Re: paperbased applications thread
Hi All
Also paper based and yes we do deserve our own thread. Was tempted myself but am just so frustrated I'm finding it hard to imagine it might ever happen.
Timeline:
Vetassess approval Sept 07
Paper based 475, family sponsored ack 7.12.07 (sent on 19.11 and money taken 6.12). Family member couldn't do on line, hence we went paper based
Sent a high score IELTS in Feb for no other reason than it annoyed me not be able to tick proficient for Eng language skills so did the test to prove it!
Waited a bit for meds and PCs. PCs came through on 10.4 and had meds on 11.4, now passed from LCU to Adelaide.
I have one of the emails which said the dates moved to 20 Oct so had a wonderful 24 hours on a high only to find they republished the dates and it moved back from 20 Sept to 19th.
Feel really sorry for people whose meds etc are coming up to their time limit.
Have 4 kids and one will turn 16 this year so will have to get a pc for her as well. OH turns 45 this Summer so if this doesn't work we have no other options!
Stopped looking at schools/houses etc as it seems a little pointless at the moment and am seriously not chuffed about another Winter here!
Sorry for rant - it builds up doesn't it and you can't talk to people who don't really understand!

Wait for the housing market to see whats happening and then buy or my OH wants to build a place, Well he is a bricklayer !! hopefully it wont cost as much. Not going to book a thing till have visa's .

Re: paperbased applications thread
Hi everyone - just wanted to join this thread as often feel left out of threads that talk about how application is progressing - we just have to wait!
Applied in November - just been waiting since then. Starting to get me down, can't imagine how you feel if you applied in July!
Now the housing market has gone t*ts up it feels like we'll never get there.
Sometimes hard to keep chin up don't you find?
Sorry, this post sounds very down beat - not like me usually but been a tough week. Someone came for a second look round the house but decided not to buy it....probably be weeks before another viewing.
Never mind - at least it's Friday!

Re: paperbased applications thread
Lets hope there is some movement this week guys!!!!
Our app will be in 8 months on Tuesday.
I applied for a job based on my pending visa they asked me to complete a form authorising them to look at the status of my application. Its for a government body so they might actually be able to tell me something
