Hi Sean,

Just wanted to let you all know that we have agreed an offer on our house today, very pleased considering only been on market 2 weeks.

Everything is starting to become reality. This week we're going to book in for Meds and end of next week we will lodge the visa. Then it's a million and one things to do before we go hopefully (fingers crossed) as I've worked out we only have 15 weeks before we go OMG.

Totally agree this is an adventure and we must all be mad. But keep thinking of the sunshine the Barbies (Not Babies Pumpkin Blossom!!!) and all the lovely homework!!!

But as I keep telling myself this is my life and not a dress rehersal.

Take care all
Sarah and Russell

Good news on the house, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Great news bout your house Sarah and Russell!!!

Hope it all goes smoothly for you. We've got our first viewers coming tonight! 3 so far so see what happens!! Been going round in circles all day, everytime I clean somewhere and turn my back, there's a wee trail of hand prints!!! LOL

Cheers all
Mandy

Hi
Good luck with your house sales. We opted to sell ours early so we have now been living with the inlaws for the last 6 weeks! only about 7 weeks to go.
Our agent has just told me it is taking about 6-8 weeks for a student visa.
As i said before all mad.
Sean.

Is that 6-8 weeks from start to finish or after meds etc? I thought it was really quick to get a student visa?
Thanks

pumpkin blossom

6-8 weeks? Bugger, everyone on here who gets them seems to get them very quickly. Does anyone know if you can go down to Australia house and get them issued on the day?
Well done on your house buyer Carlton colds. We still haven't had anymore news from our buyer on when/IF he is going to get the extra tests on the house the mortgage company has asked for.

mandyp

I thought the only delays for the student visa was if they were refered to Sydney?!! And that if they were done in London it was 5 - 10 working days?

I'm sure I read on BE somwhere that a same day visa can be done in Oz as long as your meds are done there?!!

Cheers
Mandy

ibioble

Yeah, I read the same Mandy. I hope so because I was planning to fly out to Oz and apply onshore.
