Hi Guys Dear All, For the past some months i've been following this thread quietly. i applied in Nov 2008 as a family sponsored 475 applicant. sadly after 6 months after submitting my application the goal posts were changed. My friend who applied 6 months before in the same subclass got through! i waited till 2012 for something to come up. every year july used to come and bring fresh hope, only for the following april to come and quash any of those good vibes. since 2013 i've expanded my business and worked hard on it, so that i'm in a state of reaping the benefits of those hard yards. since the last 8 months or so i've lost complete interest in my application. i take this news today with a pinch of salt. my dream ended in my mind long time back. it wasnt probably in my fate to go to australia.so be it. adios mates. this forum has been a great source of strength and information. I dont have anything against the boat people, but it seems that the asylum seekers stand a better chance of getting or forcing themselves into the land of their choice! Go well guys. i may come, albeit as a silent spectator, to this forum. good luck to all those still hanging there. bye.

yeah i agree that some people wait YEARS for thier visas. i have waited exactly 4 YEARS and 1 MONTH and 13 DAYS for it now! sorry i couldnt bring it down to the hours,minutes and seconds of waiting! like the saying goes "by the time man reaches greener pastures, he is too tired to cross the fence", maybe when i get the visa i will come to oz land with my walking stick in tow!

sorry just got a tad flustered.

So its Curtains for the moment for other family sponsored applicants. Its the same old bullshit from DIAC. dangle a carrot at the start of every year and then show us the middle finger, midway through. rather than kidding with us like this,why doesnt DIAC refund the amounts of the pending applicants, so that they can get on with their lives?this is going on for too long now. the
