Looking at the information regarding priorities you should move quite quickly! Good luck! When are you planning on moving over? Thank you and good luck with yours too. We would be hoping to move within the initial 12 months of gaining a visa. I know lots of people do the Reccy's, but we're thinking about just diving in Obviously dependant on funds and house sale etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know lots of people do the Reccy's, but we're thinking about just diving in Obviously dependant on funds and house sale etc... We hope to be there at the end of November this year. We have an opportunity to house-sit for some friends who are returning to the UK over christmas for a month. We want to take advantage of the opportunity to save some money, get ourselves all set up with a rental for a new start in the new year. Now if this visa would just hurry up!

ashleymhale Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Can I ask how much your medicals were? I've heard they can be around £500 per person Off the top of my head its about £300 for an adult and £100 for a child. Hep tests are more if they deem it neccesary.

Chall Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I applied for a 190 on 2nd June so haven't heard from a CO yet. I would like to get over within 12 months but am being patient for the minute. Can I ask what docs I need to upload other than PCC and Meds please? I know I need 10 years worth of P45s but is there any thing else you guys can advise me on please? Do I just scan them and upload them or do they need to be verified? I was going to wait until a CO asks but a head start would n't be a bad thing! Any help is greatly appreciated and good luck everyone!

I've uploaded my IELTS test certificate, my Vetassess skills assessment, defacto evidence of my relationship with my fiancee, a statutory declaration from my step-childs father saying he is happy for him to emigrate with us. my state sponsorship agreement, when i get my police checks back i will upload those and the clinic will upload my medicals directly.

Lindsaylou7 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 We paid £950 for two adults two children, I am a nurse so mine where more expensive needed HIV test, Hep B and Hep C, my son is 12 so he needed a chest x-ray. Pretty straight forward really just long delays I believe if you get referred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindsaylou7 Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 23rd April 2013 was the date our CO was assigned, we travelled to Perth for 2 weeks and thought it would happen whilst we were away. Booked medicals promptly though and friend posted police checks so we had no delays. We have never felt so frustrated and desperate just waiting for that yes!

KGB Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Hi Lindsaylou, Congrats in getting the visa!!! Can I ask how you went about findings holiday let for three months? Is it expensive if you don't mind me asking?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chall Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 I've uploaded my IELTS test certificate, my Vetassess skills assessment, defacto evidence of my relationship with my fiancee, a statutory declaration from my step-childs father saying he is happy for him to emigrate with us. my state sponsorship agreement, when i get my police checks back i will upload those and the clinic will upload my medicals directly. Thanks a lot for the info here. Much appreciated. Can anyone tell me how long I have to book my meds? I have heard that I can wait for a CO to ask for them and ask I might have said, I am in no great rush. I guess my real question is, is there a time limit on getting them done from the time I actually paid for the visa application? Thanks in anticipation guys.

From what I understand you have a year to enter australia from the date of your meds. we want to get there at the end of nov this year hence front loading them before being requested.

Nikkis2000 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 My agent is submitting my application this afternoon!! She just said that you can now book medicals without a CO because there is a new eMedical system. However it's still a bit flaky so if there is a problem with it you then have to wait for a CO as they give you a reference (HRI) that the panel docs use to submit your results to DIAC. Ashleymale is right in that the initial entry date is based on the date of your meds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
