Visa type other than Skilled Visa's

Hi all,
I am new to this site, and have found it interesting to read all the varing experiences, however, I have found they all relate to Skilled Visa or working type visa's. I have applied on a Special Elegability Visa (having lived in OZ during childhood) and I wondered if there was anyone out there to share some knowledge on time scales etc on different visa's? We applied in Jan 2006 and have just (August 6th 2007) had our medicals and police checks requested via our agent.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Debs

Hi Debs

Welcome to Poms in Oz.

Are you applying for the subclass 151 Former Resident visa? To be honest I have seen almost nothing about it. There was one thread on here over a year ago but the applicant did not post the eventual outccome or the timescale.

Do a search on British Expats, I would suggest, as well as on here. BE has been going for much longer than we have and has a far bigger membership, so the question you are asking has a much higher chance of having cropped up before on there than on here.

Here on PIO, we pride ourselves on quality rather than volume. We aim to be the friendliest of the forums.

Look forward to seeing you around on PiO.

Cheers

Gill

Hi Gill and thanks for your response. Yes we are applying for the Subclass 151 visa... I know it is not a common visa application but just wondered out of curiosity more than anything!!!
I still enjoy reading the other topics as they are helpful as well.
