littlegreenman Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 The acknowledgment email we have all received post lodgement clearly lists both form 80 and 1221 as required forms. We didn't want to gamble and get our application rejected just because we didn't provide these within 28 days. So I suggest tonight or on Sunday arvo you open a nice bottle of wine, sit down with your spouse and fill out the forms. It can't hurt. We found it to be a great couple activity filling out 1221 together and complaining about the many questions. :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vickchick70 Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 The forms are filled in and ready to go - is it just me or are the questions so repetitive on the form 80 and 1221 and what we filled in already on the online applcation ??!!

Very repetitive indeed. The reason is that they use these forms for all kinda of visas. I can't blame them for wanting to standardise everything. The downside is that we feel we are providing the same information over and over again. Looking at the bright side the reward for filling out a simple form is enormous and it helps keeping our ... errrr I mean their borders safe. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlegreenman Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Hi all, I just wanted to give a brief update on someone else who's applying for a 475 (also cat 3). He applied on Sept 27th and got a CO on Wednesday the 12th. Simple maths says we should be due towards the middle or end of next week. Good luck everyone. My birthday is on the 20th so it would be nice to get the email then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy79 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Can I join your group? I lodged my 176 on Friday 14th Oct, SA has sent confirmation of my SS to DIAC. I have started to upload all my documents. Will do my form 1221 this week and I'm going to wait to see if CO requests form 80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy79 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 how do you know state sponsorship has been confirmed to diac ?? Not sure if it's different for different states, but I had to tell SA via their online system what my TRN is, then they send something to DIAC (I think it was called form 1100). SA sent me an email to say they've sent the confirmation to DIAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlegreenman Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Hi Amy79. Welcome aboard our thread and good luck. As I mentioned earlier to elderberry the form 80 is mentioned as one of the 28 days documents in the confirmation email from DIAC. I wouldn't gamble but just do it since it is much quicker and simpler than 1221. Fingers crossed for a good week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cathp Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 HI I don't live in the UK but I do live in Canada, so also a Low Risk Country. I did apply on October 2nd. My husband and myself will immigrate to Perth. Looking very much forward to get rid of the cold winter. Hope that we are all receiving exciting news over the next couple of weeks :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlegreenman Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Hi Cathp, I reckon you should get your CO any day now. Do you have a rough idea when you want to move yet? We are headed for Perth as well and I think so is RobynT84. Pretty good to know there will be some people going through the same experience in the same place.:wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RobynT84 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Hi Again, Yes, Hopefully going to Perth; all depends on where the work is for my husband. It's great to know there are others applying at the same time as us on here. Hopefully we can get an idea from each others timelines. We went for SA SS first and waited over 3 months for them to say no, then got a yes from WA within 30 hours! Fingers crossed that the visa's continue processing at their current rate! :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cathp Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Good news everyone. we just received the first email from our CO. We did apply Oct 2. So I bet that lots of you will have a reason to celebrate this week. We need to send some additional docs plus Form 80 for everyone and medicals and police records. @ littlegreenman we are still planning to go this year end of Nov beginning of Dec. Depending on the visa. Looks like my hubby is also signing a contract with a company this week and they will pay our relocation. Just way to many good news for one week. Keeping my fingers crossed that all of you hear soon from you CO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
