So we have to lodge 175 now as an insurance policy.
Between a rock and hard place I think its called. Probably find RSMS will go through and agent just scaremongering and we've spent all that extra on an insurance policy we won't need but we can't take the chance of not doing it...

Re: Anyone got RSMS Visa
Oh if only - we still haven't bloody lodged anything.
Agent and company have been playing silly silly buggers all this time. Agent not telling us the facts and company being hopelessly slow. The agent only admitted the problem to us friday! The company only finished providing docs Friday. Agent to recieve everything tomorrow and then beg RCB to do it quick so can lodge before end of month!!!!

Re: Anyone got RSMS Visa
No hes not CSL or Modl. So we are expecting about 12 months to get a CO, or at least thats what the agent is saying.
At least if your RSMS 2 years are up - or almost up - it'll say the cost of an offshore trip to get granted
