Can anyone help us, our agent sent our visa application on the 3 september which i would have thought it takes about a week to get there, the agent still hasnt had a reply, how long for medicals and police checks to be asked for, we are going on my husbands job which is graphic pre press, so its a skilled independent visa, any advice would really help us.

Think that new processing times are usually around 5-6 weeks when they request your police and medicals

thanks for that, is it 5-6 weeks for date forms are recieved in oz, and do you know how long after this for final answer, we are trying to judge when to put up the house for sale, as we dont want to have our visas and still be stuck with the house.

Difficult to say when you get visa grant. Is your occupation on the MODL?

Skilled visa. My occupation is on the MODL but dont expect to get my skills assesment till the middle of February so not applying for the visa till then.
We are putting the house up for sale around May time of 2005
