As it is a year today since our application arrived on DIMA's doorstep, I thought it would be fitting to start a sweepstake to see who can guess when they reckon our visa is going to come.

Herrchook has guessed 17th March

Biggy has guessed 19th March (Biggys 20th wedding anniversary )

Margaret reckons 30th March

SunshineGirl 4th March

Anyone else care to take a guess?

ok i'll go with monday april 16 2007

Tuesday 10th April is my guess.

That seems donkeys years away.

My Dad is phoning me up alot and telling me about various poisonous creatures in Oz and I think 'god, what am I doing to him?'

This waiting is frying my head.

I only picked that because its my bday! I really hope it comes before then as I am hols for 2 weeks from 4th April and will miss all the excitement if it does come then.

april the 1st for me please,,

Im going to plump for March 9th which will be my 16th Wedding anniversary.

March 12. That would give you a grant date of 12/3.

Unless our CO extends our visa entry date by 3 months, our meds expire on 20th April(ish).

Sometimes they do give extensions, Ive read a few people in similar circs getting them.

26th Feb

If this happens do you have to start all over again?

My guess is 1st March

I think the CO can grant a 3 month extension, all that will mean is, instead of having to be in Oz on 20th april (looking impossible), they just stick 3 months on the deadline - if you are lucky.

1st March sounds good Sam.

Ok i'll go with 6th march
