We already gone over that

Australians dont like being chased or harassed, its bit like the people working at DIMIA, it is only a small percentage of aussies. Dont take it the worry way, just think, they could be stuck in some office with no air con......even that would get me cranky

Yes, no offence meant, of course!

I know, just teasing ya back! ;o)

Personally speaking I have found 99% of Aussies to be very helpful and friendly which is one of the many plus points for moving there April 1st, watch out Victoria!!

:QUOTE=gogi79]Helloo guys ,
I just want to share this shock with u ,I recently have been offered a place in an institution in australian, and I send to the institution accepting their offer and requesting the details to forward my tution fees ,but for a week i iddnt get any reply,and when i send them again requesting for the dteails ,i got thie reply
"we suggest you either to be patient or you can search for a similar program i nanother institution "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!
I couldnt believe it ,I never dreamt that i could get such a reply , i have been in contact with colleges all over the world and the guys are always friendly and happy to answer any question ,
so I am wondering are austrlaians are that rude ???becasue if the senior coordination of the international student services is such a rude person, I wonder how rude are the regular people in other trade , since this officer must have specific personality for such a position !!![/QUOTE]
Helloo everyone
Do I always meet the rude ones only??
After I had my previous experience above I went yesterday to the Australian Embassy to certify my photos to send them with my application to sit for the A dental Council exam .I handled my photos and the note from the ADC to the officer and asked to certify my photos ,he took them and I found him cerifying the note instead of the photos he didnt even bother to read the note which explains that he must certify the photos and my signature then the conversation was exactly as follows:
Me: Sir ,Sir ,U will have to certify my photos not the note !
Australian officer :" .........." no reply he took the photos and stamped and handled them to me.
Me: Sir ,the note states that u have to certify my signature too .
officer: "This is ridiculous ,We never got something like that b4 " :scared:
Me: "that`s what the ADC note states ,Sir "
Officer :with a very hight tone ,while waving by his hands " THIS IS DONE","this is the best what I can do ",and he left
Then the Egyptian officer came along ,and she apologizes ,and told me try to send the photos to the ADC this way and I hope they will accept them.
So I just want to know ,Does anyone here consider this as a normal thing ?????????
waiting for ur comments

I've been treated in a rather high-handed manner by Aussies working at the High Commission in London, and when I applied for my tax file number in Cairns. But take it from me (and others) this is not typical of Aussies, just some of the ones it seems who work for the gov't, though by no means all of them. In other words, you should find most Aussies are friendly, open and helpful to complete strangers, and the few that aren't are the ones with the problem, so just ignore them.

Thanx alot tonky38 for the advice ,and I will defineitly use it.

I contacted the embasy in London by e-mail several times with questions and i found them to be very quick in replying and very helpfull.

Well, I had dealings with them 10 years ago, so it's pretty likely the personnel have changed since then.

no they are not ...it's just all the st*ck up tw*ts in further education.

(this should liven things up)
