Really great news.:thumbsup:

Yeah I emailed the CO yesterday as the online status still showed that medical receipts were required. He replied and said they wasn't needed till the final part of the process, and today the online status showed everything as 'met' so I was hoping it wouldn't be long now.

Nic's back to the hospital tomorrow and they're gonna see if her ankle needs pinning, but either way it's gonna be a min of 6 weeks out of work with no pay so I'll be hobbling down to Centrelink with her! ... :lol:

Was out on Saturday and I got a little sloshed for once ... :rolleyes:

When we was attempting a flight of stairs, she was too concerned with looking back to see if I was gonna make them that she slipped on the last few and broke her ankle ... :(

Went to the hospital on Sunday and they put a temp cast on till Tuesday and the specialist were gonna decide whether a pin is needed. They phoned on Tuesday and said to come back tomorrow and they'll x-ray and go from there.

Cos we wasn't PR Nic has been a casual so no sick pay ... :(

Hey that's 2 frowns in my thread I've been waiting 5 years to post! ... :curse::D

CONGRATULATIONS PAUL & NIC, this is great to hear as this is the route we are taking, we leave in august for Adelaide where i will be doing hairdressing also.

Did you have enough hours (900) for the tra before you finished your course or did you have to apply for the graduate student visa first to gain the hours you needed.

My sister is a Citizen of Oz now and has been for 5 years so I think we will be looking at the 886 sponsored visa when I qualify.

What PR visa did you apply for?

Well done again, this is really positive for me to hear as I am really stressing and was having second thoughts about doing it, its such a big thing and we have 2 kids in tow,

Sharon
