Who's going to Oz II
Well ... it's been a while since we had an update all round .... So here goes!
Post 1st July Application
Visa application etc in Adelaide, application signed for on 19th July, CC debited 22nd July. THAT was so
. Except today the bloody credit card bill turned up, so now I've gotta pay it! 
No acknowledgement letter yet .. but not looking, or worrying about it yet(honest
)
House and (my) car sold, in rented ... so not much to hold us up ...
Going to Brisbane ....

We do have a 'fly in the ointment' .....
We told case officer that our meds have been there for a while ... they came back with "Sorry no record of them ... hope they turn up in a month!"
Don't know whether to start the process all over again, or to tough it out?

Jez , just had a thought , you're POST JULY so medicals should be sent to Sydney ?? and not ASPC where you sent yours. Are they looking in the wrong place ?
I'm sure you've already brought this to their attention but hey ! just a thought !

We we planning to be a pre July 1st application, but problems at ANC ....
Meds preceded application to ASPC.
Now they've changed the rules and the location has changed for delivery of meds ... we're still trying to get the CO to look for them at ASPC ... as he says they aren't there ... but we now have proof from auspost that they were delivered .... The CO's solution? Stop answering emails ! Sooo it's a redoing of the meds ... ho bloody hum !

just read you are going to Perth, we want to go to Perth but we don't think Hubbie can get work as a paramedic. So we are heading to Brisbane we think! Fremantle hospital is great I worked there in 2000 for 3 months on various wards and departments for an agency. I loved the place. Loads of british expats work there. They are so friendly in Freo. Have you been before? Just thought I'd let you know how great it is.
Good Luck Marie
