arrumac Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 So was thinking, in the May spreadsheet thingy, maybe if we put in a section for expected date of arrival in Oz and where we plan on living, what you guys think? yup - but seems not many are going to Melbourne! perhaps i'll send a cut out...

Well done on the people who have been granted. look forward to any info Cheers Welcome! CO allocation is anything from a couple of days to more than a month! There seems to be no system to it, so just stay patient and keep checking your emails ( so much easier said than done, I know!) :smile: None of the May gang have gone over yet but have a look in the 176 March gang as someone recently posted about their first few days in Perth. Good luck with your application! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kimberlyusa Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hi all on May gang, Sorry to bump into this thread as I applied 1/6 but since you all just recently went through your meds hoped you might have an answer to my question. Entire family completed meds on 19/6, Dr. office says they uploaded (ehealth) on 22nd and also overnighted a paper copy to Sydney that I tracked and was delivered Monday 25/6 but still nothing showing up as received when I check status. Is it suppose to take awhile? Starting to stress because our 28 days is running out soon from when requested by co on 7/6 and since co has not responded to any of my emails I am dreading having to make that phone call direct. Thanks for all help/advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Don't worry,, all will be fine I emailed our case officer after medical exams and said words to the effect; I wish to advise you that our med exams were completed on ............ I trust all is in order. Please advise me if you require any further info I expect they are backed up a bit with an influx of apps for the deadline Good luck with it all. you will hear very soon Millie x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talieandtribe Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hi, lots of grants since the last time I looked at the spreadsheet. Well done everyone. We are off for our medicals this morning. The bribery has already started... My 4 year old is the least willing. She still hasn't opened her mouth at the dentist or spoke to a stranger who doesn't work at the Disney store. I'm hoping she doesn't need to be touched or questioned. One sulky teenager, but she's happy to get the day off school.. Haven't told our lad yet. Made the OH put on black boxers instead of the Animal from sesame street he had picked out... as if anyone cares...and now I'm off to find an under wear set suitable.... I admit I may be stressing a little, for no good reason. Hoping this is the last hurdle before our golden ticket. Then the journey starts.

Talie Good luck with the meds my 3 1/2 year old exactly the same as your 4 year old!! He just had to be weighed , height taken asked him a few colours of things. They do have to use the stethoscope to listen to their heart etc and have a feel of their tummy. The doctor was really good and let him hold the stethoscope on himself and she let my 7 year old come in with us too. Hope it all goes ok! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talie Good Luck... which one are you going to, we went to the spire in Manchester last saturday and they were all really good, and it didnt take as long as i expected... The underwear situation was the same with me, was going to wear my HE-MAN ones but changed at the last minute, glad i did as he told me to undress down to my underwear...:err: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh3p69 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hi there guys just a quick one, If i had a CO and never got an email from them will i still be able to upload my Oz police check when it comes, as the 28 day gap to upload docs has already passed...:animal-frog: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest thangvan Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 Just phone Singapore Police today, wasn't a pleasant call, and I was informed that my COC would not be available next week. Taking into account 5 working days for register mail, my COC will not reach CO around 9 or 10 July earliest. Wondering why it takes so long for them just to issue a COC, or may be they consider that COC is a privilege for Singa only, not a foreigner like I am:chatterbox: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
