hmsmark Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Thanks. Do you have to go to London? To be honest I don't know what you have to do these days to get the visa stamp!!:eek: I live in the US, so this may not help you that much, but if there is an Australian Consulate closer than the Embassy, then you may bet your visa "evidenced" there. Of course, I don't honestly know if or where there are Oz Consulates in the UK, but a nearby Consulate in Chicago will save me a long trip to Washington.

Guest JohnAnton Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Any useful tips when doing the meds? I've read somewhere that it is advisable to drink lots of water so that the urine test would yield good results. Also, wear your best undies. any additional inputs? We are planning to have our meds tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, wear your best undies. any additional inputs? We are planning to have our meds tomorrow We didnt drink lots of water before going as we had a long journey & didnt want to keep stopping, but I have read that so not sure if it makes any difference. Best undies.....well I did make a special trip to M&S but it was all in vain as I wasn't even asked to undress:no:. Only advice I would give is that if you do have any existing medical condition, make sure that you take recent letters or info for them to pass onto DIAC. Mine was referred but I took lots of letters & they were finalised within 2 days so I obviously gave them all the info they needed. Other advice.....really dont worry, the worst part is paying for it at the end! Good Luck, Mandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taniaholmes Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I did - he won't - he says I am being impatient and that official dates are not beyond my date. He's probably right :wink: Yeah he probably is but you pay his wages and you pay him to communicate instead of you doing it, I really hope you hear something soon.

taniaholmes Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Sorry blonde moment, what do we have to do and where do we have to go once we have our grant with our passports n get them stamped??? Soz I know I'm not making much sense Tired Zzzzz You don't have to get them stamped as its on the system when you go through the airport, I wanted to take the kids to London before we go to Australia as they have never been so I thought it would be a good idea to get the stamp at the same time, now hear is my brown moment I don't know where you go as yet to get the stamp as I haven't looked into it hoping someone will come along and give us that info:biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eng32 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Just warning everyone that even though all our work experience turned to "MET" 12 days ago, my husbands work got a phone call from DIAC, and they did not contact the Manager who wrote the reference but a office Manager who does not know really what he does...... nightmare, luckily she consulted OH Manager before replying to varify job role.........:eek::cry: seems like she gave a slightly different job title, instead of the generic ansco code title, i'm very angry now, and hope this does not spoil things for us.

Eng32 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Eng32, what team is your CO from? Team2, the call was from the Integrity officer,not the CO. I think it was prompted by our Agent submitting our form 80 on Monday:cry: i am worried now :eek::swoon::twitcy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive had a look online at the form now though still know nothing about it. Is this a statutory form or is there a process that causes one of these to be filled in? I just cant remember filling one of these or filling one of these online during the application process. My agent hasn't asked for one either.

It is a very detailed form about all your family, education, job, holidays over last 10 years and so on..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AndyH78 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 DCAL ditto, my case officer has "met" everything apart from PCCs and meds, and I've never filled in a form 80. In two minds again whether to tell my boss now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt fill out one like the version in the PDF listed below, but it could well have formed part of the online steps/process that I took when applying unless you have to submit this form separately??
