Re: Online 175 Visa application - concerns
The online system will produce an electronic customised checklist once your application has been submitted and your credit card charged.
You can 'check the progress' using the TRN issued and this will bring up a page with a link to the checklist.
HAS ANYONE ELSE ACTUALLY SUBMITTED THEIR APPLICATION AND PAID USING THEIR CREDIT CARD OR IS IS JUST ME!!

ps for a generic checklist use the one for the paper applcation it should be the same

Re: Online 175 Visa application - concerns
Andy,
You're not the only one. I submitted (and paid) and have a TRN number with 'personalised' document checklist. This checklist that appears to ask for documents that would never have been required as the paper based 136. I suspect it will be resolved shortly, and it was always just teething issues with the system.
Hopefully we've staked our place in the queue and it will work itself out.....

Re: Online 175 Visa application - concerns
Anyone got any replies from DIAC yet?
I sent my queries off, and OH cheerfully informed me that if we put that we're Irish, we get the English language points (tried it on our saved application and it's true!!)
God alone knows when it'll be sorted out, I might just pay my money and take a chance!

Re: Online 175 Visa application - concerns
I have submitted (and paid for) an online 175 and with a British passport so no points credited as yet. I have had a number of emails apologising for the inconvenience and asking for various documents on the checklist. It's encouraging, they mentioned their teething problems, and I am reassured that my application is being looked at by real people (I have a named person now!) and that all will be resolved.
If you're waiting to see what happens then I suggest you just go for it......
They are also asking for medical and police records so I suspect the previous strategy of some people to 'front load' is essentially the new standard. i.e. apply for a visa with ALL paperwork and it 'should' be granted very quickly. So get those medicals and police check requests in now......

Re: Online 175 Visa application - concerns
Hi - another online guinea pig here!
Sent in GSM 176 (sponsored) application on Sunday night, paid and attached most docs except police check and medicals.
Have now received two identical emails asking for all docs included police and medical checks to be provided within 28 days. (Panic!)
It seems that the "online" versions of the medical and police forms are still unavailable and I asked the support staff whether the older "paper" versions would be accepted instead and the answer was yes.
However, I am not sure whether it's OK for the panel doctor to send the medical results directly to DIMIA rather than submit them online?
The doctor says he has always mailed them in the past and I suppose since we are instructed NOT to look at the resuls ouselves that he HAS to send the results directly...
Does anyone know the validity period of police check forms - I "just happen" to have one from 2004 that I assume is no longer usable.

Hi,
Police checks have a validity of 1 year and with this in mind your visa has to be validated before you PCC expires! Hope this helps.
Really exciting that they're already asking for medicals and PCC's guys!!!
Wonder when the first grants will be out!?

Re: Online 175 Visa application - concerns
You need to drop them an email with your TRN stating that you have applied for the police checks, when you expect to have them back and that you will scan and forward them on to them by email once you have them.
Re the medicals there is definately a problem with the interface between the application software and the medicals system.
I have been told to download, fill in and take the the generic 126 and 60 forms to the Panel doc in the normal way and writing your TRN on the top of the form. They will have to go in the queue I'm afraid and be processed manually.
Hope this helps.

With the medical forms will they be sent be post or will they get scanned in by doctor, otherwise they could get clogged up at LCU?
Will be interested to know how soon your visa gets processed as it all seems to be moving well, you deserve it after being the forum guinea pig
Sammy
PS Did you have everything scanned in already, and how did system cope with large amount of docs, did it all have to go seperately or can you condense them all - OH is better at this than me so will get him to do it when time comes. Speaking of which, OH is doing exam today, needed for skills assessment, so fingers crossed for 4 weeks time
