Default Why would they say no ?

Been mulling this one over, so I thought I'd ask the question.

We passed the points test , skills assessment, have our sponsor, assurer and have proved that we are related to peeps in Perth etc etc etc as part of application (lodged July 03), have dosh to take , speako English and fulfil all the other criteria.
Apart from failing the Medicals (crim. records are clear !) what other reasons could the DIMIA refuse to let us in ?
I don't mean that sarcastically by the way. As I read it back I thought it might sound arragant (expression is so hard to do on here). I just mean do we believe it to be that we are in apart from the Meds ? or is there any other reason they would refuse us entry?

I've managed to control the nervous twitch, the uncontrolable urge to strangle staff and I even have the bunny boiling under control - I'm down to one a month - love rabbit stew with a port juis. I've even stopped firing missiles at workmen on road works drinking coffee and having a fag break before they even start work !!

They'd be daft not to let you in, so I think you'll be OK.

hiya jill
cant see them not letting you in unless you're 'crook' (as in ill!)
Does anyone know if they have a quota they have to fill? do they go over it? I often wonder about this because of the pool mark - I wonder how many visas they dish out to people who only meet the pool mark?? I wonder what sort of hell those applicants go through waiting for the yellow envelope - I vaguely remember something about being on the list for 2 years before getting a decision if you only meet the pool mark!

Jill, sounds like you are having one of those moments - trying to find reasons why you would not get the visa. I remember before we got ours I used to create all kinds of scenarios

You should be ok if you have got all the points and meds etc.

Stop worrying and go and have a bar of fruit and nut

Both Warren and I said "Oh no Bannister has replied - this should be good" - never fail to amuse.
I've told you, I've moved on, don't think just 'cos you are 5 star you can have the ultimate accessory - A Stalker :scared:

Miss your lively debates - can't someone rattle your cage ?

Yeah, sounds just like a British Standard Visa Panic to me. I know 'cos I had about 3 a day before we got ours.

Best way to deal with it: a large gin. Or a large gin & ciggie even better Or both of those & post your fears etc onto this site

Good luck & dont worry - the meds will be fine, & your paperwork is simply lurking somewhere in the system along with 1,000,000,000s of others, and one day, Cinders, YOU, TOO, will go to the ball....

Actually, how about a variation on the well known expression 'A Senior Moment' - ours is 'A Visa Moment'. As in 'I'm having a Visa Moment'.

Geeezzzz.....
