Default Yes, we've finally done it....

... or rather, our agent has finally done it - lodged our 136 visa with DIMIA, that is. After having had our ICAA assessment approved on the 18th July, our agent has lodged our main application!!

Now the waiting game begins

How long has it taken for accountants (on the MODL) taken to get their visa's, does anyone know? (she asks hopefully...)

Yes, I have tried them, but the problem with that is that you are very reliant on people filling their timeline in. I don't think it is a very accurate case for really how long the process is taking.

But will keep praying it isn't too long.

Fingers crossed for you that it doesn't take too long. MODL applications are usually pretty quick aren't they? Better get the champagne on ice ready eh

I am hoping to get ours off this week, just waiting for ONE persone to sign ONE piece of paper, we are 138 though and I am not sure how long they are, and as you say timeline, not always that up to date!

We lodged in late Dec 04 and got med requests early March 05, just over 2 months.

We had a bit of fun and games with the medicals and finally sent them to Oz on 30 May. Got the visa 1 July, just a month later. Ours was very easy compared to some.

Good luck!

Hi Sarah

I got mine in just over 11 weeks front-loaded PCC's / meds sent unrequested. But it seems anything MODL is taking a lot longer at the moment. I can't believe that was April we got it, seems like we have been selling this house forever.
