Our agent requested that we open it and explained how to link our application to the account. Other than that I only use it to follow up on the progress myself. Thank you. Will leave it then,probably better otherwise I will log in constantly to check the status Just hope the PCC arrive in due time. We had passed 28 since CO and I stress that this will drastically delay the grant. The grants for November guys seems drastically low.

DavePE Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Congrats vzdike! What a relief. I'm 2015777XXX and it's still showing it's still being finalized. 2015776999 is the highest number I see that's been finalized, and that was dated yesterday (27th) so hopefully tomorrow will be some good new for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vzdike Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 @DavePE A big relief! I cannot even imagine how a grant must feel if I am over the moon for PCC. Holding thumbs, for that big FINALIZED for you tommorow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpeDiem Posted February 1, 2016 Report Share Posted February 1, 2016 Hi Everyone, been following this thread for a while and finally gotten around to signing up. We lodged our 190 visa 19 November so we are also in the final wait for the grant. Really praying it won't be too much longer as there is so much that needs to happen. We have a little 6 year old so timing the new school is going to be rather hectic as she's in grade R here and could possibly be in grade 1 there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When will you be flying? Sorry for all the questions. We're trying to find the best (R vs hours) value. And currently it seems to lean towards Quantas. Please Remember if you are going to book with Qantas to ask them for the immigration fare. This will allow you to take 40kg pp,and 7kg hand luggage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarpeDiem Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Not sure if any of you have the same problem as me but I spend far to much of my time searching the Internet and social media trying to gather some sort of stats that I can use like a crystal ball to help me see when the grant letter might arrive. Alas it seems very quite I can almost hear crickets chirping! Please, please, please arrive this week 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vzdike Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 My agent advice me that the current timeframe is the 28 after CO contact PLUS another 4 weeks. But that is not my experience on the forums I read. But I am positive that this will be the NOVEMBER threads week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoleneW Posted February 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 So today marks.... 12 weeks since lodging of 189 application and 9 weeks since VPO assigned ....just saying , not that I'm counting or anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpeDiem Posted February 3, 2016 Report Share Posted February 3, 2016 Jolene, just read a post in the October Lodge thread where TracyAnne contact her CO and got feedback to say that things have shifted and teams have been implemented instead of individuals working on a case and this is probably the cause for the back log. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we are in exactly the same time frame @Hanliedb were so lucky to get their grant on the 23th of December. Probably a CO that needed a few more grants to make his stats for the year O well ......

What can we do but wait I have been reading all of your post since we received our visa, sitting and trying to figure out what we exactly did right to receive our visa within 6 weeks, maybe it was pure luck or the fact that I clicked on the Information provided bottom on our Immi account LOL, whatever it was, I’m feeling extremely grateful. Holding thumbs for everyone waiting for a visa. Hopefully the grants will start to come in within the next week or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
