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

Re: We got our Visas!!!!!
I am delighted for you now that your visas have been granted. It would be good to keep in touch with you and hear how you get on with having your baby over there and registering its birth locally.
We are still hopeful that we will be able to travel in time though we are still working on the bond.
All the best
Claire

Re: We got our Visas!!!!!
If only we knew!! Not constrained by job so going to explore the South West before making a decision. Mr J likes the look of the coast down there, I like the City Suburbs more. Still, as long as we decide before Mid May (when no 2 Jones baby arrives) that's fine by me!!
Keep in touch
