Anyone else thinking of ringing DIMIA soon, or is it just me LOL 
Might call at the end of this week just to see what they say. Looks as though people who have called in the past have had a pleasant chat to polite staff and quite often seems to give them a 'kick' into getting a CO/visa/whatever.
What does anyone think? Is it just me being inpatient LOL?

I think lots of people have done it and seems to be not a problem for DIMIA.
Still think I'm a bit inpatient LOL

Our initial gamaplan was to:
1) Send a nice email to ASPC when we hit month 4
2) Send another email (not so nice) when we hit month 4.5
3) Call when we hit month 5
4) Call again when we hit month 5 + 1 week
5) Call another time when again we hit month 5 + 2 weeks...
By then we figured that ASPC will get the hint and assign a CO... if not, repeat from Step 3...
Don't worry, since everything was frontloaded, looks like it's straight to the visa grant for you
Wouldn't be long now.
CHEERS!
p/s No harm calling end of the week if you feel like it.

Hi,
We are hoping to send our 136 visa off at the end of next week, just
waiting for copies of Accounts.
Get very excited, and very busy getting the house finished to sell

We are praying that we could be in Oz for xmas (not holding my breath
though )...

hi all
Car died last week was hoping to make it last till I went down under, but not to be..... so got a new car (well new for me) first far eastern car i have ever had and it runs like a dream so when I get to australia, will be getting a jap car with 'no worries'.
With some of the lucky few in the group getting visa's I have finally been able to get my police checks sorted so 40 days and counting from the 4th will book medicals in about 1 month from now
fingers crossed
Justin
