Hi,

I'm sending in my medical results and police clearance certificates this month (June 2009)for a 176 visa as a life scientist nec ASCO code 2113-79. Have you any idea when my visa might be ready?

Dear Machinda,

I had submitted my 176 (NSW sponsored)as a life scientist NEC on 24th Jan. 2009 online, submitted Health checks and PCC on 29th Sept. 2009 and now waiting for outcome. All the DIC ppl are telling me in reply to my emails is that its going under routine processing. I might have to re-take medicals/PCC if decision is made past medical/PCC submission dates. Keeping my fingers crossed as i just sent them mail asking the above scenario. Hope that gives u some hope:-)

Hi Machinda
I think, in 2007, it was approximately 2 months after submitting the medical and PCC. Frankly speaking, I don't know what is the timeline presently. Should be 3 -4 months now (guessing).
