Depends on what is the first entry date given to you by your case officer.

I don't know that there is a hard and fast rule about that. Our validation deadline was 9 months after medicals and 7 months after grant...

Its 12 months from medicals or Police Checks- as a rule. The Case Officer may relax the limit and extend the initial entry date further depending on individual circumstances.

Thanks,

We did our meds/police check in sept 09 for 175. Visa granted early Jan 10 for latest entry date Jan 11. I have young kids so maybe they gave us some extra time.
