Title: Skilled Visa Post by: Stephen Holt on August 23, 2006, 10:40:49 AM we have been going through the migration process for approx 18 months now and all of the hurdles have been jumped and the fees paid. The money has been taken from our account for the medical bond but we have been waiting 4 weeks for the visa to come through: is this normal?? Obviously we are getting very frustrated as home, car etc all sold this end!!! just waiting to buy flight ticket.
Title: Re: Skilled Visa Post by: admin on August 23, 2006, 06:08:53 PM Yes this is normal, I know of cases lasting 2-3 months from all applications finalised to completion.
But I have heard it is quicker at the moment. As admin, I am not te guy to tell you any more and we are, at the moment getting some agents on board to tell you this sort of info! Its a very new site - so bare with us ;D John Title: Re: Skilled Visa Post by: Austimmigration on September 01, 2006, 01:44:31 AM Hi Stephen,
You probably refer to the Assurance of Support bond. It is normal to take a long time between lodgment of the bond and visa grant. It is best if you let your case officer know that the bond has been lodged and email a scanned copy of the receipt. This may speed up the process a little. Also check the dates of your police clearances and medicals. Most of those documents are only valid for 12 months. Your application has been pending for 18 months. You may check if a request for new set of those documents is coming. Dessie |
