Re: Got 175 grant letter today
Dear Khurram AOA !
Again many congrats. I have following pieces of advice to U.
1- Plan well ur move to Aus. If U have freinds/relatives in AU then it is quite a blessing and u can arrange a lot of thing there like housing,etc even before moving, if u don't have anyone down there pls be very careful in moving and plan everthing well.
2- Sometimes its better to move alone on ist entry and after settleing there in 1 year time rest of family can join u.
Wish U all the best

Re: Got 175 grant letter today
Hi Khurram,
Which team is your CO from? Even for me, only my wife's PCC was pending which I sent on 19th July to CO, everything else has been met, but even after repeated emails to CO, no response from my CO who is in Team 2. I am quite worried now. Do you know if there would be any contact numbers for CO so that we can try to contact? or is it just email query?
Thanks,

Thanks,
I am sure you gonna get it soon. remember one thing, SILENCE IS GOOD. if your CO is silent, means everything is going smoothly. Don't worry if he hasn't replied to your mails. Just wait. I think if you call to DIAC telephone number, they forward your call to your CO although you might have to hold for a long time. I have Warid phone number and from Ward, you can call any number of the world but not DIAC's number. I complained for a couple of times but they didn't fix it and then I never tried to call DIAC again. But I will suggest you to just wait. Don't worry. everything is going fine otherwise they would have contacted you.

Re: Got 175 grant letter today
Great news and congratulations. Would you mind saying which city are you going to? I am in Perth if you need any assistance, but I know most likely you will be going to Sydney or Melbourne. Good luck anyway and keep in touch if you like.

Re: Got 175 grant letter today
Hi
Finally I have got the grant letter today. My time line is as follows:
Paper Based GSM 175, CSL, MODL
(Computing Professional J2EE Specialist):June 1, 2009
Applied Vic SS: Sept 1, 2009
SS Granted:Oct 19, 2009
CO allocated: Oct 21, 2009
form 80 request:Nov 12, 2009
form 80 sent:nov 14, 2009
PCC&Meds Request:July 1, 2010
Meds attended:July 6, 2010
PCC Sent:July 19
Grant letter received: July 28, 2010
Thank you everyone for your support, help and guidance. Some of the experiences that I would like to share here, about which I myself was very confused.
1 - You don't need to get PCC from every city where you have been living. Just a PCC from the current city is enough. I wanted to send the PCC"s from all the cities where I have been living but it was getting much time so I sent PCC from only current city.
2 - If you are in Pakistan, you don't need birth certificate. Family Registration Certificate issued by NADRA is acceptable.
3 - While filling in form 80 or any other form, give as much information as possible and don't use abbreviation like for the names of universities, names of degrees (e.g don't write MCS instead of Master of Computer Science) etc. I was asked to resend form 80 because of that in November although I had sent the form 80 along with my application.
4 - Give all the information even if it is not relevant. It makes the job of CO easier and esp for ACS to assess your skills. e.g I have done B.A in Journalism and Education but I mentioned it as well so that ACS and CO may know what I had been doing during that time.
5 - While filling in form 80, make it sure that there are no gaps after you completed your school. if you were doing nothing for 2 years for example, mention that you were doing nothing for that time. If your form 80 has gaps, then usually CO asks you to resend form 80 and that delays the processing a lot.
Ok friends, thanks once again and keep praying for me.
