From interview to receiving bank guarantee letter it only took you 3 days. Its like they sent it right after the interview. My cousin got the interview in April and was told its all approved. But she hasnt received the bank guarantee letter yet. Its been 7 months. She “harass” centrelink every week but they cannot promise when it would be sent. If you mean the 2nd instalment payment then it was 5 working days including the postal time. My friend mailed the cheque on Monday she got visa granted on Friday. It was 3 years ago.

When the CO picks your file hopefully they will straightaway proceed to grant in your case and end the excruciating wait 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onthemove Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 Hi Diveup, On which of the two dates below was your in-law’s application actually lodged: On 5/5/2018 at 2:08 PM, Diveup said: Hi, I have been on the sideline for a while. My parents in law lodged their application on 30/06/2015. On Friday 04/05/2018 they received their Invitation to Commence Document Preparation - Parent Visa Application. Police Check carried out 05/05/2018 Medicals to be carried out next week in Johannesburg. AOS to be carried out next week. At least looks like this process is moving again.

Just curious, as mine was lodged on 24 June 2015 - I’ve heard nothing further since receiving the AoS acceptance letter in Aug, hoping something will happen soon though 😐 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onthemove Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 @AKB I'm working through an agent, who already has all further supporting documents incl AoS Acceptance Letter on file (and Centrelink also notified Immi that they accepted the AoS application in order to proceed with the visa application). They are awaiting formal request from PVC for their submission as soon as, presumably, a CO is assigned to assess my case. Results of the medical exam/radiology as far as I know are submitted directly to the Department. So, now I'm keeping my eyes on PVC's next update on their progress of CPV 143 assessment date 🙄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elna57 Posted November 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) Hi Roomies. Although I don't comment much anymore, I have you all in my heart still and miss the comradeship we shared here. I do check in regularly though but I remember what I felt like when it seemed so near but yet so far. Good luck and speedy visas to you all. Big hugs to each and every one.

I'll look into 🛫 soon as 2nd VAC is requested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirkz Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 @Onthemove Well at last! Congrats! I'm sure the frustration of waiting has been relieved a bit. If all goes well it won't be too long now. Once your CO has gone through all your documents, you should get the most exciting email of all - to pay the 2nd VAC. That means your visa application has been approved and you are on your way to Aus !!! For the rest of the roomies in the waiting room, vasbyt ! All I can say is that it's worth all the waiting and stressing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
