Re: AUGUST 2007 Applicants

Hi Vinenroses,
Welcome to the August Club
I'm afraid it seems to be pot luck around here. Some got their visas in March onwards - and others are still waiting for a case officer 
. We weren't on the MODL list but still got our visa in April. Someone on this forum said that DIAC were promising (again
) to have the August 2007 applicants sorted by the end of November. Let's hope this is finally true 
Best of luck

I can feel the pain on what you are going through now. You can get a fair idea from this link and you can also include your name here.

I believe yours is a paper based application and FYI many people are still waiting for the visa. I am not in MODL and got my VISA in the 1st week of October and what I did was that I have submitted my PCC, IELTS and Medicals before the CO was alloted. I got my direct VISA without any hiccups. Hope this will make you feel better and start thinking on the next step you need to take.
Best of Luck

Re: AUGUST 2007 Applicants
Well friends we have finally made it to the other side of the world!! We are just loving every minute of it so far!!! Saying our goodbyes to our friends and families was one of the hardest things we have ever had to do!!! tears were flooding!!
Well we are, at the moment, in a B+B in Rockingham WA. Rockingham is just out of this world!! We have decided that this is definately where we would like to settle!!
We got a lovely new car today, and have viewed 3 rental properties so far! We still have another 6 to view!! Hoping to buy something soon as the house prices here have gone right down!! but will probably rent for 6 months first.
Hubby has a job interview tommorrow!! Im going furniture shopping!! % year old son is just absolutely loving the beach life!!
All good so far.xx. love Debbiexx

Re: AUGUST 2007 Applicants
Jeepers 13 weeks for your stuff to arrive - sincerely hope mine doesn't take that long - don't know if I could last without it !!!!!
How come so long ? Weather ? We have been quoted between 6 & 8 and told that it's usually six, but sometimes eight if the weather is bad.
Tiger - I got up at 4.15am on Saturday and went through my paper work - took me nearly five hours - but at least it's all done !!!!!
We did some more packing yesterday - and so far have put eight boxes of stuff into Mum's house (in order to make ours look less cluttered for potential renters).
One conversation we DID have was would we miss what we've packed up so far, or would we be quite happy without it it !!! Am sure that it'll be the latter and when we open the boxes again in February we'll wonder why on earth we shipped them !!

Re: AUGUST 2007 Applicants
Grats on the job Debbie's OH and good luck with house hunting. Wish we could afford one here- BTW you need to change your location, as you appear to be in Scotland!
Finally unpacked the last box-4 days- now have to find places for things and dispose of some of the paper- keeping some for when we move our of this rental next march.

Shall we start a fresh waiting list
Hi all,
Feeling as if i am one of a handful who still have not received the VISA. Earlier there were threads for and users for pre-September 2007 applicants, like July 2007 etc. But lately i have not seen those threads coming up. Similarly in our August thread there were a lot of users who had not received VISAs. Guys where are you all??? It makes me feel that im one of the handful of people who are left out.
So I would like to start a fresh waiting List. Please join in
