Clarkey - I actually agree with Mrs PHH also booking your flights at the last minute in March hopefully the prices will b e cheaper cos you are then at the back end of summer early autumn. Prices are just going up now, we have noticed a difference from looking at flights for Sept to looking at flights end of Oct. Also the holiday lets just shoot up couldn't believe how much, one we looked at went up by $500 per week from the start of Nov nearly fell off my chair

Glad to see every one is okay - haven't been on for a while. Had a major wobble about wanting to go or not when we got our case officer last week. Must have been the wrong time of the month as like all of us I have been obsessing over it for months - checking every day etc etc then go and get all teary and scared!!!!

Anyway completed Form 80 x 3 and a Form 47a for son who is now 18 and uploaded them last night. Just waiting to see if Queensland Health will give me a letter confirming job offer (asked a few weeks ago and they said couldn't do it until visa had been granted aaaaarrrrggghhh).

House sale still on - couple having their survey done tomorrow. Looks like we may be heading out to Gold Coast in January 2009 - I keep thinking of ways to delay it (not sure why!!!) but for all practical reasons it makes sense. Buyers want to be in by end of November and of course with school starting in January it makes sence for the boys.

Where are you headed again? I might just have to look you up once we arrive!

Did anyone notice (or care to note) that the "official" timeline has moved?

I have a new theory as to how Visas are processed. I think the end of the month gets processed first - it's the accounting practice of LIFO - Last In First Out. So the have them separated by month - but the end of the month get COs first.

If you look over on the April thread, you'll see that 2 people who applied the 27th received Visas yesterday. Now a CO for someone who applied on the 28th.

I've noticed this trend in processing other months too. Hmmm.....

I can't remember who wrote it now but there was another theory about surname initials and I would be last in that one too so it's not looking good for me all round LOL

I'm at the front of April - I just think there might be more lodged then - just a guess, of course.
