Hi there, As far as i have seen, there is no specific timeline to issue the grant letter upon uploading the requested doc's. It is purely based on the CO's call.. I have submitted the requested doc on 21/03- Yet to hear from the CO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the case officer will contact you when it is time to do them. Some people do them early, but there is no real point as it doesn't result in faster processing and runs the risk of them expiring and needing to be done again. Also, it cuts the length of time to make the first entry as you have to make the first entry after visas are granted within 12 months of the police or medical check, which ever is earlier.

Well, I guess, it shouldn't be too long before the grants start coming in for the rest of us When do you plan to travel ? Would be good if you continue to update us with posts, if possible .... we we are all on the same journey and any feedback is helpful. I guess the real work begins once we get to the other side. My husband and I will need to look for jobs once we get there..... a bit intimidating, but exciting at the same time. This is truly a huge project and sharing ideas on this forum is reassuring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, I did my medicals after lodging the visa application. That's when the HAP ID gets generated, which is required to go for medicals. I think you can do the police checks in advance, to save time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubacam Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Does anyone know about having a year from the date of police checks and Medicals , to land and activate visas? I'm a bit confused . my qualification assessment is on its way back to me , we've done our English tests and the hopefully in 2 weeks we submit EOI. Similarly to Nelly - we are getting jobs once out there. Terrifying but hopefully worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that clears that up for you Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scuba - I heard, that the first entry into the country to validate your visa needs to be done within a year from the date of either your medicals or police checks (whichever was earlier). As for the State sponsorship approval, their timeline on the website states 12 weeks. But I think, it comes in much before that... more like between 4 to 8 weeks. Wish you all the best for the next stage. And yes, I'm hoping it's all going to be worthwhile ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as i checked with Live in NSW team, Ideal processing time for NSW State Sponsorship application is 12 weeks . However, i have seen people receiving it after 12 weeks as well as before 12 weeks!!! Fingers Crossed..

Lily99 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I have submitted and uploaded document for 190 visa on 18th May and done my medical within 3 days. I have not contacted by anyone yet. How do you know that you have been allocated a CP or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not contacted by anyone yet. How do you know that you have been allocated a CP or not. I would not have done your medical yet. It does not speed things up and you run the risk of having to make a very quick dash to Australia or even having to re do it. There are delays across immigration processing at the moment, also, some occupations with capped limits can see substantial delays. If you log into the immi site, it will tell you if a case officer has been appointed yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdonna1975 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Hey VeryStormy You mention being able to see whether a CO has been appointed in the IMMI account? In my IMMI account is just says 'received' (as it has done for the past 4.5 months ??). Does the status change if/once the CO is allocated?
