Guest steffijones Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Best of luck, wanting to turn you amber this week. I really hope that we both become Amber this week, but in the meantime had to come down to London for a very boring conference tomorrow, so have just turned myself rose ( that would be the wine colour!) think it may be a long hungover day so good news with a co by morning would help!!

Guest china Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Congratulation China, well done, i cannot believe how long it has taken you..........you took your time???????????? And after all the issues you had with trying to get your files to South Australia when applying for your State Sponsor. :jiggy::jiggy: Hi Gaz - thanks! Yes it was a bit hairy with the old state sponsorship documents, they finally reached adelaide on the 27th day! eek! The build up to actually submitting the 176 paper work was quite long, we had drama with the skills assessment too, they changed the criteria while ours was in the post and even though we had done it to the new criteria it still took them a month to write to us, to ask us to sign something to say we knew we had to meet the new criteria - grrr! But now we have the visa it all pales into insignificance It's weird though, we are SOOOO happy, but at the same time I don't think it has really sunk in. I think we are going to get our visas evidenced in our passports, just so that we can see it, I know you don't need it but I think that will be nice! Good luck Gaz, and everyone else! Now the hard bit, getting ready to go, and deciding where to go.................................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have confirmed medicals have been received and just sent police checks off last week. I think looking at most of posts it's about 4wks, we had our meds Saturday so hopefully visa granted by end of month.

ThistleandRose Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 A quick update from us. Medicals have been received and immediately referred.. so we think this means going over it with a fine tooth comb (we had to go back to GP for more info if you remember). Very very scared now. Anyone got any clues on the referred thing? Can someone tell us what referred means? :arghh::arghh: Last night we phoned DIAC to see if the medicals had been received - we'd had to send them manually as the practice said we had the wrong forms and so couldn't do e-health... We were told that it would take "4 to 6 weeks and even longer" for the medicals to appear on the system. So I wouldn't put too much faith in anything you get told!! :realmad::realmad::mad: Despite sending them off together in the same envelope only one of our police checks has come back... the other appears to be taking the slow route from Hampshire....:wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaz n family Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hiya T&R. Our police checks came back seperated by about 5 days (over a weekend) i was panicked a little in case it had been lost in the post (why do i always assume the worse) but thankfully all was well with ours. Which practise did you use for your medicals? We used the London (Knightsbridge) and got the same story about not being able to use the E-Health, strange considering we had the same forms as others who have used Cardiff no problem. Still part of our medical fee included document courier so were posted on a Tuesday and signed for in Sydney on the Friday. I cannot belive the practise gave you the documents to post yourself, have they not read the guidlines and instructions by DIAC which forbids this??????? Why do you think your meds have been referred, is this a complete shock? Sorry i cannot help on how long and what happens, but i have seen a few posts about this within PIO over the last few weeks that might help. Best of luck and i seriously hope for your sakes its only an over keen individual who actions them soon, that way you can relax a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz n family Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 Seriously Gaz?? That's wonderful!!! Thought they were waiting for more doc's??Huge congrats!! We were, i received the etter from the RN tonight when we got home. I scanned it in and sent it to our agent. Had/having a crap nights sleep so checked my emails to find out our agent hadnt replied to say the email had arrived so i took the decission to email it straight to our Case Officer. Then bang, two hours later we have been granted our visa. I will be sending a nice bunch of flowers to the lady in the disclosure cell in portsmouth, she helped me emensly by being so quick and typing our letter. She didnt have to and they have 40 days to respond, but all done and dusted within a week of receiving our application for the data. Right, i must try to get some sleep. Night.
