stu4668 Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 another question, once granted the visa how what are the timescales when you have to arrive in oz? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosshf Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 another question, once granted the visa how what are the timescales when you have to arrive in oz? From memory, I think we had about a year. Don't know whether it depends on type of visa or it could be the validity of police checks and medicals.

They say always wait for case officer to be assigned because firstly you don't know how long it could be before you get one, also if medicals get referred who knows how long they can be referred for. The reason being is from the date of your medical you have 1 year exactly then to validate. Not quite sure if Pcc checks are the same regarding 1 year or not, maybe someone else can answer this one? once case officer has been assigned and they give you the go ahead for medicals & ppc's then u have 28 days to get the results back to oz altho the medical practice should electronically do this for you but u would still need to do the Pcc & form 80. Basically if you do the medicals now before CO assigned it means you'll have less time to validate, remembering its 1 year from ure medical date. ( mines this Friday) hope this helps Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we have done the whole skills assessment and visa process ourselves and so far things have gone to plan, lets hope this final hurdle is straight forward. are you from York?
