I just received the grant letter. Applied in April, body check in end May, first landing 1 November. I planned to land at Easter holiday next yeAr. Now need to make it an ad hoc summer holiday before kids go to school!! 大失預算。
I also received the grant letter this morning, but my first land deadline will be fallen on June 2016 that perfectlly fit my scheduled plan to aus in March 2016, so happy.
I will land in Mel. which visa you hold? 189 or 190? maybe different?
usually people said should have count 1 year from health check for first land deadline. I did the body check in end of June.
We requested on 13 Aug and they issued on 21 Aug. I suggest you call your assessor first and explained the urgency of your request. I remember that we also called them first.
