Application on its way at last how long now?
DHL picked up all our forms for skilled indpendent migration today. Ive heard it takes about 8-9 months to hear back for meds but if meds are ok how long after that do you find out whether youve been accepted or not?

I just made it to send the application last week. The applicatin will be delivered on Wednesday. I think from then on its a game of waiting and testing the patience. I think we should also get points for that.
Cheers

well..... 'cos you have lodged NOW and not after 14th april, you only need 115 points. If you have 115 points without having to lodge the bond, then- GREAT.
Some people have 110 points and have to lodge a bond with the aussies for 1 year to gain them the extra 5 points, which brings them up to 115 points.
Have you not used an agent?
If not, then maybe you woulden't know about this, either how, good luck.

Thanks mate,
I do use an agent but as you know stress can make you think lot of things.
So that's the reason I posted the reply.

Hi there
My hubby applied 136 skilled ind Aug 2003 we recieved the acknowledgement 18th Aug 2003.
We received the meds request last week, so 7 months later.
It's now a waiting game for you.....the first 6 months are the worst!!!!!
Good luck!!

Agreed,
The clock has started ticking for me...
I know we have to wait for next six months.
Do you guys expect there will be delay in the processing due to the April 14 rush
Jus t wondering
