Default 14 months today........

.........and still no visa.

Another month marked on the calender. I was convinced that our application would be processed within 9 - 12 months.....cannot believe that I am still waiting.

The objective of being in Aus by Feb next year so that our daughter could start Grade 1 with everyone else, has faded.....it is now impossible as we have property to sell before we move (and the economic climate has changed SUBSTANITALLY in the last couple of weeks....not a good time to be selling a USD based property).

Anyway, not worth moaning.....just wanted to post as I believe in the power of collective positive thinking.....
So if you have a moment - send some good vibes our way - we sure could use it !

In fact, the original vosa application still hasn't been done due to some kind of Labout Agreement dispute that still hasn't been resolved as far as I know. When I got a job offer the new one only took about 6 weeks.

You'll be fine. Positive vibes winging their way to Aruba (first they have to check the map to make sure they're going to the right place)
