Our Agent emailed us and we had Acknowledgement with File Reference and ICSE Request ID. It included Receipt for our Bank Draft too, which they had on 5th December 2007 after all this time I cant believe it-one step closer.
So for everybody thats waiting it shouldnt be long now. Claire I hope you've got yours let me know?

Our Police checks are with our Agent and have not done our Meds yet. Agent wants us to wait until we get Ack. Who is your Agent if you don't mind me asking?

Our Agents are Concept Australia, my sister-in-law used them, they now live near Melbourne.
Our Agents have advised us to wait too but if you have to wait long time for CO and then get Medicals, the time is even longer. We've hoping to get over there by end 2008.
How about you, I see you sold your house-did that take long? Not even put ours on Market yet, want my Visa first

Yes, we sold our house much quicker than we expected. We put it on assuming it would take at least 6 months but it took 2 days. It went under offer end of Sept and we completed contracts 30 November. It was a real shock. We are in rented now which we just love it is an old 5 bedroom house and is costing us hardly anything a month. It is owned by Rydon Properties and our contract runs out in May but they have said we can stay on as long as we want which is great for us. We even have all our bits and pieces stored here as originally we were going to have to put it all into storage.
Unfortunately renting is money wasted but we did okay with selling the house and hopefully when we do get our Visa it is one thing less to worry about.
My attitude now is that hopefully we will be in Oz by end of this year.

Thats a good attitude to have, but its very frustrating as I like to be in control
I hope when we come to sell our house that its happens that quick too.
I see that you are going to Perth, have you been there?
