Thank you Nancy, I hope yours goes quickly too.

Congratulations!!!

Good luck Jimbo, hope its a speedy process.

It sure does! We are waiting on our medicals to be uploaded by the clinic. My OH called them today and they said the paperwork is back, it just needs a doctor to go over them and sign them and they will be uploaded. They didn't say if it was all ok or not, the waiting is terrible. This is the last piece of the jigsaw so we are just hoping its all ok!

Myself and my OH are both 35 and we have a 6 year old boy. Aiming to move out in November to northern suburbs.

Our agent did ours for us, but i know a lot people have issues attaching documents. keep trying it may work at some point but if you cant do it don't worry too much. When you get a CO you also get their email address. Our agent couldnt upload our defacto evidence of our relationship but emailed it as soon as the CO was allocated. The same with our medicals, our agent could access my fiancee and our childs but not mine (I'm the lead applicant). Eventually they could access it. As long as you have your TRN number you can contact a clinic directly to book your appointment and they can access you on the ehealth system. Hope this helps.

Congratulations, all the hard work has paid off. I hope you find work quickly and enjoy your new adventure.

we were just going to use a jet-washer on ours. Are we being a tad naive and need to scrub everything with bleach? Its only about 14 months old. The same with some mountain bikes we bought for Christmas, they've only been used once, we were going to jet wash them clean.

Does everybody else get: [h=3]This service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.[/h]when you try to check the progress of your online visa application? It hasn't ever worked for me which is very annoying when you have lodged your application through an agent and you can't access the application through skillselect. Is there any other way we can check without pestering our agent every 2 minutes?

Just received Police Cert in the post, scanned and emailed to Agent to Upload.... Now were just waiting for our Medical results to be uploaded. The Clinic said 4-7 days... This is day 4!

Exactly what Nikkis2000 said. We stated that my line of work has lots of opportunities in our chosen region, we liked the outdoor lifestyle, beaches, national parks, the various festivals etc. Show that you have researched the area, the events and why its suited to you. You dont need to write a book on it just a few paragraphs for each area. There is lots of info available on the WA website that you can use.

I'm not sure as our agent did ours. I have heard a lot of people have problems with the site though. I think persistence is the key.. good luck hope it gets easier.

All we are waiting for is our Police checks.... My OH's comes in the post today... but no sign of mine. Even though they were sent at the same time, in the same envelope, they had consecutive application numbers on the receipts, the cheques where cashed at the same time. I emailed ACPO and they confirm they were sent at the same time. I really hope mine isn't lost... another day of waiting when we are so close. That's it rant over!

Looks like we are in a similar position, we want to be out at the end of November. where are you looking at going? we have the opportunity to house sit for some friends in Joondalup whilst they return to the UK over christmas. Its a great opportunity to find our feet and get our rental and employment sorted. We are both 35 and we have a little boy who is 6. Would be great to keep in touch if we head out at the same time.

I know its crazy isn't it! 16 days! I just hope the police checks hurry up! It says 10 working days not including receipt and despatch, which will be thursday this week. Were hoping to go in November so hopefully only 5 months to wait!

We've had our Case Officer Assigned today, he has just asked for: 1. our Police Checks (which should be with us any day now) and; 2. Our de-facto evidence (apparently there is an error on the system and he couldn't access our uploaded evidence, so our agent has emailed him the documents directly this morning). And that's it! Just waiting on our police checks to come back. Oh and he has corrected the incorrect spelling of my name!

Thank you. Good luck to you too with your medicals. hopefully you can have a relaxing holiday. Just dont take your laptop with you so you are on your emails every 2 mins!!!

Had our medicals done today. Everything seems fine, just have to wait for our blood tests and x-rays to come back and then they will upload to DIAC for us. I think they said 7 days. So hopefully by then our police checks are back and we can upload those. Then hopefully we will get a CO allocated. We've done all we can do now, so were just going to sit back and wait....

brilliant news! welcome to the thread!!

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.

I'm not 100% sure as my agent has done it for us but i think its just pdf scans and uploaded.

Congratulations!!! When was your CO assigned?

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.

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.

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!
