What could go wrong ???
 

Hi all

Just wondered if anybody had any ideas as to what could actually go wrong with a DIMIA application once sent?

My hubby thinks I am being too over confident about getting our Visa, am I?

Is there anybody on here who has been refused, or do you know of anyone?

We don't have criminal records and our health is good, we are just waiting for requests on those.

Any comments appreciated, thanks in advance
Theresa

Depends how you have accumulated the points that you require. If your applying for a 136 skilled ind visa and your claiming bonus points for working in an occupation that is closely related to the occupation stated on the visa application, it's possible that the DIMIA may disagree and not award the additional bonus points.

They may also take a look at your passport photo and decide that your to ugly to be allowed to live in Oz!!!!!!

In all honesty your probably be fine. I imagine most of us had the same worries as your husband during the application process. I know that I did, I didn't want everyone to get there hopes up to high only to be told no.

Good luck

Thanks for the reply. We are applying on a 136 skilled visa but he is the right occupation.
Also we're not that ugly....so should be okay.

Thanks, Theresa

something unexpected happened to us - i too considered myself to be in good health but my chest x-ray showed up a small calcified scar which apparently can be caused by TB - this came as a complete shock to me as i'd had no major or even minor health issues. because it looked quite an old scar my visa was granted but i was to be monitored further upon entry (known as a health undertaking). we were planning to move in march of this year but when you sign a health undertaking instead of having 12 months to validate your visa you only have six which meant we had to bring every thing forward by a full six months, a bit like having a fire cracker lit at your feet especially if you have a house to sell, fortunately we managed it and moved here in october. i had my first check up at the chest clinic within a few weeks of arriving and will have another later this year.

I do hope that everything goes alright for you, don't want to piss on your fire but you can never really know what is around the corner. Like DI i thought that i was fairly healthy, i box 3 times a week, play football so it came as a right shock that after we had our meds to be told that i had a heart problem. After finding this out i paid privately to see a heart specialist who told me that one of my ventricals in my heart was slightly slower than it should be. Our meds were sent off to oz with a B clerance. A few weeks later on the day i was going for another test a letter arrived from oz asking for more information, i went for my test ( had radiation injected into me and then they watched it go around my heart under a scanner ) then got the result that my heart was acutally ok. So the specialist then did me a letter saying this and sent it to the panel doctors who then sent it to oz and a week later we were given our visas with a A clerance. So even though we have got in it could have been so different. You just never know, lots of people get in with know problem and i hope your one of them . Good luck Darren :beer:

Dear Hooperhome
Ugliness is down to the individual, if your case officer thinks you are ugly you will not get your visa. This is DIMIA's policy (have a look on their website). Apparently a few years ago they let any old moose into OZ, this then started a breading epidemic that created legions of ugly families. Take a look around when you go over and you will see. They tend to keep them away from the general population often making them live in the outback at places like Kalgoorlie.
Why don't you attach a picture of yourself to this post and we can vote on your ugliness?
:D :D :D :D

There's too many things that can go wrong!!!
Don't worry at this stage. If you get the visa...then start to panic about leaving the familiar shores of home and starting a new life downunder....getting a job....finding a home ...the homesickness....missing friends and family....having to cope with Aussie drivers...poor wages...stamp duty on everything...speed cameras
Only joking............ :D

Re: What could go wrong ???
 

EVERYTHING...............unexpected life events :eek:

Good luck anyway :D

These people are mean :D

But in reality you are in limbo. We've all gone through it, As far as you are aware everything is fine, but you have to await the DIMIA.

Its a painful time, but as they say on the website, don't do anything irreversible until you get the visa.

It does sound like you're ok, but..... wait, and wait and wait :o

It IS worth it in the end,

Cheers,

We have put the business for up sale and the house goes on the market 1st of May. We have decided to change our lives whether we get this visa or not.

A good way to change your life is to get a face lift, still waiting for your picture to be posted on here. If you post it as a poll we can all have an input

Waiting patiently..........
