Re: Online application and other docs

It says it in the confirmation email you get from immi (within 24 hours of you getting your TRN number online) - it is a very long email but it does say it in there somewhere.

The only things that...

Re: What is it like to live by Pittwater, eg, Bayview, Newport etc?

Re: Visa Connection agency in the Sunday Papers

I filled out the 956 and I can tell you it feels so liberating when you start to take control. You realise how easy it actually is to most of the stuff. Some difficult questions may come up (eg, past...

Re: What is it like to live by Pittwater, eg, Bayview, Newport etc?

Decent pub sounds good ;-)

Would you say Newport is more 20 somethings with no kids/1 designer baby? Or is it more 30 somethings with a couple of kids?

I actually have a strange fascination...

Really glad everything seems to be working out for you. Looks like they are trying to sort the mess out. Who knows what the mess is or was.

How much further is Avalon (driving time)? I may need to drive to North Ryde at commuting time (hopefully not but I need to allow for the possibility).

Re: How soon to travel to Oz after residency accepted

I believe that you have to go within a year of your medical. Before you get your visa, you could get a new medical and get it based on that one instead - that would push it out for another year at...

Not sure what it means exactly - I guess it means that BE are going to run it by the lawyers to make sure they aren't exposed to allegations of defamation.
