Hi,

been reading about lots of success stories and a lot of them mention front end loading.

What is this?

cheers

hiya'

this means that you send your police checks and medicals with your application rather than wait for them to be requested................nothing more complicated than that.

Front end loading is when you provide the Medicals and the Police Checks with the application, there are many posts in the immigration forum that explain this and the risks, it's a matter of timing..
If you are a nurse or defacto applicant, you need to front load..
Also i think that SDAS and STNI applications are being processed quicker and front loading can speed up the process

Also keep in mind that the date of entry in the visa is the one year anniversary of either the medical or police checks, whichever was done first. So you might end up having a month to pack and leave if you front load.. then again you might not.. it's all timing..

personally, if i was to apply let's say in Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar I would front load as that seems to be crunch time at Dimia and front loaded applications might be processed faster to meet their June quota...
It's your decision, hope I helped..

So if the visa is granted, it commences from when either of the checks is first completed?

For arguments sake, police check in november, medical in december apply in january...........visa granted but backdated to november when the police check was done?

Thanks

Yes, thats it.

Are they flexable with the entry time on the visa or do you have to enter by the date they give you?
if you do receive your visa and it is back dated to the police or medical check date is it possible that you could lose the visa because you cant get there in time?

i thought you had a visa aswell bb.!!!!!

if i was you i would front end load your application you still have time, you are not leaving untill mid november, right?

once you have the police and medicals get your application off and you could hear in as little as one week, but beware the police checks can take up to 40 days to come back, so basically you have to go out monday and get the ball rolling mate.

good luck
