We are still waiting on our police clearance forms to come back I wish theyd hurry up! Oh I feel such a sense of relief over the meds....it had us worried sick. Mind you until we all have that illusive visa nothing is assurred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jair Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Good news, our CO hasn't updated our requested info yet either... Nothing changed for me as well.... The pcc still shows required though I submitted last week. May be they do some investigation before changing everything to met :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dono Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Hey Dono,Husbands too got finalised this morning. Okay that's good... so yours were referred on 09/02, finalised 13/02. Hopefully my OH's will be finalised by the end of the week... I have a feeling that they take quite a thorough look through anything you submit. The way it seems to work is that the CO looks through everything and then only requests what is missing - so I think your stuff will be another day or two.

Yep! Team 2 is moving along quite quickly. Our CO seems to be really on the ball. Hopefully he'll kick the health people into high gear with my OH's stuff and get it finalised. It's the final final final outstanding on our application... so it's close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daydreamer88 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Well hubby got apt with specialist recommended by panel doctor for 12th March (next free appointment as this consultant specialist in diabetes) so its going to be a long wait for us to get this visa. Trying to be optimistic that we will be OK, just a little anxious that IF we do get a visa that we won't have a lot of time left from it been granted to get to Oz due to the fact we all had our medicals/PCC at start of feb. Ah well, will keep you all posted Emma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tina19 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Hey guys, you all seem to well on your way with visas so Im hoping you might be able to help me! Im qualified as an occupational therapist, but have already used my 1 year visa not sure which visa is the best to apply for,as there seems to be a few and finding it all a bit confusing! my boyfriend also wants to move and hes a plumber which I think comes under the skilled visa aswell! any info on how to apply/how long it takes/costs would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie38 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Thanks for that Dono and daydreamer88, trudging through all the VETASSESS stuff, looks do-able, so giving it a go. Degree is Food Technology (employed as Food TEchnologist for over 5yrs), but am gonna use Vetassess advisory team as last 2.5 yrs I've been employed as a Scientist in Water Industry , so am thinking they might question whether this deviation won't meet basic requirements of recent work experience (12 out of past 24 months in selected occupation) - can anyone shed any sort of light on this ??. Also....How long does this take from start to ... Annie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ack He is away for a week then fully booked and actually not supposed to be taking on any new patients. The panel doc seemed to think we have a better chance of getting a visa by having a report from this consultant so we will take guidance from him. TBH am glad he will be seeing this guy as all his diabetic care is done at the GP practice so it will be good to get an expert opinion on his health and medication. Everything just seems uncertain at the moment with the visa. Hopefully you're police checks will come back soon. Emma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie38 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Hi Emma We're also looking at SS in Victoria, been researching loads (only at very start of process), but am I being really dumb, I seem to have missed the bit detailing how you go about applying for state sponsorship. Who do you apply to - is there a form somewhere???? Cheers Annie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like diabeties is managable...isnt it? I couldnt imagine its a case for refusal. We were told so long as its no super dooper illness and going to cost the Australian tax payers- you're fine! Plus the threshold has been increased to AUS$35,000 that and I think there is some waiver ?? you can sign to say youl cover your own costs ? Not sure about that bit. Post a thread bout diabeties and visa grants. I know what you mean though...visa is one thing but health is another. Husband while his meds got finalised is going to check out what that thickening in his lungs is about. It gave me a real scare. ......................... Mr CO didnt look our our applic last night [i'll add I was up twice in the night to check!!] Maybe tonight! We sent them off an email and they said they try to respond in 7 working days meaning tonights the night! Im bit tired today to say the least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
