Re: Will I ever get a visa
Oh Margaret, I know how you feel waiting, we had a 7 month 21 day wait for a CO, it was HELL!
However, since we got one things did pick up and we got our visa last friday, only 2 weeks after the police checks were sent, which were the last things to go.
So, I reckon if you have sent the extra stuff they asked for you should surely have your visa in a couple of weeks. You could always e-mail your co to ask if they had received the extra info, this is what we did, and had a reply 3 days later with the grant.
Chin up honey, it will come soon.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, my partner and I have been trying for about 18 months now - what with regional visa going t*ts up, a job offer from a company that then closed down (about 2 weeks before the visa went through), hassles with a migration agent (we complained to the MIRA), red tape from the ACS, and a couple of job interviews later, I finally have a job offer, and the visa should be sorted within a few months.
Don't give up hope if it's what you really want to do. As we tell ourselves, even if it doesn't work out, we've tried, and don't have that what if? feeling.

Re: Will I ever get a visa
Hi Margaret I know just where you are coming from hun, we are reaching the end of our tethers ,the patience AND the booze is rapidly running out 
and we are starting to get on each others t**s!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are sick of hearing the 'have you heard anything yet?' and 'have you got a date to go yet?'.
Our agent sent all our additional docs, PCC's etc at the beginning of May and the Meds were sent to LCU at end of April. Our AOS bond was paid on 7th April so surely there must be some sign soon
Hang on in there Margaret and we will go mad (or turn alcoholic
) together.

Re: Will I ever get a visa
I know exactly what you mean with the "have you heard anything yet" thing. The next time someone says that I will kill them. We have been waiting since the end of Jan with everything sent off and to our knowledge, no problems. I get the impression they hope that you'll get bored waiting and not bother. The pair of us are nervous wrecks. Life's in limbo isn't it?
Well I'll look out for some positives coming from this threads subscribers soon hopefully before I go completely round the twist. Oh and if anyone says "well, no news is good news is it?" then I'll kill those folks too!!!!

Re: Will I ever get a visa
You know Margaret, OH and I were talking about you just last night. I was saying that I've got this knot in my stomach because of all the people I remember from when I first started on here, I'm about the furthest behind with my application. I was saying that I knew your visa was probably only a couple of weeks away at most, and that whilst I'd be ecstatic for you all, I'll also be a bit sad as I'll still be sat here waiting.
So....I predict - June 29th for you. And August 19th for Samantha
C'mon Dimma - send Mags' and her lot packing so they can reccie Melbourne for me

Re: Will I ever get a visa
Hi all, thanx for your predictions, i know some of you are having a longer wait than me, and you have my sympathy, but we were by no means a complicated case (except we are both over 40), but both on the skilled immi list with 20 years experience in our trades, sorry am babbling alot of crap now
Gill, don't worry when we go we will make sure we rent a nice big 4 bedroom house, and you won't have any worries when you arrive with your two wee gorgeous girls plus a built in babysitter
and remember Gill, you have time on your side at this rate we'll be drawing our pension in oz
