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!

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.

Oddly people that want to rent are immigrating to Canada next year !!. Seems everyone has got the bug.

where else! Followed by a boogy at the Palace and a pie floater, and if you're lucky a snog on the steps to the beach!

kissing and pie is a good combo!

ah.. can't wait!

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?
