I'm just sitting patiently waiting. had a glass of wine with dinner, going to open another bottle now and going to look to see if any good films on tonight - tv is sh*te on a saturday night

I think its just luck depending on whichever pile or in-tray your file is sitting in.

They must surely have had complaints about the unfairness of it all

My youngest is 9 and seeing mom have a glass of wine is the norm in this house, dad doesn't indulge which is quite useful

OMG I sound like I am dependant seriously I am not and I have actually been to a birthday party this afternoon (yep, it was a dolls party but me and dad were up doing musical statues and pass the parcel even tho the football results were on and had to be interrupted while Amarillo played!)

Having your sis there is fab, I'm hoping my sis-in-law will eventually join us. I'm assuming you have been to Melbourne then if your sister is there?

I have never visited County Clare, My brother often visits Dingle to surf but most of my family are in Dublin with my closest family being in the midlands.(Co. Meath)

BTW, the automatic reply I got stated that all applicants pre-September 1st will have their full ack by the 30th April I believe they sent something similar for December 30th, then Feb 15th...!!!:curse:

Posted By Fly Away sorry I don't know how to link you to it! but if you go on a search and put that in you should find it! Alan Collett from Go Matilda and George Lombard from another agency have both said there is no truth in it! so we can relax! I think it is just for some visa types like parent visas they may cap them if they get there quota and then start going again in july! I think we are ok, although there has been so little movement recently you do wonder what is going on? I hope this is a good week for us all!
