not sure but as I believe it you was cat 3 before July changes and this is when you got your CO as you was a higher priority then I think this would explain things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
