We had a CO for about 1 hour before getting the visa grant
Here lies the benefit of front loading

Hi Hexy

For what it's worth, a Serbian guy serviced my car yesterday, and a Serbian girl sold my wife some shoes in Myers last month. So there are Serbians over here in WA already, so it must be possible to get in!

Cheers

Hi All
I asked my agent that they should contact the visa people and ask where I was on the"waiting list" they did and guess what.......? I immediately was given a CO!

Yippeeeeee
The wheels are in motion.

How long do they take before they ask for extra info and what extra info do they ask for also what is the timescale until visatown?

I'd be grateful for any help in this matter, many thanks

If you've frontloaded meds and police checks (and your signature says you have) then it ought to happen pretty fast.

Just to give all those who already have visas something else to look forward to... Shipping Container Day (when all your stuff is delivered) is almost as good as visa day

Especially if you didn't think you were getting anything until after Xmas and it all turns up early

Cheers
