Cheers Nick
Get all of your paper work together - colour low res scans 200ppi so less than 1MB in size. Gotta question for you - how did you get a job without the visa in the first place - all jobs I have seen insist on visa before applying???? Cheers....!

Logged in this morning to check the status online and a new entry appears:

18/07/2008 Application being processed further
does this mean we have a CO?

Checking the doc check list:
We've both been asked for Form 1221

With regards to my wife's medicals - her Form 160EH and Form 26EH are showing as "requested" (even though on the main summary page they show as "referred" so they seemed to have received them. Any ideas why this might be?
I've checked my emails and nothing from a CO yet...
She's also being asked to submit Form 815 but where do I get hold of it? search the forums - it looks like it should be emailed to me...

Looks like we might get away without filling in Form 80 :
Congrats on the CO!!! Sorry no idea on the other questions - look online at the DIAC site - they have all the forms to download.

You haven't filled it in yet???????????!!!!!!

excellent news Mary
Hope your hols are going well...

Some people have said that their status page has been showing "further processing commenced" for months! :curse:

I'm going to email DIAC and ask them to confirm if we do have a CO. The status page is showing some further docs as "requested" so there must be someone who looked at our app and said "they need to send that in" - surely that's a CO?!

OMG Me Too!!!!

Checked status page last night - same as ever. This morning a new message appears: 23/07/08 Application being Processed Further

Does this mean we have a CO too??????????

After the worst month of my life (long & non visa related story) this is the best thing that could happen.

Congrats To Everyone else getting visas and CO's
