It is a visa grant on 29/6/09.
basically iam from Egypt (HR) and J2EE develper (IT)
here are my time lines and some points i guess it might help:
Time lines:
- first visa lodging 15/9/08
did not get CO and had to lodge another application after 8 months of
waiting coz date of IELTS was after date of lodgment
- second visa lodge was 7/4/09
- Victoria state sponsorship granted 3/6/09
- medicals and PCC and form 80 sent on 23/6/09 then PLE sent to CO
informing that everything is completed
- happlily visa granted 29/6/09 :clown
Please note than the following is all just a guess from me
- my advice to all of you is go immediatly for state sponsorship
- Case officers vary from one to another , some look after the 28 or
70 days and some looks if u completed all documents and send a PLE that
eveything is ready
- front sending Medicals and PCC is always the best, it speed up the
whole process
- never ever lodge an application without completed IELTS results with
required score in every aspect (reading, writing etc)
- i guess reference checking is done inside DIAC on random bases , so
they do it for some applicants and others go from all documents met to
visa grant directly
It a strange mixture between big happienss and being sad to leave the
place where ur family and friends are living and a place which u will
miss it's taste
At the end all this process is under one valid statement "it can be a
year , it can be tomorrow"
I wish u all the best of luck and to have ur grants very soon
