A chill passed over me and for a split second and I thought what the hell are we doing, :swoon:then the resident village gossip p:witch-irritated:assed by and tapped on my window, where the curtain had just been parted from me looking to see what the noise was about. As she peered in asking me “have you got your ticket now is this why your house is on the market” Oh hell yes!!:jiggy: you gossip, go spread the word quicker than the information super highway. :laugh:

Just hope it is not a slow and pain filled sale.:huh:

My property also has gone live today with our new estate agents.

Hi and welcome to this thread I have now added your details to the front page.

Hi Tania,

 

:biggrin:Yippee!!! Turn me purple! :biggrin:

:jiggy:Our Visa was granted today! :jiggy:

 

We got a direct grant without any case officer contact! Our CO Team was Team 7!

 

It seems that it was a good idea to frontload really absolutely everything (PCCs, Meds, Form 80) + double and triple evidence for everything else.:wink:

I actually could not really imagine what else they might request... :wub:

 

@Blech: Now its your turn!

 

Good Luck to all of you! I am hoping for lot´s of COs and Grants this week!

Congratulations on your visa grant :jiggy::jiggy::jiggy:

:chatterbox: I want one:chatterbox: mine are going in the post tomorrow, do I trust hubby to do it:nah:. or should I wait till monday.:swoon:

I let my husband post them he did a good job lol

When and where is it you're heading off to again Tania once your house is sold?

Queensland.

So jealous not sent mine yet. Bet it feels real now just think how much them pink pieces of paper cost. I googled visa stamp on images. :wacko::wacko:

Lol we did the same went on google to see what it looked like first and guess what you can track them when you send them off in the post as you get a tracking number:wacko: we can't stop looking at them,

I got my Passport's back today with the visa label in, I posted them on Tuesday and they came back today Friday so not long at all.

It has been a very quiet so here is hoping next week will be busy busy busy :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

I blame Anlopa.....I was a normal guy before this. My wife has now become a nut job in getting the house ready to sell.

My Husband booked this week off to relax :SLEEP: :nah: I sorted all my loft out ready for him to take to the skip :biggrin:

Hmmm... Maybe this is because we uploaded a Change of address form nearly 3 months ago. Medicals have been uploaded and changed to finalised already 2 weeks ago.. Pccs are up as well....

 

Somehow I am rather nervous this morning... :skeptical:

It looks like you may have a CO, can you email DIAC or an agent as ask?

Arghhh what a crazy 7 days it's been! :wacko:

 

Last Thursday i was under serious pressure to get five deadlines done before 5pm as i was going off for three days to visit family...rushing out the door to go and get packed at home and bosses call me back for an 'important chat' - needless to say i started panicking, thinking 'they've found out we're going, argghh!' .... low and behold, they offer me a promotion! needless to say i skirted round the issue coz i didnt want to say 'no i'm leaving' so said i needed a few days to think about it.

 

thats part one lol

 

got back to work on wednesday and managed to be in meetings all day and avoid speaking to the bosses lol, but while i was doing that we got bookings for two viewings on our house that night. night came and two viewings later, the second viewer came back to the door five mins later and offered us the asking price and a flexible move out date!! all got confirmed today so waiting to finalising missives already!

 

now we're formulating our resignation letters, argghhh its all so mad! police checks are apparently on their way so we'll soon be in the waiting room too! plus trying to get car mot and service sorted plus three family birthdays eeekkk :arghh: and our 12 year anniversary is on monday too, gotta buy a present! lol

 

It sounds kinda crazy (probably anlopa's madness rubbing off on us all) but I can smell my exciting new future just round the corner - all i need now is the golden ticket rubber stamp to top things off!!

 

fingers are always crossed for everyone else!! :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

OMG congratulations on getting a buyer :jiggy: I have been trying for 3 years :sad: good luck with all your moving plans

Hi and welcome to this thread I have now added your details to the front page.

Really quiet week with visas and COs :frown:

 

"sigh"

Yeah its a little disapointing, lets hope its because they are working on files and they haven't contacted anyone yet because they are not ready for them to do their medicals, their is still tomorrow!! keeping my fingers crossed

Hello Everyone,

 

I've got some good news. I got my PRE_GRANT today.

 

I got a direct PRE-GRANT - as I had uploaded all docs. I have given details below.

 

Visa - 175, Appl - 27/May/2011, Code 261311, PCC, Med, Form80 - preloaded, Pre-Grant - 24/11/11 at 4:30 pm.

 

I had been a silent follower of this forum. Thank you everyone ... and hope all of you get your pre-grants soon.

Congratulations on your visa grants :jiggy::jiggy::jiggy:

This is a link about process of cat 5, I think it is good news for them also is say how many are left in cat 4 so may be of interest to you all.

Any news on your house sale Tania?

No not yet, we have a new estate agent that will market our property this Monday coming so I am feeling positive!! and think we will hopefully get a offer.

Good luck everyone::hug::hug::hug:

Im just a bit worried now as we are in the process of selling our house.... if we exchange before we get a decision and then it is not the decision we are waiting for, jeez dont even want to think that far

Don't worry, as you mentioned your house!! they have to advise you that you should wait for a decision just as they advise you not to do medicals until requested, I think I coped better than some because they could check online reading messages like met, referred, requested everyday for me I had to just wait for my agent to be in contact, it won't be long just try and amuse your self in the waiting room :twitcy: hope you hear something soon :biggrin:

Hi Tania, Police checks uploaded 21st Nov, Medicals carried out 19th Nov.

 

That's everything done now (hopefully). I suppose now we wait.............

I have up dated the first page so now its waiting in the waiting room, good luck hopefully not long to wait.
