Would you please PM your ID..... I'd like to get in touch with ya through regular email.......
I'll be moving in the same place in a month of two (since my VISA is granted) so it's better to know someone already there.
Thanks!

Hello Dear Dance
CONGRATULATIONS on your visa grant. Well done and thanks for your high spirit during this process. I am sorry I am so late in congratulating you. I have been abroad and did not check my e-mails.
We are nearly there too. So only praying to god it comes any day.
Hope to see you in Adelaide.
All the best

I wish and pray that all your dreams be true and soon you'll post GOT IT thread I'll look forward to it.
Sure, we'll definitely meet in Adelaide. It'll be lots of fun.
Cheers!

Hello everyone!!
Today I receive the first e-mail from my CO. Last Monday I called to DIAC and asked about my process. The guy was very objective and said that we already hava a CO... five minutes later the status on on-line page changed to "application being processed further".
Well, I need to send more information and now I'm a little more relieved... Thanks to all guys that put a lot of information and tips here!! BR!!

Thanks.
I know we will have to put things on hold for a while till the baby is born as we can't do the meds until then but after waiting for so long it would be so nice for a CO to look over the application and say everything is ok.

But ... If my assumptions are correct, and by your signature, you need to create a stink. You have been waiting for a year, and only now are the approving State Sponsorship???? You need to call the DIAC and light a cracker up their proverbial!!

Re: 475ers - anyone got your visa?
Hi, I've been following this great thread for a while and thought to join in as it "apears" that I'm getting close. It's been great to read all the inspirational messages.
I have submitted all additonal documents (most of which were originally sent with my online application in Jan 08 - but which have since disappeared into the ether) requested by my CO and received an email reply from her that they are now just waiting for Health to be cleared.
Question, once you get this far in the process, and barring any health issues, does anyone know how common it is for the visa application to to be rejected? Just asking, as thankfully most of the personal stories on this thread have a wonderful ending and the visa's are eventually granted.

Re: 475ers - anyone got your visa?
Hi all !
I've just been granted my 457 visa
Application was lodged 16/01/09, medicals done 02/02/09, my daughters was referred to the Australian Government 13/02/09 (due to her having epilepsy, aspergers and a hip screw in place for a brittle bone disorder), hers was finalised 16/02/09 and the visa was granted yesterday............
Hadn't planned on getting this far and now don't know what to do next ???? hahaha. I've got John Mason rep coming Monday for a shipping quote and i'm searching flights at the mo.
Will have to keep trawling through expats for more info - you've all been fantastic so far, thanks !
