Congratulations and good luck for your new life in Oz.

Thank you all, just don't know what to do first, scream, drink, sing

the other piece of good news is the house is under offer !!!!

HOUSE OFFER is probably the more difficult of the 2 to obtain these days....

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Congrats and good luck

Congratulation for you Visa and house! Good lucky all of us!!

hello eveyone

Not looked at this for a few days and not posted but we had some excellent news Thursday 18th September, we got the visa grant only just over the 9 months by 3 days!! Just some advice to everyone who hasn't done it, make sure you send full birth certifictes and not the short versions I did. They only cost about £7 from your registrar office in town of birth.

This was the only additional info request we had and they were easy to get hold of.

But anyway, its done now and can't believe we're actually going, just got to book flights, accommo, schools, college, work etcetc

Thanks all for advice and support and keep it up because we all need it and we're al in the same boat.

Thanks again...

Congratulation brother are you applied in 475 or 175 and paper base or e visa kindly share ur timeline.

Congratulations, very jealous still waiting from October 07. Have sent in a query via the complaint mail to see if anything happens. Just fed up without a concrete time line. Wishing you the best of luck

At the risk of upsetting folk, have you read the 'Current processing times' thread? Apparently, they are processing May + applicants in priority to pre-May. What the hell is going on?

Yep read that earlier today - whilst waiting for the viewers for the house (additional groan). Put my complaint in last Tues and had auto ack with a "standard" of a 10 day response. Will let you know!

You are such a lovely person Alex, being so pleased for everyone while you are having such a long wait

It's your turn this week. I can feel it in my waters

175 modl and online, thanks everyone and I really have no idea whats happening with DIAC's processing system. Oops sorry there isn't one!

It seems to be all over the place and I just wondered if the response to online applications last year after launch was unprecedented and somehow all online apps and paperbased apps ended up mixed up for sometime.

Then, at some point the beginning of this year new apps are being processed correctly and ok but 3rd quarter '07 are still being by a 'special' team.

Don't really know of course but just supposing

Good luck everyone Many thanks!!

Dear have u submitted ant complaint form to DIAC for ur application Processing

Come on guys....lets have lots more visas this week There are case officers free now after granting our visa

Its now Sunday and nearly time for DIAC to start work. I have my fingers crossed for all of you
