I really can't believe that it will be 13 months on Friday, and its Friday 13th as well this week. Ummmm trying to be not too superstitious.
I start off on a Monday filled with hope and expectations, by Monday lunchtime i've gone off the boil and realise that another day is passing and still no news. The emotions are all over the place, between us, one of us is always trying to keep things in percpective, and trying to keep the 'What will be will be attitude', but its sooooo unfair.
Come on dimia, get the huge pile of pre july applications, get your 'Visa Passed' stamp out and stamp the lot of them, i think we deserve it after the wait we've had, don't you?

June applicants received meds:
http://www.austimeline.com/austime/a...pp.jsp?id=1660 - 28 June
http://www.austimeline.com/austime/a...pp.jsp?id=1814 - 24 June
http://www.austimeline.com/austime/a...pp.jsp?id=1962 - 1 June
What do all of them have in common? The same region, I guess. It seems DIMIA is running out of pre-july applications in (which? 2-nd region?)... unfortualtely 3-rd region still has a lots of them... Keep waiting

And yes, I too can see the doubts in some people face. But far worse is that I start doubting myself that I'll ever go back

Certainly I don't plan to leave before October and I'm working for an agency who tricks on me re pay. So I'm just hanging in there trying not to think about all the money I lose every week. So I don't want to wait until I get the visa, but quit as soon as I can be sure that Dimia won't contact my agency anymore...

i'm totally fed up too so i did something positive today and booked our medicals unrequested. i read on another thread that the doc in manchester is always booked up about a month in advance, so the way i see it is by the time we get to the date of the meds then hopefully!!!!! we should have had the request or it shouldn't be too far behind. anyway i feel better having booked them (for june 7th) and also sending off police checks too. i dont want to wait any longer than i have to...i also hate my job and can't wait to finish x loidy

Re: Any April, May, June 2004 Skilled Independents out there?
Anyone spoken to, or emailed Adelaide lately? What have they said about us pre July 2004 apps? I must confess I'm too scared to email them in case I pi** them off! Can't believe I feel like this when I'm the client who has parted with loads of money, and they are the ones supposedly delivering the service! It's not like we can all club together and mass email them to put pressure on them since there shouldn't really be that many of us now. I can't stand this game any more! It is so unfair! Don't they realise the power they hold over our lives, and the misery they are causing? At least if they reject my app. I could get on with life. PLEASE HURRY UP!
NEW MEDICAL CONDITION:
Name - Visa waitingitis (Australis)
Symptoms -
Obsessive viewing of Expats forum, answer phone and emails etc, Adrenaline rush on flashing answer phone, email alert etc Grumpy mood swings, impatience and general annoyance if anyone asks about the visa! Disapointment etc.
Groups who applied for visa pre-July 2004 are most at risk.
