Re: how long from CO - to visa grant
Does someone else not take on her work when she is not there?
Hopefully your visa grant will come on a day she works and that she phones you straight away, can you phone her to ask that when she hears she phones you or emails that way you wont be waiting longer than necessary.

The Waiting Game!!
Hi All
It is nice to read your posts and realise it is not only me who is getting so fed up waiting and coming up against one obstacle after another it really gets you down.
My husband and applied in April 2006 and a CO was allocated to us in August 2006, we thought we were getting near the end of the process when my Aunt was asked to complete the AOS application and go for a meeting at centrelink.............. but no another obstacle she doesn't have a high enough income to support the two of us.
The good news is you are allowed up to 3 AOS so my friend in Australia has agreed to be the other AOS for us. He has a meeting at the end of January and I am hoping there is not too long a wait after this........
We are renting a flat at the moment and our 6 month lease runs out at the end of this month - now do we sign for another 6 months????
Going to try and start getting rid of the junk in the flat and clear out those cupboards and get a bit organised in the hope of a positive response.
Good luck to all those who are waiting - we will have to keep our chins up - we will get there in the end.

Re: how long from CO - to visa grant
Hi Nicky,
I hope that when you visa desicion is in its on a day your agent works so that you are not waiting too long, just wondered why she couldnt phone you then send paperwork in the post, oh well guess thats how some people prefer to work.
Hi Amanda welcome to list off nearly got it visa's, it is frustrating at times and yes i am not sleeping very well at the moment with the waitng but will remain positive as i know at least we are nearly there with the desicion.
Bexie first thing i have done when i got home from work is to see if anyone has been granted a visa yet but alas no. Theres always tomorrow, also the ever optomist

Hi Amanda, just wanted to ask? how long between your Aunt going into Centrelink, for her interview, to when you were told about the insufficient income thing..
we're in a similar position, whereby our sponser (hubby's cousin) is going in for an interview to Centrelink, within days.. and we wondered how long the process was from that point onward...
I hope you have good news soon Amanda
kindest regards
Bonny

Re: how long from CO - to visa grant
Well I have decided to use this time wisely............................................ .................................................. .........................................and sample a different bottle of Australian wine each evening!! 
Hubby has got some Coopers Australian beer (which he took a liking to whilst on our recce) I am sampling Brown Brothers Muscat tonight, however it is a bit sweet for my liking, but I'll suffer it.

Re: how long from CO - to visa grant
Hi Girls
thank you all for the welcome!!!
Bonny to answer your question it wasn't too long after my Aunt went to Centrelink maximum two weeks when my agent got back to me to say her income was too low. So you shouldn't have to much of a wait to find out if your AOS has been accepted.
Good luck to you all x

Re: how long from CO - to visa grant
Hello to everyone in the same position we find ourselves in. We also got a CO on 5th Decmber and had meds/PCC's requested. We already had the PCC's and the meds were booked for 7th December. Both the meds and the PCC's were in Australia before Christmas, the 18th December to be exact. We haven't heard a thing yet.
I thinks it's because we are all so close to a final decision that the short wait we now have is harder than the 6 month wait for the CO.
Could anyone give me anymore excuses to check my email while I'm at work. My absence's from the workshop have not gone unnoticed. If I use the 'I'm going to toilet' excuse any longer they'll think Ive got some sort of bowel related illness.
Heres hoping we all get an answer soon.
Cheers,
FTA

Re: how long from CO - to visa grant
Yup, sure is pritty tricky at this stage. Infact I'd even say WAITING for a CO was easier and more tolerable than the period after being given a CO.
I wish I could just phone ASPC up tonight and they'd say "oh, actually Pearly, you've already been granted your visa".
I'd be sending every one of you a PM as well as posting huge Got It's on at least two of the forum rooms.
I've been trawling through rentals in Melbourne tonight already. Got so much to arrange. Getting a shipping quote on Saturday.
Come on Ms CO, you can do it!!!!!!!!!
