Being Positive On 115!!
a lot of people reckon it's the end of the world, but i truly believe that if u want something badly enough u will get it.
Me & my family have lodged our visa papers with our agent but await my tra decision which is highly unlikely to come before the 14th of April, a sleepless night & some tears were shed last night but in the cold light of day you realise that while you can do your best to be prepared no one knows whats round the corner.
If we do miss the boat by the 14th then we look at some other way or method, is living in a regional area for two years really that much of a hardship when you want to fulfill the dreams of your family.
Who knows, we might never get there, but you can be damn sure that when me & my wife look in the mirror we will be able to say we done our damndest to get there!!
chins up folks!! if u want it u can have it.

(hic!). Me too. It is Friday.Anyway, I believed all the rumours on here over the last couple of months and started looking for nomination. Fingers crossed Victoria will do the biz for me, or if not it's into the bush we go. I don't really care so long as we get there.
Plan A has gone but I still have B, C .......

We are in an almost identical position to you, waiting for TRA to come back, but it is unlikely to be here before the 14th so we are already planing to go Sponsored route.
We to were disappointed yesterday but were expecting it as we heard it was coming, like you said you have to move on and deal with it, no point dwelling.

My agent took until this afternoon to admit that there was 'a change that was relevant to me'. I asked them twice before that and they insisted there was nothing to report. Bloody useless. Wish I hadn't bothered. I expect somebody I'm paying to look out for me to report stuff to me before I read it on a public forum but I know where I'm better off

Hey there wmoore.
Sounds like you agent is not too good at communication ?
How about letting us all know who your agent is, at least then the newbies can make a better judgement when engaging a new agency

The intial advice they offered me was fairly comprehensive (for £135 service) but the 'ask your advisor' service leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion :lecture: From what I've read, you'd be better to see somebody like George Lombard or Alan Collett (regulars on this forum).

From what I have read the "Regional" Australia visas are not that far from the CBD's.
Having looked at a UBD (A to Z) today there are areas not more that 35 - 40 minutes from Brisbane that classify as "Regional"
I travel that into work now so it wouldn't bother me!!

I'd have to say that I wish that I joined this forum before I signed up with an agency. I know that hindsight is a wonderful thing but Alan Collett would have been the man for us !
A message to all you newbies out there. Check out GoMatilda, seems like a good deal (and NO, I'm not on a backhander here).
