Re: April 2008 Applicants
It appears there's a free CO 'cause we got our VISA today :thumbsup::thumbsup:
We will be heading to the Goldie in March, the day after our work notice period is over! fortunately we don't have a house to sell, just 3 dogs and 2 cats to organise shipping :blink:. I would have settled for a 7 month wait at the start of the process, although sometimes it feels like we have been waiting, checking, waiting, waiting, checking, waiting (you know the score!) for years.... Good luck to everyone still waiting :D It will be worth the wait. The way I see it, is those that wait the longest will have the best feeling when it does actually happen! Dave |

I hope that's the case for us too! We're looking at NOR, the company is providing us with loads of assistance in finding somewhere etc, but we stayed in Clarkson last time we visited and would be happy round there, Kinross, Tapping, etc don't mind really, but I guess we'll see what's available when we get there! Oh, the ocean highway, can't wait!!:eek: Mel:D Cheers b |

Cheers Ben, You'll probably have to remind me when we actually get there about Thursdays, I'll probably have forgotten!! We had a meal there this year on my birthday!! Yummy!!!
We liked Hillary's, my daughter loved the houses, think it might take me a bit too long to clean one so I think we'll stick to our plan of being a bit further up than that in a slightly smaller house, like 4 bedrooms instead of 7!!!!! We need to be there by April at the latest, aiming for Feb/March time, just need the house to sell :( Does, the wall stop the jellyfish??:rofl: Mel:D Hiya!! Will you have any spare room in your container?? and would you like to take some of our things over for us?? Just a small prob that your going to perth and we're aiming for the Central Coast!! :lol::rofl: Am looking into International Shipping...but i'm starting to think that getting the Visa was the easy part! :eek::ohmy: And we have the added head f**k of trying to sort out a DECENT Letting Agent... :sneaky: HERE WE GO AGAIN!! |

Had 2 viewings on the house last night, one booked for this morning, the one this morning cancelled about 2 minutes before they were due, one from last night made an offer on another house and the other people liked the house that the other woman has offered on! AAARRRGGGHHH!!! 6 weeks to sell or it's getting rented! Chin up, we're all in this together (is there a song in there somewhere??:lol:) It's bloomin freezing today too!!!:( Mel:D |
Re: April 2008 Applicants
Hi,
Long time reader, first time poster. Just checked my online status this morning and found applicant approved!! What a month it has been, we have just found out our first child is on they way, fingers crossed we will be exchanging contracts on the house next week and we now have a visa. The last seven months have been a rollacoaster journey but now we can see the end of the tunnel. For people starting out on this journey, keep faith, eventually it will be your visa grant day. Thank you to everyone on ex pats for taking the time to post, you really have been an invaluable source of information over the last 18 months. Hope to be in Brisbane, Wellington point area on the 21st April. :D I have added our details to beupdate if you want to see our timeline. |
