Hi!!

For those who lodged their visa application online, how long did it take for the embassy to grant the visa? Did anyone of you do some follow ups?

Need some info badly. Thank you very much! Good luck to all of us. â˜í ¼í¿»

I think i would do that. :)

anyway, i hope i'll have my visa early next year. I'm eyeing for Jan intake in La Trobe. Do you think it's a good uni for bp?

Hi! I am currently in the middle east so I called the nearest embassy of Australia in my area. And if you try to call the immi office in Australia, it would cost you a lot of money and waiting time. I'm still searching for places to stay. Hopefully your visa comes out soon.

Hi all! My hubby received his AHPRA referral for bridging program yesterday. He sent it in the Sydney office and they received it on 1 May 2015. We wasn't contacted by a RO throughout the process.. We didn't attach any of CHED, etc (new requirements) .His application was a lot faster than mine (I waited for 6 months for my LOE.. This was 2 years back).. Now time to scout for a Bridging school! All the best guys!!! :)

No need to do a follow-up for the visa application. I lodged mine last July 29 after completing the medical tests then received my visa on Aug 15. That's more than 2 weeks. I was expecting for the immigration to release my visa after a month but I got it as early as expected. :) Btw, I'm going to ACFE for the bridging program. Any feedback about that school would be appreciated?

Do you guys have reviews regarding the bridging program in Deakin University?

I knew a classmate of mine who had his BP there. I heard from another classmate that he got stressed there because of the exams. But nonetheless, I think he's ok. If you've got significant hospital experience, I think you can handle the BP in any school. One thing about the unis though, their reputations are really good. And they're well known. We rarely find reviews on schools in the internet.

That's good news! Thank you for sharing this. I never heard anything from them since i lodged my application last month. At least there's hope. :) How did you know that they received your hubby's application on May 1? Congratulations to you both! :)
