Re: Any October 2006 Applicants?
They debited ours about 4 days after the Ack letter. Just a shade under 800 nicker. Just what we need this side of Christmas eh?
Good job I had budgeted for it, and I think I would rather have a cheap Crimbo and a Australian Visa, than an expensive Crimbo!
Looks like you another Westcountry peep looking to get over there huh?

We're right down west, heading towards the Lizard. Never thought I would be saying that I would want to leave Cornwall.
Is it just me that Im excited just about recieving an acknowledgement letter? I suppose now the waiting really begins.

No, it's not just you, it's a top moment when you get your Acknowledgment letter, as it gives a firm date when they got your app forms. For me it's exciting because you know then it is out of your hands and you are well on the way to getting down under.
I am hoping to get my Meds and Police Checks done in March, ready for when they need them, and hopefully be over there end of our summer, start of their spring.. nice.
I'm in Torquay by the way, and yes, I know what you mean, it's difficult to leave such a unique place as the Westcountry. I always loved South Devon, and then the dross started to move in. I think I just fancy some different scenery and an adventure.

Wooo cool, well done.
I reckon as a rough rule of thumb going by the timelines I have seen, most people are looking at about 6-7 months from Ack letter for Visa Grant. No guarantess though.

Looks like it. I have been using George Lombard as my agent and he says that timeframes expand and contract all the time.
If you look at the latest progress dates from the DIMA it's seems as though the priority apps are being caught up by the non-priority and they are almost taking as long as each other. How long did you reckon it would take?

Re: Any October 2006 Applicants?
Peronally I reckon we will get COs around Easter time. You might get one earlier, it all depends on how they get through the exisiting applications. Got to factor in their Christmas break too. Damn them wanting time off over Christmas!
Bah Humbug.. Hahahaha, Only kidding, I think they probably work very hard and deserve plenty of time off, I just hope they get some Elves in to cover for them.

Re: Any October 2006 Applicants?
[Hi this is maybe a silly question but here goes anyway. In my e-mail acknowledgement it said about an enclosed attachment and how to open it or read pdf files. I couldn't find any attachment ,did anyone else have this or am I just worrying over nothing? My computer skills are not the best !! Janice

Re: Any October 2006 Applicants?
Your email should have a PDF Document attached that shows you all of your acknowledgement details.
I would query it if there is definately no attachment on the email at all.

have still not received our acknowledgement - sent application 6th October - am starting to panic as most people are saying applications sent lot later than 6th. Not using an agent so no feedback there - have emailed Adelaide but no reply so far - does anyone know how long it takes for them to reply - if indeed they do reply!! -
Only other solution is I left my husband posting the acknowledgement - he could possibly have put a 2nd class stamp on it!!!
Any suggestions anyone please!!!!!!!
