Do you mind me asking a few things? How quickly did you get a case officer? Were you were required to do medicals? Were you required to provide UK police checks or just AFP checks?
Enjoy your new status - in another 15 months you'll be eligible for citizenship!

We didn't get notified of a case officer...first we heard was a DM asking for our son's newly updated passport (it had expired).... We did front load the Oz police checks just in case, so don't know whether they are a requirement or not.
We have not left Oz since our arrival on the SIR VISA, so were not asked for any other police checks. We did not have to do new medicals either, thankfully.
All the best

When you say you front loaded your AFP checks do you mean you completed and submitted Form 1101 (Policie Records Check) to DIAC with your application or did you do something different?
Sorry for all the questions, but I'd like to do whatever I can to speed things up on my application.

Could you write something regarding the 1 year full time work requirement. What they were asking you for regarding the work evidence when you applied for the 887 SIR 2nd stage visa? I'm asking because we are waiting for the SIR Visa (onshore) and would like to stay self employed and have our own business...
Thank you

it has to be a job or two jobs with 35 hours in total a week and u should produce evidence with payslips, letter from ur employer and/or group certificates..
if u would like to stay self employed u can.. but u have to document ur trade activities (profit /loss) with supporting documents from your accountant..
if u contact with immigration office they will inform you better..
cheers..

It is great to see that DIAC are processing February applications which gives the rest of us hope that the wait time might be reducing.

Hi Geelonger
i want to know whether you sent your Australian police clearance certificate online or by post. If you sent it online, then can you please tell me the email address.
If you sent it online, did you get any reply that your documents have been received by the adelaide skilled processing centre.
Please reply ASAP.

Re: Skilled Regional 887 (for SIR 2nd stagers)
Hi,
We applied for 887 on 10th Jan 2008. submitted medicals and police clearances in Feb. Got CO on 20th June. Had to wait for a passport for my newborn. Uploaded last of the requested doc's on 8/8/08.
When I rang them 2 weeks ago, I was told that my case had been handed over to the decision making dept.
Does anyone know how long I will have to wait now? What does the decision maker do that your case officer hasn't already done???
I am sooooooo tired of waiting, it's just making me nervous!
