Comes in 3's!
 

Hi everyone!
well someone said not long along that good news comes in threes, i think it was my fairy godfather (you know who you are x)
today was the day! this morning at 8.30am our postie came to the door with a big envelope containing our passports with our visas in from our agent Global Visas!!!!
at 9.00am, we had a call from the estate agents (not the one i've just left the other one) to say a couple would like to view in 15 minutes time (good job i was up early today!), they are in their 60's he is a model railway enthusiast and loved Marks workshop, she said she could see herself living here! they have sold to a couple who have sold to FTB's who've had survey and mortgage offer! The couple who viewed have offered full asking and are cash buyers!!!!!! we have accepted subject to survey and have another viewing at 5.30 this evening, she is SSTC to first time buyers too, so we'll see!
Oh and by the way, booked our tickets to Brisbane, with a 2 night stopover in Singapore, got 40kg baggage allowence, cost all in £1800, unfortunately Chanelle is 12 three days before we fly so had to pay adult fare but hey, things are beginning to look up! We fly at 6.30pm on September 7th 2004!!!!
going out for a meal this evening with Mark, Chanelle, my mum and step dad, sort of a late bday pressie and a celebration!
Thanks for listening and for all the advice and support over the months,
love and hugs

Hi Gaynor
thanks for the best wishes, starting to feel real now!
Global Visas have been great, the only thing i will say is that our first agent left, so we were issused with another one, not that that is a problem as they did the job and helped to get us our visas!!!!
Our main application was acknowledged on October 14th, Skilled Ind. 136, hubby is a solid plasterer. We did our meds unrequested on 25th March and they were requested a few weeks later (crossed in the post!), our pcc's went in the same time roughly, then we were asked for our bond money which was lodged on the 14th June, Visas granted on 13th July!!!!!
all in all from the TRA stage it's taken 1 year one month!

Best of luck
Rach, Mark and Chanelle xxxxx

Thanks very much for your reply.Getting your visa did not take as long as thought then.We are in the same position applied skilled 136 and also need to lodge $100aus for bond.We thought about front loading our meds but I think we will wait until we get the go ahead we shall see closer to the time .Take Care Gaynor:)

Just a thought where are you planning on going to?:)

Gaynor
 

Hi Gaynor
i'd think about doing your meds after 6 months if you haven't already been requested by then! the waiting is a nightmare but believe me it will soon fly by then your feet wont' touch the ground! Do you have a property to sell? is it on the market?
We are going to Albany Creek, Brisbane in September!!!!!!!!!!!!!
keep in touch

Congratulations!!!

Bet you can't wait - I know we can't!!

Cheers & Best Wishes

Hey Rach
Great news:)

Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Hope it all works out for you this time.

How comes you had to pay full fare for Channelle when she was not 12 for three more days - did you buy a return ticket?
