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 Rach xxxx |

Hi Rach Firstly congratulations I bet your all so pleased.I see you used Global Visas they are our agent too.What Visa did you apply for and what is your timeline if you do not mind sharing with us.We are on the long wait at the moment main app sent in just before April deadline 2004.Were you pleased with Global Visas?.So far they seem to be okay.Enjoy your meal out with the family Cheers Cannot wait until its our turn.!!!

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 Rach x |
Congratulations!!!
Bet you can't wait - I know we can't!! Cheers & Best Wishes Sam & Andy |
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? |
Hi Rach

We are going to Albany Creek, Brisbane in September!!!!!!!!!!!!! keep in touch Rach x All our friends think we are mad as we have never been before but once we get over and validate then we can see for ourselves if it is for us!.In our situation with the visa ,we had to apply this year as we would not have had enough points due to hubbys age. There is not a day that goes by without thinking about it all .Are we doing the right thing etc,we know that we are going nowhere here and are not happy but do realise that Australia is not utopia and certaintly realised that by logging onto this forum everyday. We have two children one 5 and the other is nearly 2 hoping to give them a better lifeFfingers crossed,it all works out. Look forward to hearing from you again when you reach your destination.Take Care Gaynor. .:) |

Hi guys
sorry i've taken a while to reply to all the good luck messages but been a bit manic the last few days! As you know last night we went for a meal with my mum and step dad, Chanelle half way through the meal pulled out her passport with visa in and showed mum, who broke down in tears, said that 'we have to go and make a go of our lives but she will miss us so much', very sad, then Mark out of the blue said 'right well for xmas we are getting you a ticket to come out in March, let us know how long you want to come for!', she cried even more! Mum was planning on coming out for a fortnight in March anyway but i know money is a bit tight, so she is happier now! oh by the way, the food was great! then this morning whilst Chanelle and I were at the vets with the rabbit, the people who offered yesterday came for a second look, they love our bungalow, he especially loves Marks workshop and they have both said they can see themselves living out their later years here! The place they have sold is only 3mins away, they were both born locally so know the area and they are happy to complete the first week of September all being well with their buyers, so looks like at long last we have found people who will actually move in here! although i know only too well that nothing is 100% till its signed for! Debsy - MLBonner is right Chanelle is 12 on the 4th, we fly on the 7th, thus having to pay full fare for a piglet! Thanks again to everyone for you help, support and kind words love and hugs to you all Rach, Mark and a very excited Chanelle xxxxx |

I just said goodbye to my bestest and oldest friend, had to literally run to my car (ok, walk very quickly) to stop tears, but I daresay they'll be some before I go :eek: Look fwd to meeting you when you get to Albany Creek (see, got it now ;)) |
Re: cheers
Mmm, was really looking forward to our leaving party on the 13th, but the closer it gets the more i'm dreading it to be honest, had to book it early as we left it too late if you know what i mean, so will have to go through all the emotions twice (at the party then again before we leave the uk!) Where abouts are you heading for in Brisbane? (sorry forget)!
:scared: |

Haven't been on for a couple of days. Thought I better have a last look as on holiday for two weeks - fantastic news. That is great. So pleased for you all and very glad your mum is so positive. Hope the buyer continues to be as keen and it all goes through before the 7th September - whoaaaaa - not long now. All the best. Penny, Kevan, Heather and Abs.:PARTY: :PARTY: :PARTY: |
Re: cheers
Thanks Penny, like i said nothing is set in stone till the ink is dry but praying like mad that these are the ones!
