garethLW Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hiya We also got our confirmation through this morning. What a relief and I've been genuinely shocked by how quickly this all came together after our visa forms were submitted. Massive 3 year wait is now over and now comes the fun bit of organising how and when to move. We're also heading to Melbourne Gareth, who have you booked flights with by the way, did you get a good deal on one-way? Congratulations. We booked with Singapore- I did it in May. But secured a flexible ticket should things have not worked out in time. 2 adults, 3 kids came in at £2800. Thats the cheapest they do. We're having a one night stop in Singapore to break the journey up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithinoz Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Just a quick update for anyone who is waiting for medicals to be uploaded - spoke to the clinic this morning and ehealth is still down - there is also a message on the DIAC website now too. Clinic confirmed that this is causing backlogs of meds to be uploaded and people should be prepared for delays - great eh! Knew I should have pre loaded them!

smithinoz Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Oh anyone who had meds on or after 9th June are affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val Tibenham Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Well I don't know how to say this...... em........ we got the grant this morning. thanks for all your support the last while during my meltdowns and panics. lets hope the rest of the day has more grants for us may gang folk. Well you may have guessed myself & OH use same logon details here. Woken at 6am to shouts of "permanent residency"!!!!!! Wouldn't believe it until I read the email for myself. Still shocked. All I can say is that agents are NOT always right. He kept seeking additional employment evidence which we couldn't get and with my stern email on Thursday I forced him to submit what we had and although he wasn't too keen on doing so.......it was enough!!! Ok I know my OH has thanked you all for the support but I want to thank you too. You all kept us going and kept us positive and can't wait to meet up in person. When you're feeling like you're never going to get to the end of the road with this visa planning, trust me when I say IT WILL happen. Now C'mon have give us some more May grants!!!!! Fabulous news for you both :jiggy: Thanks Jars, oddly enough I had booked a days leave from work off tomorrow because I just needed a break so we can definitely party tonight!!!!! You must have known, somehow - party, party, party :yes::yes: Just a quick update for anyone who is waiting for medicals to be uploaded - spoke to the clinic this morning and ehealth is still down - there is also a message on the DIAC website now too. Clinic confirmed that this is causing backlogs of meds to be uploaded and people should be prepared for delays - great eh! Knew I should have pre loaded them! X That's a bummer for all of you waiting on your meds to be finalised - you'd think they'd be able to get it fixed, and up and running, in double quick time, particularly right now :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithinoz Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Indeed Val. The clinic seems to think it will be a nightmare right up to 1 July now as clinics rush to upload their backlogs and last minute medicals. As long as office manager doesn't come off the SOL2 list I'm fairly relaxed about it all. How is you application progressing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fergamy Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 So lovely to wake up to your Fabulous News fergamy - kicking ass with the agent did the trick! no change on my status either.

smithinoz Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hi Smithinoz, do you know if this means clinics will have to revert to paper applications submitted via courier? No, I think they still prefer online submissions, but as there is now a backlog back to meds completed on or after the 9th June, the clinic is just warning people to prepare for delays. I think they plan to upload them in date order. Plus I guess if everyone rushes back on to the system as soon as it is working again, they will prob crash it! Not great news for us though. I just plan to keep an eye on the Immi website and cross everything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waitingawhile Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 :swoon:You do know that just coz the system has crashed, it does not mean I won't still wake in the middle of the night at least twice to check!:nah: My meds do show as up loaded on the 15th- does this mean that they haven't really do you think? or is it just that they cant access them?

If you check the document checklist on the visa status thingy again, you'll proabbly find that forms 26EH and 160EH are still listed as requested.

shelly23 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Oh anyone who had meds on or after 9th June are affected. :arghh: Fan-bloody-tastic is all I can say. I called my clinic was told was up and running but just slow, but my med/bloods/xray are all there and ok, just need to be uploaded. By the look of it my OH medicals he had done in Kenya will get there and sorted before mine. Just more waiting, hopefully though they may take pity on us and give us the grant the next day. Fingers crossed anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's the thing you see, on the front page they all show as received! Bloods xrays the whole kit and kaboodle-this is what confused me! Dr Smith also told me they would all be uploaded that weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
