Just out of curiousity(and boredom!!)Which company are you using..We are using OE Visas and they and there agent Tony have been tops!!!!!Very good for putting mind at rest!!My apologies for not listing them all!!
We are using Go Matilda although we haven't even got the first set of forms in yet. That's our fault not theirs, we are just sooo busy. However hubby was made redundant yesterday so we've got a few more quids in the pocket and a lot more time to get the house finished (our major source of funding) and sold. Hubby is in IT and planning on going contracting for a while, until we get the go ahead.

cheers

Hi there Rach and Family we are too using Global Visas and so far have found them fine TRA submitted and gave lots of good advise (although this was a bit of a nightmare with all the very detailed info etc.) Just had our main application papers and gathering information at present.How have found them and at what stage are you at ,at the moment? Cheers rolleyes:

We used Alan Collett at Go Matilda, top rate job. Got our visas 5 months after application, would have been sooner but a letter that DIMIA posted got lost in the Aussie mail system.

Highly recommended:)

Crikey!!! That was quick.Did you have to get your trade recognised first by the Tra or did you have a job lined up? We have been told it can take up to 15 months I suppose it depends on your situation and a bit of luck I reckon. Dreamaway Gaynor:rolleyes:

We used ian harrop & associates - in burford. Excellent job - very quick to reply to emails & phone calls - not that we needed to query much - brilliant job done - main application in 10/3/04 - visa recd 6/6/04 - not bad eh - considering that we are not nurses!!!

cheers

I used Ian Harrop & Associates, more specifically a dude by the name of Zeno Bolzicco.

Zeno is a top man, spent most of the time on the phone to him shooting the breeze about footy, cricket and other bloke stuff. He was extremely professional as well and secured my visa no probs.

ianj Feb 26th 2004 1:47 am

Hey Pocky, that is some going....................

Considering we arent even in march 04 yet and you have applied for your visa and been granted it in June 04.

A date mistake me thinks

SteveBannister Feb 26th 2004 1:48 am

Like Boomie, we are also using AMA Ltd. They have been brilliant and we can't fault them.

Steve.

KathDore Feb 26th 2004 5:00 am

Hi we're using Global Visas too!!
Ok I suppose mind you we've had about 4 different agents (within Global) since this all began as they are all going back to Ozzie. The lady we have a the moment is really nice and helpful. Just gotta what for the meds now (only another 40 something weeks to go!!!):rolleyes:

TRA first, that bit took five months on its own. Now we have our visas, the bloody house is taking its time to sell. Theres nothing like having a viewing booked and the people dont show up:mad:

We used concept Australia and no complaints !!! We got our spouse visa in 10 days and they were always available on the phone .:)
They had a few staffing problems that were frustrating but have been sorted out and were very efficient after that.
