Thanks Bob, it will be great if the 176 process will be this superfast but as er forums they seem to be fast too at times under 2months, maximum I see is about 4-5 months.

[Guest ozdreamsa]

Hi arntoh, Congratulations, good luck to all who are waiting for SA SS.

Big Bob, you are famous mate, saw you somewhere else I cannot remember.

Hi arntoh, Congratulations, good luck to all who are waiting for SA SS.

Big Bob, you are famous mate, saw you somewhere else I cannot remember.

 

OMG! you are pumping me now... ...Thanks OZ dreams ...wait I will give you options to remember because it could be just any of these three...

 

1. British Expats VICTORIA Sponsorship Thread

2. POMZ VICTORIA Sponsorship Thread

3. POMZ ACT Sponsorship Thread ( I started that )

Well nice to be part of this thread too....I know by the time I get Visa I would be a registered MARA agent... All the best for your application...

cheers!

@Adelaide_bound : Can we have something like this on first page if it helps...just a personal suggestion...Everyone can track their sponsorship, case officer allocation as well as visa progress etc. Like a snapshot of complete thread.

cheers!

So with you there - unfortunately I am not the person to ask - you need to get a Mod (I think) to do it Tyke was one, but is no longer I believe.....I'm awful I don't actually know who our Mods are (they do such a good job obviously they are invisible with their Mod hats lol)

[Guest Adelaide_bound]

Oh, there was a Signature thread where people could post timelines, which might be something....

[arntoh]

Guyz this feels great I also came in from other forums but am happy with this one as I am interacting with the very people am gonna be with once I reach the other side of the ocean.. Cant wait to get that 176, let's keep this thread rolling who has already lodged his/her 176???

[Guest Lsmith]

I lodged my application on the 26th of June and it was granted by the 5th of July! SA seems to be moving quickly! Good luck

[Guest Guest8609]

Looks like so far people who are waiting for SA sponsorship are:

 

Lenore - docs received in SA - July 25th

Jerrychokes - July 25th

Josie - July 29th

Big Bob (hi, I wrote to you recently, thanks for response!) - August 3rd

 

Hope I haven't overlooked anyone.

For some reson Jerrychokes and me got 'No decision yet' status removed and Blah blah message about being unable to give timeline by SA back in description

I found another person who had same experience on another forum (also docs received on the 25th). Hope it's nothing serious, maybe people just got impatient when 'No decision yet' was added too early...

Anyway fingers crossed, good luck and keep posting, guys

 

I'm going for holidays on Sat and I can't focus on preparation at all I'm really hoping to get the sponsorship; we tried last year but just bad luck - our application was suspended and then cancelled due to July changes.

You are indeed lucky as you just got off the edge...1 favour...could you please edit your last post and delete the long quoted message as its too big...thanks in advance and all the best and luck for your 176 visa...take care

[Guest ozdreamsa]

Nice work, big bob, you are the one who started ACT sponsor thread in PIO, that was very helpful n I followed that regularly until I found my skill is no longer needed in ACT. Then I came here n kind of happy as SA seems much more promising.

 

It would be so nice if we really get PR n meet someday. I have not submitted 176 yet, need some time, hopefully can do that on coming weekend.

[Guest Adelaide_bound]

Oh Bud !

I got it...try this...you don't need mod to start a thread..

Sorry - a bit distracted with the riots at the mo - Ah...see you have done one, well done

 

It appears you can't do the 1100 online anymore (have to email them ) , do we need a line in there for medicals and police checks? Might give people an idea of when CO are granted, when meds requested and so on?

I know...economy and US dollar are in sync... I work for an American Giant IT MNC... Right now on verge of getting promoted...but things look too uneasy and change so suddenly...Last time in 2008 when Recession 1 came I got promoted with peanuts..Reason : Recession....Lets c this time what they have for my promotion? Pringles and Coke

 

Over your idea ...Yes we can add case officer meds etc....once we have people in list get to that point...thanks
