I don't know anything about Ironside but I know students and teachers and Indro HS and I would recommend it. It is one of the best schools I have come across in Brisbane - when I looked around I felt it had the most European feel to it, particularly because there is no uniform. It does run the IBDP but only a very small number of students take it there. Other schools close by that run the IBDP include John Pauls, St Peters and the Queensland Academies (QA are state schools, the others are private).
As a state school Indooroopilly will only have a small number of international students and the rest will be 'Australian' - but the 'Australian' students often have international backgrounds.
PM me if you want more information.

All of mine were certified by Drs and 2 forms by pharmacist -visa approved. Followed your link and I see what it says but the information on their site alongside their stat dec forms includes far more professionals than that.

Anyone authorised to sign docs in your country can do it - in uk that includes teachers, drs, pharmacists etc.

I think it sounds more than enough!!! Tax returns to their address and a statement from your mother in law. Don't be daunted by the process, you sound like you have a good application. I was on this thread back in April when I was applying - we had been together 6.5 years and I had to have a phone interview because my application was apparently boderline. Loads of people came and went with their visa's and I didn't get mine till August!! (Am in brisbane now). They just need to account for all the time and that 3 months probably looked like a grey area.
Best of luck

Great news, got visa yesterday! 15 weeks exactly from when payment taken, CO apologised for delay. No idea what took so long. When I applied in April we were planning to leave beginning of September, I handed in my notice in May because that is the deadline for teachers - bit of a gamble. Then in mid June my mother was re-diagnosed with breast cancer after 22yrs in remission, we cancelled all our plans straight away. It was so stressful seeing my mum go through it again and at the back of my mind I knew I was going to be unemployed in a few months. Two weeks ago my mother got all her results back following her mastectomy and they were great - it hasn't spread, they have removed all affected cells and she doesn't require radiotherapy or chemo! Unbelievable relief - still hasn't sunken in! Anyway my mum really wants us to go to Oz and we have started making plans again - thing is my head is all over the place and I feel...actually I have no idea how I feel.
Anyway sorry to off-load all this, just don't really have anyone I want to talk to here.
Good luck to the rest of you!

I am feeling completely miserable!!! I lodged my application on the 20th april, front loaded + form 80 as cherry on top! Asked for extra bits and pieces, sent immediately. Had phone interview beginning of May and told nothing else needed. People are coming and going all around me...........my CO is probably on some Contiki tour around Greece and I'm sat unemployed and ready to go!!! Sorry to be a downer when you are all celebrating :-((

Hi bubba911, i'm still waiting and I applied 12 weeks ago too!!!! Soooo unfair!!

We submitted 19th of April. Looks like we are all about the same time. I had a phone interview on the 22nd of May and was told by CO that they were happy with application and just needed to sort the paperwork. My CO said they had a big backlog and mine would prob take till mid june....the waiting is awful. I haven't booked flights yet but am thinking about it because there are some good prices at the min.
Will let you all know.

Migration Agent Recommendations - Parent Visa 870 / Resident Return Visa 155

Can I ask if it is only worth applying for a 155 visa if you plan to return on a permanent basis at that time? I am returning for a holiday next month but plan to return permanently in the next few years - will a tourist visa jeopardise this at all?
