0 renebo Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Hi Lidan, welcome. We lodged our 190 Vic SS on 4 Dec 2017 and submitted all documents. Hoping to hear soon for a direct grant. Good luck R 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Piet1234 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 Hi, We lodged 189 Visa on 6 December, also with all documents hoping on direct grant. Quiet a coincidence, like Renebo above we are going from UK to OZ Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 renebo Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 @Piet1234 Nice, where in Aus are you looking to go? We had enough of this weather hehehehe been a very cold winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 TamTam Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 @renebo I hear you!! Let this be the last European/UK winter for us all! To the next Christmas being spent in shorts and t-shirts!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Piet1234 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 @renebo I take it you haven't been in UK for many years if this was a cold Winter Not really sure where we moving to yet, still up for debate. I want to go to a smaller place as I am gatvol of the hordes of people in the UK... Rain and snow doesn't bother me, but I don't like queues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 renebo Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 @Piet1234 we have been here for 3 years now.....enough to drive me crazy I guess. Due to our visa 190 VIc SS we will be going to Melbourne cant wait. If all goes well we will be there in May 2018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Piet1234 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 @renebo 3 years, yeah you haven't had great weather. 2016 and 2017 "summers" were abysmal. Its quite sad that I remember the weather for each year, but talking about the weather is a legit thing here lol. Been here 11 years and I actually like living here but the wife, who comes from Kimberley, doesn't function so well in this weather and, of course, since she's the boss we are moving. I have been to Melbourne it is amazing you will love it there. We probably looking to go around September, need to wait for my sons school year to end, and want to have the summer holiday off work.

0 renebo Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 @Piet1234 ah ok, we want to go as soon as we can, waiting till Sept isnt an option for us as our current visa expires in June.....so the kids will have started their school year in Sept 2017 and continue in that same year in May...mmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Piet1234 Posted January 16, 2018 Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 @renebo Yeah the kids will be fine, I am sure the schools there and in the UK are prepared for this kind of thing to be able to do a handover. People move between UK and Aus constantly, so there will be processes in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Ta2Bryan Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 Hi @Piet1234, we submitted 189 Visa app on 21 of December 2018. It hasn't been long, but the nerves are killing me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Piet1234 Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 @Ta2Bryan Yeah this waiting is not for me, I have no patience. Day 43 and counting... At least we going to SA for a few weeks in Feb, so that should use up some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Lidan Posted January 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 We lodged on the 28th of December. Hoping we will all hear soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 RenVilo Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 We received our VIC invite on 6 Dec. Applied 9th with all except our PCC and Medicals. Medicals was done around 15th and PCC uploaded on 2nd of Jan. Still waiting I do have a question, did you complete the form and sign it with Adobe PDF or in an actual pen? Also, we did our medicals in Jan 2017 (Would have been a 457 but decided to do a 190 after some company issues), so after lodging our application in Dec we said that we did medicals, provided our HAP ID's and Immi gave us new Medical forms. On the forms they said they can Reuse the X-ray's. Will that then still be valid because we didn't go for new X-ray's in Dec. Just HIV tests and Medicals.

0 renebo Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Hi all, has anyone heard anything yet? It feels like they are super slow!!!! Feeling frustrated and anxious... Rene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 RenVilo Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Still waiting. I'm on day 61 today. seems the avg is 65 to 75 days to get some feedback. some say its a good sign as a CO should get back to you in around 5 weeks but if not it should be a direct grant... not sure how valid that is. I hope to hear something this week else next at the latest... I hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
