wild rose Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 This afternoon I received an email inviting us to apply for our 189! Woohoo! What a relief. It was a pleasant surprise as I hadn't factored in the time difference. I'll make a start when the kids have gone to bed later. It's getting very real now tho :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Beesley Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Congratulations, may ask how many points you had? Hopefully I will hear something soon, fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild rose Posted June 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 Only had 60 points. Are u applying for a 189 as well? I think it goes on number of points and then the date/time your expression of interest is lodged. i lodged my visa application this evening. Had a slight heart attack paying out £4000 ($7112) but it'll all be worth it in the end. Just need to upload all the evidence and book our medicals now! #relentless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please keep us updated with your progress its nice to hear someone finally moving on through this stressful process you will soon be living your dream how exciting!! Good luck Yes, all of a sudden it seems to really get moving. I have booked our medicals for next Saturday in Birmingham. I haven't uploaded any of the evidence yet, for some reason I feel really scared about it! I need to start next week, I'm sure I'll be fine once I've got cracking. It's just so important and I'm frightened that we won't have enough evidence for the 8 years work experience! There's absolutely no reason to feel like I do, just nerves I guess. It really won't be long until I'm reading that you've submitted you're visa too xx When is Keith booked in? I'll be keeping everything firmly crossed for you!

I'm sure it is a scary and nerve wracking experience when you get to that point, I suppose you have gone from wanting it for so long plodding through the process to it actually happening and being quite overwhelming. Good luck with your medicals I'm sure it will all be fine. Thanks, Keith is booked in for 21 June and he's booked another after that for July just in case but we are hoping that it will be all ok this time fingers and toes crossed it be 3rd time lucky!!! I look forward to hearing more about your journey and Good Luck xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Joydeep, Have a look here http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/pdf/points-tested-migration-fact-sheet.pdf You'll be able to calculate your points yourself, otherwise contact a registered migration agent for advice. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wild rose Posted June 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 WHOOOO congratulations hun !! only just seen your post over the moon for you. keep us posted! its getting very real for you! :-) x I know! Our PCC application has been acknowledged by ACPO so we're expecting them back any day now. We all traipsed to Birmingham for our medicals on Saturday so they will hopefully be uploaded within a couple of weeks. I have uploaded all our evidence to our visa application apart from the employment history (which is the only bit freaking me out!) but I have promised myself I'll get that done tomorrow. I'll feel better once it's all done. I wonder how long until we get a Case Officer??? Eeeeeeeeek!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
