Hi All,

My Status changed and I got, Form 80, Medical and PCC request on 23th Feb 2011. My Document checklist says “met” everywhere. We gave medicals on 25th feb and within 2 days my status changed to -

“Health requirements finalised Message
Further medical results received Message Further medical results received Message
Further medical results received Message
HIV blood test received”

Not sure what does that mean?

Also, I have given the application for PCC and hopefully I shall get it in 10 days or so. Can anyone explain is there anyway my VISA can be rejected and where I stand today?

Thanks

Mmanjerekar- Seems I do not have permission to edit the signature but I applied for BA - Vic SS in the 3rd week of Jan around (23rd Jan) via agent. Still waiting for the response...let's see how it goes. Else 175

Same case with me. Did they ask any extra doc from u? I submitted written statement and got ack on 1 feb. how long u plan to wait before going 175 and have u applied anywhere else

Will wait for Vic response...as I don't want to rush. No other state as of now and I think my profile would be suitable only in Vic or NSW (no SS available). As long as BA are on the list, I will wait for Vic and if not apply for 175. They asked for a statement and acknowledged it on 31st Jan or 1st Feb.

Hi guys i want to say that i can confirm that there seems to be discrimination in victoria ss based on your nationality. I have noticed people from western countries and Americans get SS very quickly while indians and asians and arabs get delayed for v long time. For example you noticed a senior B.A from usa who doesn't know what "ERP" means got SS v quickly. yet highly experienced indians and asian ppl waiting since god knows when did not receive reply or most of them rejected even with glowing cvs.

I myself waiting since Jan no reply, my friend is south african from the western breed got accepted just last week he applied in Feb. Anyways this is not an angry post, i just thought i'll highlight this i have noticed in many forums exact same situation in regards to Victoria SS discrimination.

WA & SA on the other hand don't seem to discriminate based on your race or nationality i came to this conclusion after lot of research and seeing people personal experience all over the internet and in real world

I would agree, it seems there is discrimination. I do have 16 years experience, had a letter from my manager on company letterhead, work for a global company that has a presence in Australia, and also have a reference listed in my CV who is a senior manager in Australia. So I have a feeling all of those things helped me, as well. My ACS RPL was processed very quickly, too (I don't think they discriminate based on nationality).

re: ERP, that's not my area of experience.

I don't think it's discrimination...but based on number of application from a particular region. Given Indian and Asians have the most number of applications I think we should give some space to the assessors for their analysis. Let's not make this forum a place to criticize

Hi Riza2012,

We are free to express our opinion/observation, but we should not criticize others.
Hope you will get a positive result soon...
