Going out of our minds!!
 
Hi,

We have just got back from NZ (hence why I am awake at 4am grr jet lag!). We had a great 3 weeks meeting recruitment agenices, employers etc and seeing some of the country:D.
Most said they would be able to help us as soon as we had our visa's and would keep us in mind if anything crops up in the meantime. I was soooo looking forward to going into work this week and telling them I was off to NZ but hubby say's I have to wait now!

All we can do now is keep checking the processing time at NZ house looks like a wait of 7 weeks to get a C/O - Driving us mad anyone else out there who keeps checking or am I the only one!!!!;)

Hi

Yes, me too.

We were only selected on Wednesday 11th March, but I check our status at least once a day!

I am getting all of the documents together but don't feel I can book medicals or arrange the police checks until the status changes to "successful".

I just want to feel like I'm doing something!!!!!!!!!

Good luck with getting your ITA it shouldn't take too long ours took about 2 weeks. Then things will start moving again for you but then there is the long wait following submittting the ITA! Its a waiting game!!!

We are the opposite way round to you all - we have had our Police Checks/Medicals etc., and have found out that it could take up to 2 years for a Case Officer to be allocated - Parent Visa!!!! :curse:

Hi jo-chris
we are in the same boat as you, we submitted ITA on 12th feb 2009, lodged 16th feb, with job offer. Got acknowledgement letter 2 days ago, still in limbo, notice given in at work!!!!, no case officer as yet help, they havent asked for any more information re. ITA. addicted to checking the phone for messages, addicted to checking status on line. Going crazy!!!

Wow!! sounds like they're really busy!! ours took 2 months to be assigned a Co, that was in august. I guess they have more applicants in the new year!! its a pretty long process and an anxious one too!!
good luck:thumbsup:
