hi
I sent email to ASIO in Aug 10 and they confirmed that my case referred to them . I again sent email in November now but no reply and again in December but again no reply . I sent email to CO and she told that security checks are not back in her office and still waiting for them . She advised me not to take med n PCC until advised to do while I did med n pcc in October 2009 and it seemed that these have expired . I am wondering why ASIO not replying me back . After few days , their new year vacations will start and work will start again after mid of January 2011.

ASIO is an Australian govenment department. Although many staff will be off between Christmas and New year they do NOT shut down until mid January. They have confirmed your case has been referred to them so why do you keep emailing them? They can't tell you anything else.

In this thread , some other member advised that we should contact again ASIO after 8 weeks if no outcome appear of first response . Total time line for ASIO is 12 months which I have already crossed . Instead of 8 weeks , I contacted them after 16 weeks but still no outcome . Life is on hold since long and cannot plan any thing . You are right , I should not contact again ASIO . Thanks for advice.

I suggest you to wait for atleat 3 to 5 months more and then contact with DIAC noty with ASIO becoz ASIO will not provide your anymore detail as also said by Pollyana

hi all,

I have got few queries. I do not know that is it the right forum to ask or not. I need to know their answers to make my future plans.

1. How badly the timelines of my application will be disturbed if I change my country of residence because I have got a new job in middle east.
   
2. Suppose me and my family have got visa grant and we are asked to enter Australia before October 2011, then is it mandatory for me and my family to enter Australia together OR I can go earlier and my family can join me later before October 2011 deadline
   
3. Suppose me and my family have got visa grant and we are asked to enter Australia before October 2011. but we want to enter Australia in December 2011, (a) so can we enter and exit Australia to give ourselves extra time before moving permanently. (b) What things or rules, we have to care (c) how long do we have to stay in Australia to make our exit and what we need to do there before taking exit (d) how long can we remain outside Australia after exit and what we need to care.
   

Please reply in detail. thank you.

Thank you Faraz. I submitted my Form 80 in october 2009 and change of circumstances in December 2009 [i had to add new born child].

I wanted to know that is there any minimum limit of time to stay in Australia on Validation trip.

Faraz

As for as I know, there is no such limit. But when U would be going to Australia on visa validation U would probably stay there for at least a week or so .

gmjally

thank you Faraz. I higly appreciate your prompt replies... It helped me in making few critical decisions and plans....

for validation you can take very next flight to come back.

my friend who applied in July 09, got a job offer from Dubai, he informed his case officer and in reply case officer informed him that he will need to send PCC from the country where he spent last 1 year and medical can be done from the country where you will be living at the time of request.

one more thing, you can contact your case officer for change of job/country, i guess it may vary case to case.

hi
You can go alone and your family later on for validation and come back any time , even next flight , and go back at your convenience . Primry applicant must go first with family or alone and secondary later on but secondary applicant cannot go first . You got enough time till Oct 11 and must not request to change till december 11 to avoid complications . After validation of visa , you can enter within next 3 years for permanent residence .
Now you can join middle east job and do validation any time before Oct11 and rejoin your job .

shafaqat309

what will happen if someone enter into australia after 3 years of validation?

tatoo

nothing will happen
