Re: November, December, January & February Applicants still waiting
I have news!!!!
We got the visa!!!
After 8 long months I lodged a query via the online feedback form last Thursday. This morning we got an email reply saying they would look into it - just after an email saying we had the visa!!!!
475 to SA
Applied 10.1.08.
Meds/ PCCs 20.2.08
Granted 16.9.08
Validation 1.4.08
Thanks everyone for you help and support - I couldn't have done it without you. Special thanks to Wendy, Beth and Trish who helped me through a very difficult time with our EX agent. Also thanks to the agents who post on here who have given their advice for free and all my online friends who have kept me sane.

Congratulations Fly Away - now the adventure really begins!
I have been lurking on this thread for ages but haven't posted anything anywhere for a while because I've been so down in the dumps as we're still waiting for our visa
We're paperbased Nov applicants - will it ever come?????
But I feel a glimmer of hope may be in order now! Come on DIAC let this be a record visa issueing week.
good luck everyone!

Alex did you guys fill in a form yet? And also do you use the Nov/Dec/Jan/Feb still waiting thread? You poor things what a looong wait that's been

Re: November, December, January & February Applicants still waiting
Hi! yes we filled the form in as soon as we saw your news!!!! Haven't heard anything back from that yet though.
Also we asked our agent to phone and they just wouldn't give her any information about when our visa might be issued - it's like hitting a brick wall!
Have been feeling really down about our long, long wait but when I hear that others are getting their visa it is heartening. Also I keep telling myself that everyday that passes must be a day closer!!
And yes I've just joined the Nov, Dec, Jan etc waiting thread - that's what we're on now!!!!

I reckon no news could be good news - peeps who got the standard bullsh*t "we process in date order" response got it pretty much straight away...

Re: November, December, January & February Applicants still waiting
I reeeeeeally hope so!!!! Fingers, legs, toes and even eyes crossed!!!
Checking emails every half an hour or so - how sad is that!!! Everyone knows that a watched kettle never boils and an obsessed visa watcher never gets the visa!!!
I'd better go and do something useful - hang washing out etc.......right after I check my emails!

Re: November, December, January & February Applicants still waiting
Just catching up on this and some of the other threads, there seems to be alot more movement going on than there has been for ages - fantastic stuff! Will be keeping an eye on the website until at the very least I see Janebk and Wishwewerethere get their visas
So - I cried when I got the pre-grant letter, I cried when they gave my the label this morning and I even managed a lump in my throat when we flew back in over Sydney today. Maybe I am not the hardened old bag I thought I was after all
Got a good feeling about this week - visatastic!

Re: November, December, January & February Applicants still waiting
I no what you mean I'm also a Novemberee paper, I just came upstairs to put some washing away, somehow I managed to walk into the office to the PC and still am here 20 mins later. I wouldn't mind but the office is at the other end of the house to the washing that wants putting away. sigh. For some reason I've got quite a good feeling about our visa being imminent. You wait I'll probably be wishing I'd not said that when I'm still sat here in a month.
Also I tie myself up in knots by thinking that the visa will come when I'm not constantly thinking about it so I need to get busy and keep occupied!
Also another thing (can you tell I'm a worrier!!) all this focus on The Visa is putting the whole move out of perspective. I'm so desperate to get the visa that I'm not thinking about what it'll be like when we do actually go because in actual fact I'm pretty nervous about leaving everything behind and starting again in Oz. But THE WAIT FOR THE VISA is making me feel that "I just want to get there" which may or may not be a 'real' feeling. Does that make any sense???
Go on...you can say it.....get a life!!! I know, I know I'm a sad case.
Thank goodness for BE and being able to 'talk' to others in the same boat or I really would go mad (if I haven't already looking at what I've just written!)
