Re: AUGUST 2007 Applicants
Great to see another two grants today - and you were worrying yesterday Jonah & Louise !!!! Worrying (for this phase) is now officially over for you guys.
Painter man - we're planning to bring both of ours (however we have had to make the decision to leave our horses and cat behind). I'm getting a bit worried about one of them as she's blind and while she copes well at home I'm anxious about her being in quarantine. So far my vet is saying that she'll be okay - I guess we'll just have to wait and see if she deterioriates further between now and when (if ??) we get our visa. I don't know if I could cope with putting her down (am up the walls over the cat - ALREADY) - but I need to be realistic about this.

I hope all goes well for you it's such a hard decision to make knowing whether or not to take the beasts.Oh i did'nt mention we will be leaving the 5 hamsters and 3 chinchillas and feel guilty about leaving these but to take all the managery, we would need a second mortgage.
Like you said you have to be realistic about these things, at heart i'm just a big softy when it comes to animals.

Re: AUGUST 2007 Applicants
Hey you're as bad as me Painter Man - I didn't mention the goldfish and three guinea pigs - and then theres the pony, connemara yearlings (2) and two horses !!
Chinchillas are lovely - a friend of mine has two of them !
Haven't seen sight nor sign of dinner-dash - hope everything went okay.
I don't think my agent has sent my stuff over to my case officer - sent her an email today that is really out of character for me (rather snitty) and am now wracked with guilt about it !! However, I've spent the last couple of weeks thinking that everything was in motion and it was down to the co - now I don't think it is !! And she wanted everything by the 11th of this month. Am REALLY stressed by the whole thing today.

Just look at the person who received their Visa on July 4 - but didn't know it until July 7th! I would be really angry about that - stressing over an entire weekend!!
We had an agent for the ACS certification part and there were plenty of times they didn't know or didn't understand or were unavailable! That's why we went alone for the Visa itself. No middleman!
BTW 457 is an employer sponsored Visa!

[QUOTE=shabee;6552824][QUOTE=tayles;6549812]How did it go today? When are you heading off?
Went really well, infact they did it all in one day rather than two days. The lads were supperb, 3 of them. Feels strange now though. Was there cleaning the empty house this morning and my emotions were all over the place.
What the hell will I do with myself now Lol,
We hope to be heading over to Oz early Sept. All going to plan.

Unless the company does the packing for you then you wouldn't be able to claim for breakages or damage from the insurance.
