We are looking for temporary accommodation for maybe 3 months. Hope to have the visa and go by end of September.

Thought I'd share my news with you all......have received a positive skills assessment from the ANMC, can't quite believe it. Walking on air at the moment!!!

The main application is actually with our agent who has said it'll be ready to send in a few days and should be with DIMIA in around a week, everything is moving so fast (apart from the house sale!) all I'll have left to do is to register with QNC so I can actually work there

Maybe they are trying to push these assessments through? Just hope the visa is as quick and the house selling even quicker!! You've been fairly lucky to have had as many viewers in such a short time, my house has been on now for 11 weeks and we've only had 3 viewers and a no show! we are now trying another estate agent to see if we can get things moving, hopefully things will start moving again after the election.

Re: So what stage is everyone at now!?
Just booked my childrens medicals for next week, waiting for the case file number before me and the wife do ours.
Would it be ok to:
1) Ask the doc to do our bloods so the results will be back when we have our meds done
2) Get our chest X rays done when seperately when we take the kids.
Anyone any thoughts?

Re: So what stage is everyone at now!?
Had kids meds done today, no obvious problems other than daughters previous kidney problem. Doc is holding them till we get a case number and then get ours done.
Recieved a mail from DIMIA saying my CC company wouldnt authorise the payment. The company rang me last night to check. I said it was OK and have mailed DIMIA to take the payment as this time it should go through.
Then got a mail saying the mail to DIMIA could not be delivered, 'unable to collect to mail domain' but it wil keep trying to deliver it. I may ring tomorrow night if problem continues.

Re: So what stage is everyone at now!?
I have booked our medicals for the 27th May for the 4 of us. Me, Richard, Aimee (9) and Georgia (1.5)
Bloods and Xrays for me & Rich are going to be done on the 17th May and we collect our own Xrays piccies to tale to meds.
Taking a chance really cos we haven't been requested but had an email from DIMIA acknowledging the application and it said they will be writing shortly with Case number and Officers name.
If we have the meds done at least they are done rather than waiting another 4-6 weeks.
But we still haven't sold the house either. Had a viewing on Friday and they loved it were making plans about the bedrooms etc. Spoke to estate agent yesterday and apparently they want more privacy in the back garden. She told them to plant some trees.... mmmm think they already thought of that one!
Getting a bit scared now thinking about all that lies ahead of us!
