The Australian High Commission on the Strand also provides notorial services for a fee and you don't have to make an appointment. http://uk.embassy.gov.au/lhlh/Consular1.html

How strange! I grew up in Perth and we always had vinegar on our chips, but then maybe that's because we used to have more Pommie immigrants than other parts of the country :wink: There were also big jars of pickled onions on the counter and I'd always nag my Mum and Dad to have one, with only limited success. Having lived in Britain for 11 years, I still can't get used to cod and haddock though. I'm much more partial to a nice thick slice of deep fried Snapper.

You definitely don't need to mention the ex. Just say you were staying with a friend :-)

Hi Playghirl, our CO was MT as well. She doesn't usually say anything other than the application is progressing and doesn't normally give any other details. We applied very early September last year and ours was granted just before Christmas, so it was just under 4 months all up. Good luck!

Unfortunately not - we've got a house to sell and until that's done we won't be able to book any flights. Fingers crossed it will be off our hands soon so we can finally get going! Best of luck to everyone still waiting for their visas :smile:

Hi Laroo, we submitted ours in early September in exactly the same way that you did and it was approved in just under four months, just in time for Christmas :biggrin:. We were also told at the time that it would be a five to six month wait, so fingers crossed you'll get some good news through very soon!

We had MT and were granted a defacto visa in just under 4 months. We were asked for meds and 1 additional piece of information (very specific to our circumstances, which I won't go into here).

Wellieboots & mtlboi are right, this does sound a bit strange. We submitted our application at Aus House in September and it was approved just before Christmas. I would have thought a 6 month backlog would only affect people who had only just sent their applications in, not those that had already been sitting there for 7 months.

After my post on the forum this afternoon I get home to find out that the visa has been granted today! 3 months & 3 weeks after it was submitted. Our CO was MT. :ssign19:

And mine! Submitted ours on 26th August, no news yet :-(
