New Arrival

[charliebrown]

I just found this site after an almost daily quest for information on 136 visa processing times..

I'm moving to Perth to be with my girlfriend, submitted the visa at the end of September and got a reply with a case number within a few days (which is not normal from the experiences I have been reading..) but have nothing since.

I cant wait, I'm really marking time here now until I get to go..

Hi Charlie Brown

Welcome to Poms in Oz. Is your skill on the MODL? If it is, this might account for the speedy acknowledgement.

Cheers

Hey Janette, and thank you :) I'm going to be living just south of Perth, in Rockingham (cos thats where my g/f lives) - been there 3 times this year so far and it seems pretty nice - love the coastline..I can see myself spending lots of time with the sea breeze on my face :)

Hi Gill, and thanks :) Cant believe I havent spotted this site before..anyway, I'm here now :)

Yes, I applied under one of the IT MODL ones - I have no idea what to expect time wise really - I'm seeing lots of 6-7 month elapsed times from people here, which is still 4 months or so away, but encouraging none the less. Fingers crossed :)

Thanks Ali :) Perth looks like a very cool place - not actually made it further north than Fremantle yet in the 3 times I've been this year, but I wasnt going for sightseeing, just to spend with with my girlfriend :)

this looks like a very friendly site - loads of advice and wisdom on offer - me likey so far :)

Hi Charlie B

Check out timeline I suggest. From it, you should be able to get recent timelines for IT MODL people on skilled 136 visas.

I love Freo and the markets (hubby not too keen on the latter but loves Freo). We're a only 20 mins away in Leeming. Hope the move happens quickly for you
