Got visa but gutted
Have just received email saying that we have received our 136 visa at last but as luck would have it last weekend my girlfriends mum was rushed into hospital with some sort of brain haemorrhage and is still in intensive care now, so after all the fretting and waiting and waiting over last 6 months (18 months since started planning) or so it now seems like we actually wont be going at all.We were meant to be going at beginning of November but it just aint gonna happen unfortunatley.
So I was just going to say that i know loads of people are worrying about delays on medicals etc etc -I have definately been one of them (constantly reading the "delays at lcu" thread to get any glimmer of a hope and reading about professional princess' dramas- that what has happenend to my mrs mum sort of puts it all in perspective.
Anyway this sounds like a sob story and usually i hate those types of posts!!
Good luck to everyone with their visas, i'm sure they will arrive

Congratulations anyway and fingers crossed that she pulls through and maybe you'll just be going a bit latter than you'd first planned!

sorry to hear about your bad news. but Congrats on the visa.
would there not be a possibility of going on a validation trip when your MIL is better at least then you may still have the option to go when she's fully recovered

As a nurse i see this most days, but reading your post on this forum is still a good slap round the face!
I wish you, your girlfriend and your future mother in law all the best and a speedy recovery. Whether you go to Australia is insignificant now, so in a way thanks for the post. A good dose of a reality check now and then, is just what is required now and then!
Good Luck

Re: Got visa but gutted
I am sorry to hear your news, why dont you try to get a valid trip and then at least you could go out in the next 5 years. It was the same for us my uncle died in accident (we did valid trip) and we put off our move on hold, but now feel it is ok time to go and move out hope all goes well for your mrs mum and good luck to you both .

Re: Got visa but gutted
I am so sorry to hear your bad news, i really hope that your girlfriend's mum has a full and speedy recovery.
I agree with the other's i think you should validate your visa when the timing is right so that you can still live there if you want too.

Re: Got visa but gutted
I'd say it's a case o 'S**t happens'.
Just when you think the world has changed for you, you get a wake up call that puts you with your 2 feet back on the ground.
Everytime something good happens, it seems that something bad follows it.
Sorry to hear this mate.
Like said before, go and validate your visa and then return, at least you'll keep all your options open.
Good luck with yuo MIL's recovery and chin up!! Something positive will follow soon
