Re: how do you stop yourself looking at the visa update thingy ??

And i thought i was the only one doing this, even though realistically i know it will be at least another 3 months before we get a CO, but check just in case there is a surprise for us

i suppose its all part of the excitement and fun

Re: how do you stop yourself looking at the visa update thingy ??

The whole visa thing has sent my head crazy! I feel like im a drug addict or something! I just can not stop myself. I keep looking on the visa timeline thing as well - to see how quick others are getting theirs, even tho they have applied for a different type!

I seriously need locking up! - we all do!!

Imagine what it would be like if all BE's got locked up in one cell with only one computer - it'd be a blood bath!! - unless we formed an orderly british queue and took turns to check emails etc!

that was good!!
It would be like having a alcoholic anonymous meetings with everyone introducing themselves as "I am Joseph, & I am a VISA ADDICT, I used to check my e-mails countless number of times a day, I could not go a day without checking the DIAC website, I could not live without thinking of life down under............

Re: how do you stop yourself looking at the visa update thingy ??

I was also obsessed with it. However, once I recevied my visa, I checked it again out of curiosity and it still hadn't been updated. It was the same a week later. Therefore, don't stress too much about it. You'll probably hear through your agent first. Good luck.
