Re: Visa subclass 176 granted
One question, my visa subclass, initial entry date and visa expiry dates are not mentioned on my grant letter. These things I had to confirm from my online status. Is this a normal thing or I should ask my CO about this issue??
As in my status update, its mentioned that visa sticker not needed so a letter without these descriptions would be of any problem?

If you didn't get all the info I would let your CO know, but the visa is attached electronically to you passport. I'm not sure whether you want to pay the additional fee to have a visa label in your passport (it was around $70 for the label but haven't checked if that's changed recently). We just printed out all the documents and had those with our passports just in case

Re: Visa subclass 176 granted
I had three documents - Grant Notification, Visa Grant Important Information and Visa Grant Notice. The Visa Grant Notice had the grant number, issue date and cease date on it, but none of them have the first entry date. Can't remember if I had that info in the email, or if I got it from checking online.

Are there any documents you can download when you are on line - I used an agent to complete my application, and they sent me all the documents

Thanks in advance,
