We're posting soon (defacto spouse visa) and hoping to head home for Christmas (Woo hoo! Summer here I come!). I'm only here on a two year working holiday visa so I'm not as experienced as you! But good luck, I know you'll love to be back!

Right girls, I'm heading off for a siesta before I start work tonight. Had a rather late night playing in the snow outside!

Cheerio - nice meeting you.




Men and their football!!! hehe. Did you not see the media room!!!!!!!!! I can't remember when it was on but I'm sure I saw it on one of the houses some family were being shown. I totally know what you mean about the whole house too close together thing. The people probably have an idea in their mind about Australia about 'wide open spaces' and are probably shocked when reality hits. Kristy - i have to go (its my daughter - she's whinging at me boredom or something - I won't have to worry about that when I let her out into the big backyard in Aus I hope we have and she can pet the frilly lizards!!:rofl::eek:), i am so sorry but hopefully catch up later. xx:)

I was just asking my man about media rooms (I've never heard of one). He was working as a builder on the Goldie before we left and he said they sometimes get them in the really really try-hard-rich houses like the ones they're building at Sanctuary Cove. Personally I wish I was rich enough to own one but I can't see that happening!

Hello all :)

Just a newbie to this site and still learning my way around... so please forgive me if I'm a tad lost ! :o Applying for PSV imminently and starting to feel the last minute organising my paperwork pressure! I may need to pick some brains at some point but also might just need somewhere I can let off steam amongst people who understand what we're going through! Fiance is the australian one and he is back in Australia whilst I'm stuck in sunny London :D

I sent an email this week to Australia House to see if my application was received and got this reply on Saturday:

Your medical results were received on 17th Decembner 2007.

Your visa application charge was deducted 21st January 2008.

Your application will be allocated to a case officer, who will assess the application within 10 working days from the date of receipt of the visa application charge. Your case officer will contact you using the contact details you indicated on your form 47SP. If you included an email address then this will be the method of contact used.

Fingers cross I'll hear something this week :unsure:

You must definitely hear something this week if they said 10 days from 21st Jan. I'm waiting to hear something from immi too ... sent off for PMV first stage a week ago. I know, I'm over reacting! But I atleast want a case officer so I have someone to complain to!!! Hopefully it won't be long. Will keep my fingers crossed for you .... and me!
