Sucha a Happy moment, just like many of u, I have been waiting for dis day for....so long. Nothing different from u, it took so many sacrifices, lot of patience and perseverance to finally...reach here. God has been really..really kind.

I got CO on 10-Apr-2012 just like other 27th Oct 2011 applicants. The CO asked for FORM 1023 (to remove parents & sibling from Non-Migratory List), Medicals n PCC. The same day I submitted FORM 1023, which was indeed a easy task. I had already applied for my PCC (Both India & UK) and had taken my Medicals on 07-Apr-2012 itself. Just took few days for medicals to get finalized. However, to get a PCC in india is definitely a nightmare, particularly, if ur address on passport is different than ur current address. After thousand rounds of local police station, commissioners ofc, RPO & Passport Seva Kendra, I finally got my India PCC. But, UK PCC was still getting delayed as I applied during easter vacation time. Just to speedup the process, I just called the police department in UK and asked them to post the PCC to one of my friend who is still in UK rather than to me. It just took one day to reach him and one day for him to send me the scanned copy. Yesterday night at 11.50pm I uploaded my UK PCC and today morning I have my Grant.

I would like to thank all the members of this forum, who made dis task easier for me. Wishing u all a speedy grant and a successful future in Australia soon.....

Please update my timelines as shown in my signature.
Congratulations Congratulations for the miracle....

Hi Sadie,

I checked in the view entitlement link and there is no visa grant yet.

May be next week.

Congrats Louisam. You said CO allocation was 19th April, then how come you were contacted by CO for Form 80 on 3rd April?. Some disconnect here.

It took slightly more than a month for da whole pcc procedure. It should ideally take much less time if u could manage to chase people from ur local police station n get ur file cleared. Once dat is done go to commissioner's ofc n get it cleared to make ur file reach rpo. Wait for da confirmation SMS or email from rpo before u go back to passport seva kendra to collect da pcc.

Hi Mac, Congratulations. It really seems extremely fast. I mean that the below timeline is unbelievable.

Visa:175| Application date:27-Oct-11 |CO:10-Apr-12|Medicals Finalized:12-Apr-2012 |PCC: India:16-Apr-12, UK:18-Apr-12 |Visa Grant:21-Apr-12

For 175, CO allocation looks reasonable.

Did you front loaded the Medical and PCC before CO allocation and the timeline that you showed is just the clearance from CO?

What about the Form 80 verification? Did they conduct - not sure if one can be aware of?

Also, what about the Verification of Job, did that happen and what was asked?

It seems that after medical and PCC within 3 days you received your Visa Grant.

Extremely fast. Kindly clarify the doubts. Good Luck with Australia !!!

Regards,
Ravinder
