Hi Mark and Helen,
OH is an electrician so going out on that, my job doesn't make the list!
Oh no, so your one of these guys that got your application in during August - really feel for you, with all this waiting - at least they are now pre-acknowledging August apps - I know I'd be mega frustrated! Looks like waiting to do your meds might be a good idea and see if things pick up?!
So where are you off to in Aus - have you decided yet?

Hi lynda,
We are hoping to go to Brisbane area,we have thought about Townsville but there doesnt seem to be alot of surf for the kids,and what better way than to move to somewhere where the beach is less than 15mins from your house.
Im not worried about work cos i am a great beleiver in if you want work you will find work anywhere. I have had the great fortune of working in Oz before ,although that was 18yrs ago.
I do wish i had waited till after the 1st of Sept before i sent my application though,and then i could have done it on line. We havnt used an agent we have done it our-selves and probably saved
our-selves £2000 to £ 3000 .

Hi and welcome,

just to say be aware that you will need to validate your visa a year from the date you recieve police clearance checks/ passesed medical checks.......whichever comes back to you first. In my experience looking at the ASPC website is disheartening and the time lines of other people on PIO seems to be more informative, accurate and encouraging. Looking at your time line I would think you should get a case officer very soon. Good luck!
