Re: Sept 07 - March 08 applicants check in thread
so will be interesting to see if our meds and your husbands are done around the same day.
Its just the uncertainty of it all, we've waited 6 months from applying so a few weeks shouldnt make that much of a difference but it really really does.
We're getting married on the 17th Oct and we really want the visa by then so we can tell all our family. I'm not holding my breath though....

I was bracing myself for a 2/3 week wait. Our doctor said MEDs should arrive about 3 days after being sent which would take us to the same day your hubby's was received, ours werent sent by courier (wasnt given the option! )

I'm not sure if I'm going to tell them about me getting married because the visa will be in my maiden name and I didn't want the hassle of changing the visa and my passport! Going to wait till I get to Oz before I do that!

I don't know who our CO is, We've gone through an agent, would I be able to use the contact dept link on the status page do you think?

I would ask your agent to notify your CO that the MEDS are there and would they be kind enough to chase it up as you are getting married, etc.

What a bummer Mary, bet you weren't happy So is this Lepto something she catches from the envirnment???? Fingers crossed for next wednesday
It's passed through Rats wee, so the virus can be picked up from anywhere rats go:curse: I feel better today, as long as she's less than 1:800 she'll be ok to fly.
I think we should have a little countdown going for the people who've booked their flights

20 days for us!
Bit of a bummer though had a call yesterday from Letting agent who enquired id they could show someone around today I thought we had a tenant from last week and we were waiting for credit checks oh no they never came back Anyway panic over for a couple of days, the people who wanted to come today actually came yesterday and want it BUT they have to go and pay their holding fee on Fri/Sat so fingers crossed they turn up, and it just so happens to be a family in the next road over and their little boy goes to preschool with my daugther
keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Hope everyone else is having a good week
Enjoy yourself in Sydney Nige[/QUOTE]
In singapore airport right now. Wow, its simply gorgeous. There was a 3 and half hour delay on my flight to here but I'm surprisingly wide awake. Going to have another look around. Speak to you all sometime tomorrow.
Mary, your dog clearly doesnt want to go and is faking the lepto. He's allowed a few wobbles as much as you I suppose.

Nearly there now Nige, don't forget to update us when you finally get there.
Thanks Tiger - she's not got the disease, she's just got antibodies in her system from the vacination against the disease she received last November.

It needs to be less than 1:800 I've been reading about other people who've also had positive results this week for lepto - makes me wonder whether the lab is the problem
Oh yeah..................WE EXCHANGED TODAY!!!!!! (feel really guilty saying that Nic, but i'm keeping my fingers crossed you exchange soon)

Don't feel guilty hun - you went through hell getting a buyer too. I rang ours today and left a message saying we wanted to exchange now as they already have a mortgage offer. So keep your fingers crossed they do.

Have my fingers crossed I get the visa before the wedding - it truly would be the best gift of all.

Been trying to post all morning....
Thanks for the good lucks for the exchange - no news yet... just phoned the buyer again and left another message...
Also booked a forward fix of 2.28 for our savings!! Wwooooo hhhooo!! Can't book any more as we haven't exchanged. (Banging head against a wall smiley!)
Good luck with the exchange and the visa Louise - we were in the same boat until 2 weeks ago and now have our visa, so I know how it feels.
BTW if you keep your maiden name it really annoys the inlaws too!
