Re: OCTOBER 07 APPLICANTS
Dear All
submitted my visa 175 online last night at last. Just need to add documents and sort out medicals. Its a great relief to send it after years of talking about it. Was awake at four this morning worried that it won,t work out.
Have sold house and living in married quarters at mo. just need to get a job next as midwife somewhere on the sunshine coast hopefully.
will add my details to time line, good luck everyone

Re: OCTOBER 07 APPLICANTS
Booked meds this morning, for the 29th of October, speaking to the med centre they are inundated with medical requests, maybe there's a mass exodus out of Somerset at the moment.
So perhaps I'd better get in shape, what in 2 weeks - no chance!

Re: OCTOBER 07 APPLICANTS
Bet it all seems like a long time ago now, all the hassles of the visa process, now you probably just have all the hassles of real life!!

Just noticed that you are a midwife, same as me!
We submitted on the 13th October but having some problems now as I canot attach anything!
Where do you work at the moment?
I'm on the bank at my local unit, used to work nights but have found being on the bank is much better for family life, if not on the purse!
Good luck with all of your plans.

Re: OCTOBER 07 APPLICANTS
This visa business takes over your life, doesn't it?
We finally got through to ASPC this morning and hopefully our online application will be sorted soon, apparently there are some applications frozen in their system, trust ours to be one of them

Re: OCTOBER 07 APPLICANTS
Still having problems attaching anything, can't access anything as it either says service not available or password not compatible!
Have emailed and phoned ASPC, was told last Thursday, it would be sorted in 24 - 48 hours but no joy yet, looks like it might be another early morning call again tomorrow.
We checked credit card and they have taken the money out but according to chap at ASPC they cannot locate our application
Just a bit worried that we are sat waiting, thinking we are in the queue but in a months time will find out we have start again.
Ah well, these things are sent to try us
Hope all is well with everyone elses.

Re: OCTOBER 07 APPLICANTS
Hi All
Agent received all Doc's and Cert's required for my application this morning so fingers crossed that the application will be in in the next day or two.
Looking at the Sept thread the new 175 seems alot quicker. Glad i waited now
At first i was hoping for a CO for xmas, but after reading some of sept threads a visa for xmas would be nice
just have to wait,wait,wait and see.

Re: OCTOBER 07 APPLICANTS
With great excitement I can now add myself to the October thread
Applied this morning on line, but then the whole system went down so hopefully all went through OK, will find out if not.
Can't actually believe we've done it, I know we've a long way to go yet but its taken 6 - 7 months to get to this point and I am very happy!
Got a long list of jobs to get on with now, meds, selling house, sorting out whether dog is coming, a horse and pony to rehome, another glass of wine needed. Oh its only 10.40, maybe a calming cup of tea then.
Good luck to all.

Re: OCTOBER 07 APPLICANTS
Sadly my horse is not so good, he has fairly bad arthritis in his feet (and probably elsewhere too), I don't ride him very often, and think I would find it very hard to rehome him. I may have to face to what I've been avoiding for the last couple of years, he does appear to have got worse recently.
