JessJ Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Yay!! Seems like Munchkin and I are on the same timeline! Received an email early this morning to say our VPO has been assigned!She has requested PCC's, which we are hoping will be done this week / next week! Anyone know how long VPOs take to finalise once you have loaded the info they requested? Or is it just the luck of the draw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGSHARK Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 hi Munchkin, if you don't mind me asking but how did your husband go about securing work before the VISA grant? did he get an internal company transfer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munchkin Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Thank you everyone, hoping for a lot of good news this Friday.My husband worked with this guy in Dubai and he is a director or the company my husband are busy securing work through. So unfortunately it's the saying again, it's not who you are, it's who you know. But if anyone is and charted accountant and got their visa they must give me a shout. I know a company that prefers South Africans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyengles Posted October 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) hi Munchkin, if you don't mind me asking but how did your husband go about securing work before the VISA grant? did he get an internal company transfer?I've also been wondering about this topic.Then yesterday I got a mail from a guy (recruiter) that found my profile on Seek and LinkedIn with a possible job offer. Provided the visa comes through.So, the possibilities are out there. I've found, from those I've applied with so far, that recruiters seem to be more understanding of the visa process.I don't know if that really helps you now that I look at it Edit: On my seek profile I ticked the box that says "Able to live and work in Oz". Even though I'm still waiting, since the moment the visa comes through I'm going. Edited October 20, 2015 by wallyengles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessJ Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Oh Munchkin... you just made my day I'm a CA - wanting to leave for Aus early Feb 2016. Any help would be AMAZING!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MerlinZA Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Hi MunchkinI am also a CA, we're waiting on our 189's (CO assigned on 2nd October) and our house is up for sale. once these two items are finalised we'll be booking our flights for early 2016. I was hoping to get an internal transfer with my firm but our offices in Oz are only just opening and they dont need someone at my level just yet. So my wife and i have been stressing a bit as we thought this was a given based on feedback i was getting from our previous HR Manager ( who left suddenly in August - apparently i wasnt the only one been duped) I have applied for a few jobs on seek but only one recruiter has replied so far to say he could assist, but then has never replied back after i gave him info he asked for. ​Would be great if there is any possibility of securing a job or prospective job from here :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessJ Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) Yay! PCCs received - exactly 1 month from application!Phew, everything has finally been submitted... now we wait... Edited October 21, 2015 by JessJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
