News on economy was a bit more encouraging today (at least it was on my telly)!!! My beagle doesn't smoke but has been known to take drugs!! He's not the one that bit me and now lives in the shed - that was my 16 yr old westy and i've told him we are going to Korea (not oz). WESTY AND CHIPS is a favourite over there!! that'll teach him - stupid dog!! Ha Ha, he'll be in oven not shed! (luv him really)

What a fantastic 40th pressie, lets face it, you need something when you're 40 to cheer you up LOL. Don't worry, passed that milestone a a while ago, it's not all downhill either

If you are claiming points for specific work experience, You have to prove that you have worked in your nominated occupation (what you passed your skills assesment as) for at least three years before you lodge your visa. some people have done those three years with just one employer, others have done those three years with more than one employer so your CO will want to see proof going back three years to prove you have spent that time in your trade. I guess those of you who have been asked for wageslips going back that far have spent that time with more than one employer so you have been asked for P60's etc for each year, so they can award you the 10 Points.
If you have spent those three years with one employer, then you may find that your work reference supplied with your start date is enough, We sent the very first payslip from 2004, then one for each year since, and a current one along with P60, contract of employment, reference and job description in with our application and we havent been asked for any further proof of employment. Have you already sent payslips going back that far and been asked for even more then?

I dreaded turning 40, but it was that that made me want more out of life - hence the long long wait for oz. Mum & brother think i'm having a mid life crisis - if moving to sun sea and a laid back lifestyle is crisis - then bring it on, we shoild all have a crisis

But I thought we would be asked for doing this? We're in no hurry. Need to be ready by Oct-Nov the earliest.

[QUOTE=melliepoo;6213257]Now please tell me someone else has also done this, but been too ashamed to admit it!

Augustees on the BE timeline - those that were acknowledged during January are now at these stages-

43% have their visas

25% are with a CO

and

31% still have no CO or visa (me included - ack 11.01)

(Any teachers amongst you might have noted l have lost 1% in the calculation - l blame my daughters rather basic calculator!)

Please reassure me l am not the only one going mental...turning to drink...getting ratty and laughing hysterically at absolutely nothing...addicted to BE, PIO, BE timeline...welded to my laptop...compulsively checking emails...waking up my first thought is VISA...

Hopefully by the end of the month that 31% will be 0%

Good Luck Guys - you know who you are!

Hmmm, any teachers amongst us MAY have noticed the lost 1% BUT the wine drinkers amongst us won't have, not even the wine drinkers that work in finance I might add

Hi aglassofwinehelps.

Thanks for the advice. I did an email to them today. Put every bit of detail on except when meds were sent and when they arrived! DONUT.

2 weeks ago Agent said she would diary when she was going to contact them. Those two weeks are up tomorrow, so hopefully will hear something. Not holding my breath though.

However, it is fantastic to see so many people finally getting their Visas and Co's. It really gives me hope I just hope that the few remaining get their acknowledgments very soon.

Absolutely good news, hubby is a wreck medically speaking but we need him for Visa purposes

Pcc's sent oooh, a month ago?

Dearie me, I've not got to the end of the thread yet, I have to answer individually as I have hit the old vino, hope I don't get to the end and find 50 posts from me in succession?????

aglassofwinehelps

But coconut macaroon, is that a drink? me thinks thats a biscuit, bad girl, drink first, food later!

aglassofwinehelps

You will be asked for this info however frontloading it will speed things up. If you don't need the visa until Oct/Nov then there is no rush.

aglassofwinehelps

DONUT indeed

Saying that, I did say in my email when meds signed for but as long as you gave FRN, ICSE request ID and passport numbers then you should hopefully get a reply.

I have an agent and thought 'leave for them to deal' but was encouraged by peeps on here to email. Send another email tonight with further details, you may just hear before your agent. x

Yep, it's a biccie, i've just eaten whole pack of six at 197 cals each, but don't stress as they were wheat and gluten free - that must mean they are healthy right? And the wine is made from grapes, so surely thats a portion of fruit?

Off to watch supernatural to eye up the male actors and hide behind cushions! GOOD LUCK FOR TOMORROW EVERYONE, 2 FULL ACKS COMING OUR WAY.

I'm like that with Jammie dodgers, the whole packet gone before you can blink. I take the packet up to bed along with my book and suddenly they're gone???? I think the bedroom fairy eats them

Goodnight everyone, DizzyDame, you'll lock up won't you?
