Cliomarie Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Hi everyone, We have submitted medicals and PCCs through agent last week and thought the end was close! But she has emailed to say she won't be expecting a grant now until 1st July at least as things have slowed right down. I have read this the case with other visa sub classes but just wondered if anyone has had a grant recently or is in the same boat! Look forward to hearing from you :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 It varies by occupation as different occupations have different limits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliomarie Posted May 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 thanks VS, I'm a nurse. Any ideas where I can find out that info? Actually forget that, what's another 4 weeks of feeling on the edge!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 My visa (albeit a few years ago) was granted in the July when the quota was reopened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnaylor Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 hi cliomarie we are in the exact same position as you guys, we have handed all the documentation in in May and have been told last week that we're probably going to have to wait till July now! it defiantly is frustrating and like you say another month we have to wait I'm hoping it fly's by for us all!

Cliomarie Posted May 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Hi mnaylor, its good to know I not alone! There a thread on pomsinoz for people that submitted their visa apps in feb and there a few of us in the same boat, I am not worried as such, more that I'm reluctant to do any planning/ booking until we get that email! Keep us posted :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I believe on the immi site you can check visa classes and spaces left per occupation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susanbro Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Hi, I believe that the occupation ceiling limits are not the hold it, its the over all yearly limit that has been reached. If you add all occupation limits they are way higher than the grant limit. Hope this helps xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliomarie Posted June 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Hi susanbro, yeah I think that's it. So now just to wait until the 1st July and hopefully those grants will come quickly! Thanku for or all your replies :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millie1978 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 Quick question? Any word of your visa yet? Still no word our end x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliomarie Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Hi Millie...... No!!! I am up at 6 for work and first thing I've done is check emails again. I feel like a nutcase! We had correspondence from CO last week requesting biodata pages of my current and previous passport as clarification of my names which no ones ever heard of so another thing to worry over! Can only think it's because I have been to oz with my maiden name previously. What about u any news??? Did u submit in feb too? Anyway I will let u know the minute I hear anything, good luck!!!

It's taking so long we have doubts all the time that something is wrong and they will be changing the criteria in July. We are driving ourselves nuts. We feel the time process is taking the good out of it as all it's doing is making us more stressed. Would be nice to have had some for of contact, so your lucky to have at least at that x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susanbro Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 On one of the facebook groups I follow a lady was granted her visa this morning so it's still happening. I think they were on some sort of industrial strike for the past 2 weeks which will not have helped thimgs. That ended on Friday and with the 1st being Wed, I predict good things for you all xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millie1978 Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Thanks for update. I wonder how long that lady had been waiting for her visa do you know? Great news they still being issued.

Roll on the 1st July xx Sorry hun, no idea how long she waited since EOI went in, all she said is she's been at this for 1.5yrs. One of the agents on the site predicts that a lot of visa's will have been stamped and they are just waiting for the 1st and they will all come flying through. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Our 457 went in Thurs - don't think we'll be so lucky on the 1st , will be a bit longer for us I think xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
