I can't believe that it's finally happened. We submitted immigration application back 12th March 04.
Flights are booked for the 1st March - very excited but very nervous, mostly about leaving family - isn't everyone?
Afraid didn't keep detailed timeline but it went something like this:
Applied to TRA for 136 Skilled 2003 - got it approved within a couple of weeks.
Immigration Application to Adelaide - 12th March 04
Submitted Medicals/xrays ahead of time - August/Sept 04
Submitted Police Checks - December 1st 04
Asked for Visa to be advanced due to Mrs J pregnancy and needing to fly.
Approved 11th December
Informed by Adelaide Police Checks were 'lost' - 22nd December
New Police Checks sent - Jan 5th 05 by Fedex
Found original Police Checks - 6th Jan 05
Asked for Bond - 14th Jan
Lodged Bond - 14th Jan
Visa Approval - 7th February I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!
Perth here we come

Mammoth congratulations! I've watched your rising question count as the time has approached - you see to ask the questions just as I am thinking them! Jealous, yes I am! Maybe see you there!
