Well, there is no correlation between being in Australia at the time of applying and getting rejected for that. Nope, absolutely no. Of course, since 175 or 176 being offshore visas as such, the law stipulates that the applicant(s) must be out of Australia when it is granted. Just before the granting the visa, your CO would recommend you (and your family) to go on an overseas trip (even NZ would do) for a week or so and the visa is granted in the meantime. When you enter Australia once the visa comes through, the visa gets activated and hey, you are permanent residents! :wink: Good luck! armandra!

Sorry, what is it that you looking for? :err: armandra!

Well, Vic takes the longest and is the toughest to get in! Sorry if that sounds negative but that's what it is. I applied back in Jan '11 and they approved it in June.

Guess you can't do much about it then, can you? Give it your best and forget the rest as they say!:wink: armandra!

No one said about someone being good or for that matter being bad. All that the OP said is since we are making the move taking in so much pains, it would probably be worth the effort if one can be positive and upbeat about the whole thing instead of being reluctant from day one and carrying a pessimistic bent of mind. In other words, the chances of our attitude making a difference are far higher than the person next to us feeling good/bad about it, that is. armandra!

I second that! :hug: armandra!
