Guest cathp Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Anyone here in this group that is going to a doctor that is not EHealth registered. Our doctor will need to send the docs to Australia however don't know yet where too. We do have a CO, but they are still checking some extra documents that they requested and we have our medical appointment November 1. Other questions, do you upload the police records or do you have to mail them to Australia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always have to be sent to global health in Sydney, regardless of where your CO is located. http://www.immi.gov.au/gateways/panel_doctors/conducting_medicals/where_to_send_australian_visa_medical_results/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlegreenman Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Thanks Littlegreenman. You just know the answers to everything. Highly appreciated. No problem... that is the result of no CO being assigned and impatiently trying to pre-empt whatever I can. Going mad waiting for that email from the CO since we are going to leave the country for two weeks on Monday and I need a letter from the CO to be able to ask for an exception to be issued a police cert here in Singapore. :goofy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will have a CO assigned shortly. for sure this week. Things are happening so quickly and then we are all in OZ by the end of the year. Are you going to Perth too?

Sorry about that :wink: We couldn't front load everything since Singapore won't issues us police certs without a letter to them from DIAC. So our CO only requested the police certs and medical.

I should feel bad too, but I reckon the rest of you will get a CO soon and then I'll get stuck on the 'final checks' stage! Time will tell. Littlegreenman - you gone online to check your status?

Guest NeilanGemz Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I wouldn't panic about not being assigned a CO just yet, I applied 29th Sept and didn't get one until after a lot of people that had applied in October, I guess all apps just go on a pile that gets sorted in no particular order. Judging on the current processing times though I would definately recommend everyone to front load everything that they can. Good Luck everyone:biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlegreenman Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Littlegreenman - you gone online to check your status? Has everything gone to met for you too except for medical and police checks? I had to apply by paper as the 175 application was lodged online and you can only have one online application at a time. Hence no online checking I am afraid. On a separate note, our CO seems to be a really nice chap and his responses are very prompt. He requested an AFP police certificate from me since I lived in Oz July 2003 to July 2004. When I told him it was actually less than 12 full months and gave him the exact dates he responded promptly (5 mins) that I didn't need to provide it. Still waiting for the acknowledgement email for the UK/ACPO. Do you guys know whether they send them via registered mail or normal mail? Thanks!

Guest Lpkm Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Hi guys whats the first sign that you have a CO? Is it that the document checklist page starts having met displayed rather than required? I have front loaded pretty much everything I can think of so I might not get an email immediately. Just wondering how I will know. :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly Bingo! That's why we did it ourselves (although when I was bombarded with paperwork I did wonder whether an agent would have been easier) .... and i'm frustrated enough with the time difference between us and OZ, never mind having to also wait for an agent to get back to you lol Least you have the peace of mind you are doing everything correctly. I'm a bit worried about our 12 months proof of work experience as my Oh went self employed, so no tax returns due yet, obviously has no payslips...have just included a selection of bank statements, job references and a Statutory declaration...will find out in due course I guess x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering how I will know. :huh: I was just wondering the same thing, actually. The status of ours changed to 'Application being processed further' with yesterdays date. I don't know if this means someone's looking at it or if it's automatic...? Any ideas anyone?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pollo Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Our status is 'application received - processing commenced' with the date of application, so probably you have been assigned to a CO.. Can't waiiiiiiiit!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
