The PCC should come through this week. Hopefully it goes fast from there. How does the PCC's get submitted, do they need the original in Aus or does it get scanned and mailed? We just emailed a PDF of the PCC one time to the agent. Only thing I can say is vasbyt and get your ducks in a row, because when you get that visa all you want to do is escape haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey @AdriaanSanta, I'm no migration agent but I reckon you upload it to your immiaccount and click the "Information provided" button 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clauderoy Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Is there a thread for visa's lodged in August 2017? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve1990 Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Hi Everyone! So just wanted to give some extra hope. My partner applied for her 189 visa on the 15th of June and she got her grant this past Friday. She got assigned a CO on the 8th of August who requested some additional documentation which we uploaded a few days later. We started her process in January with the English test then skills assessment etc. I'm lucky enough to already have a resident return visa from parents migrating many years ago. We looking to go over mid November. Wish you all the best! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danofotiadis Posted September 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2017 Likewise mate. Seeing some big movements in other groups in terms of number of grants - my mate got granted his 189 this morning too (from a May application). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdriaanSanta Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 So again a nice number of Visas granted through the Adelaide office. Seems like all the easy Visas go to them or they are just more motivated than the Brisbane office. This is really getting me down seeing all the Visas flying from there but mine is just quietly waiting in the Brisbane office. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucian Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 Worry not @AdriaanSanta. If your application's in there, they'll grant you a visa regardless which office has your papers. Perhaps Brisbane is simply a smaller office? There's only one DIBP after all aii? In other news, according to myimmitracker, more visas have now been allocated in the first 11 days of September, than May to August combined. It'll happen soon and when the time is right mates. Keep the faith, and keep an eye out for your golden email. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahahahha God is really blessing this move for us! Aah @BlueBaboon you son of a gun!Congratulations mate! Looks like the unemployment rate there is truly under 5% and isnt this why we're so attracted to Aus! Meanwhile we're still waiting on that golden email to arrive any day now. I keep checkin my immiaccount, and its driving me crazy the wait is just SO grippingly arduous. We cant buy anything, or sell anything yet, cant plan anything long term...If I didn't know any better, I cant even think clearly without telling myself... "aah that has to wait for the visas". I've even sent some applications through for jobs, which ofcourse have been disqualified because you "need to prove that you have the legal right to work in Aussie" first dont ya!

BlueBaboon Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Its gona come Lucian, there have been a ton of visa approvals on the South Africans migrating facebook pages in the last week, so im sure you guys are right there! Its a similar thing to when you need the toilet badly and the closer you get to the toilet the more you need the toilet... hahahahah Praying that you guys all hear something next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EngineerZA Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Hi All, I have been watching the forum relatively quietly for a while. After waiting 7 months for my wife's Unabridged Birth Certificate, we submitted our applications in June NAME: EngineerZA VISA APPLICATION DATE: 08/062017 VISA: 189 CO CONTACT: 01/08/2017 ADDITIONAL DOCS REQUESTED: Yes VISA GRANTED: 05/09/2017 Additional Info: Worked through an Agent. To all that were requested to supply additional docs. From what our Agent told us, the CO will only look at your documents AFTER the deadline date provided, so if you are still waiting, perhaps that is why. Good luck to all still waiting, hope it comes through quickly Regards, EngineerZA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
