Thanks for the congrats people - Its an amazing feeling. I have been on cloud 73 all day!

I'm finding out who she is and giving her a job (after she does your RSMS )

No worries - the info I got was spot on - meds processed Monday as indicated.

E-mail with PDF of grant letter attached. I got home today and my paper copy acknowledgement was on the door mat. Bit late for that now! Ha Ha!

Where hav you lodged Looky and when?

Lodged at Brisbane business center (posted actually not in person) on the 19 Sep and recieved ack letter dated 2nd Oct.

Hmmmm - Brisbane are quite slow I believe at the moment. I know they were advertising for staff recently. Have you tried e-mailing them to find out how they are doing towards processing standard? Have you done your meds? I know Jan lodged Brisbane and has been waiting several months for a CO.

I did not email them about the visa progress as i thought its only a few weeks since application. I did my medicals way back in April or May at HSA and the application has the complete documents with medical results, pcc, positive skill assessment, IELTS result, work reference, group certificate, pay slip etc. which means it is unlikely that I will be asked for any additional document except maybe form 80.

The ack letter did list a processing time of 5 to 6 months but i thought that might be a standard template that they use.

5 months is the service standard for low risk RSMS - when I e-mailed Parramatta they confirmed that all applications were currently being processed inside the service standard - so that gave me a maximum wait scenario.

I wasnt quite prepared for the minimum though! Hehe.

When are you coming over ?

ponyrama

I land on 1st December.

They usually ask for the main applicants original police checks as well as the form 80 Looky.

ponyrama

Cheers Jan! Here's hoping Brissy get their finger out and get processing yours a bit quicker.

WEEE heee we can stay long enough to submit to RCB ..... they've finally submitted the 457 application so we don't have to leave in a fortnight - well not unless they refuse it we don't.

Back to stage 1 of the RSMS now that's taken care of. Will it ever end.
