Congrats for the grant, skalman!

There was also another grant today for 14th Feb applicant. I think I lodged my application too early as they seemed to have jumped over the beginning of January

Guys, does any difference exist between pre-grant letter and grant notification?

Australia_Mania,

When a grant letter is issue, you must be outside of Australia (if you applied for 175 or 176). So, if you are current living in Australia, they send you a 'pre-grant letter', so you can leave Australia for a few days before receiving the grant letter.

10x, Artemisa. It goes that skalman is now residing in AU ?!

As his location says 'Sydney' and he received a pre-grant letter, I guess so

haseeb85uk,
There is no need to have a CO to frontload the medicals or PCC.

But you are from Pakistan. It's not uncommon to see people from Pakistan going to external checks, which can take up to 18 months. Or more.

The medicals and PCC are only valid for 12 months (and the oldest one defines the initial entry date). I advise not to frontload your medicals.
