Fly Away

Welcome Helen - we all hope we will go straight to visa too. Although someone who applied on 30.11.07 got a CO today - so getting closer.

BE is a godsend and a lifeline. You'll be glad you found it!

We knew didn't we?

Well my viewer has been and gone, it was just the husband - no wife. She viewed the first time... He seemed to like it but was in and out quickly.. not sure...

EA chased the viewers yesterday who liked it - but their daughter had been in a car crash and so she thinks it will be a while before they think about moving again.

So I need all your thoughts concentrated on the people today - to make them put in a GOOD offer.

Baby75

Dont worry Nic sure dont you know at the end of the day its us who decide our lovely DH just come around to keep us happy sorry lads i mean that in a nice way so keeping every thing crossed that they come back with an offer for you

Hi, have you heard anything yet? Our emigration agent sent our skills assessment papers etc away in January. OH is a roofer. Emigration agent said it would take 12 weeks in total. I emailed them on Friday because we hadnt heard anything, only to be told there is a delay with everyone and we should hear in about 10 weeks! 22 weeks in total. Is this right?

Fly Away

Yay!! good news - now it's just the waiting business and you're finished!!!

Sounds about right. People who applied in October are just starting to get their vias. There is a huge backlog of paper applications from last August and most staff are working on those...

kurrikurri

Thank you. I hadnt realised it would take so long. Only hope things start to quicken up!

Fly Away

Things should improve as they get through all the Augusts. Then more COs will be free to deal with us!

kurrikurri

I hope so. We are so desperate to know one way or another. All we think about is Oz. We should have done it years ago, but we cannot turn back the clocks. We have had to get lots of references etc etc and my husband is working part time doing his roofing along with his factory job because we have our heart set on going out to Oz. Our house is at a standstill and we need to do work on it to put it on the market to sell.

Of course, Fingers crossed that we pass our medicals. Worried about that but hopefully they wont be too bad.

kurrikurri

Which part of Australia are you hoping to go to? What is your occupation?

Fly Away

We are the same - should have applied 3 years ago when we were under 40. Still as you say, can't turn the clock back. It has taken us 16 months to get this far - nightmare visa application.

You will get there in the end with the house. Although to be honest, the house selling bit has been the hardest for us.

We're off to Adelaide - husband is in IT. Where are you headed?

kurrikurri

New South Wales, 2 hours north of Sydney. Our best friends live there. We have been out on holiday twice in 2 years and love it. We have done a bit of touring around Oz, flew up to Mackay and toured 1800 miles. Been to Melbourne, but not Adelaide.

Do you have friends or family out there? Have you visited?
