Just moved from Harrogate to Hampshire! There are so many great places to live north and south I reckon.

That's great news! I'm really happy to finally see movement in the CAT5 mess! I'm a CAT5 176 who has been waiting for almost 4 years! It really is good to see people getting CO's. I hope you get a speedy grant, good luck!

Hi everyone,

well sadly we have to agree with you all! The new update isnt looking good for us FS

We were just travelling back from a little holiday this morning and thought we would check if the update had come, kinda wish we hadnt now as we were instantly gutted to hear their 'statement' about FS visas and I then felt awful and cried most of way home, this put a dampner on the holiday!!!

I think it is like Arshad says above, we may see some movement end of next financial year, but we cant all sit around waiting for DIAC to give us a break so I dont know about you but were gonna carry with life and put our thoughts of oz to the back of our minds!

hi all, glad to see you have joined the thread, and thanks for agreeing that it was much needed!

I was hoping there may be some news by now, but that's just wishful thinking!

Fingers crossed we may know our fate this week!

Nice move having this new thread. That another thread is flooded mostly by onshore Cat 5.

By the way, just happened to know my passport had expired last March. Do you think it might affect my application for the delay? Will get it renewed asap.

Hi Vincenz, there should be no problems with your passport, you can just add your new details using a change of circumstance form, I have changed my passport twice due to expiry then marriage!

Hi to all the CAT 5 OFFSHORE FAMILY SPONSORED people

Well Im sure as like me you have been religiously following the 'New Category 5's - Where are you now?' thread (sometimes more than once a day!!!)

Just thought it would be a good idea to start a new thread for us Family Sponsored OFFSHORER's as the majority of the other thread has been predominantly based around the ONSHORE peeps

This thread will just give us an idea of how many there are of us out there awaiting our visas and will give us the opportunity to track the progress of any new updates and issues that arise, aswell as a place to vent our concerns!!!!!!

We've got our fingers crossed that come Monday any changes or updates work in our favour and that they begin to process the 176 visa class

Our timeline is as follows

176 Family sponsored visa

applied Online 16th December 2008

business and info professionals (NEC)

Feel free to add your timeline too!

So come on peeps lets stay positive and keep our fingers crossed over the weekend that 2012/2013 will be our year!!!!

Thanks all

Claire, Liam and Baby Joey

Oops meant to add agent also said to just wait until get CO to add baby, is it worth adding before or not?

Thanks

Hey Everyone

Just got a query re adding my 6 month old son to our visa application

We are cat 5 Dec 2008 offshore applicants and we are remaining hopeful that one day

we might get our visa so we have got our son a passport and we want to add him to our

application

I have been given the 1022 change of circumstance form by my agent

and have been told to add my baby's name, dob and passport number on

the form and to then post along with relevant evidence copies (passport page,

birth cert) etc to Adelaide processing centre, I queried if this could be added online

but was advised I can only post the docs manually

Just wondering if anyone has done this and if so how they went about sending the info

Thanks for your help

Claire, Liam and baby Joey.
