and 176-ers!

I thought being 1st July I would have had a phone call from a case officer today. Most upset!

Wonder if there are any jobs going in DIAC?? I think I could process all the 175 and 176s in a couple of days!!

We appear to have been moved into "The Barbie" Why? Who knows?

And as for processing times - word on the grapevine is that RSMS visa's are taking 6 months rather than the usual 8 to 12 wks????? So annoying! :mad:

Hi,

My 457 went through too fast. To the extent of phone calls in the middle of the night chasing my documents.

All in all it took about 4 weeks to get my visa.

Now I'm running around like a madman packing, renting my gaff, selling my car etc.......

Lucky I guess, but does not feel like it at the mo.

bloody lazy aussie beaurocrats! get em told! ever wonder if it's easier to fly out, find a job and force some company to sponsor you?

question for everyone: when you go out on a date, do you mention anything at all about emigrating or just remember that you haven't got laid for a while and keep your mouth shut? is that wrong? :rofl:
