Hi we ended up just flying our Boxer to Australia using PetAir. They were brilliant. Unfortunately our Boston Terrier Died before we emigrated due to kidney failure. the Boxer didn’t fair to well although being fit and healthy and 5 years old. He ended up getting a urine infection in the quarantine kennels as he wouldn’t wee in his kennel run as he’s a super clean dog. He also thought we had abandoned him (according to the great vet that was dealing with him) Our Boxer had basically given up and was refusing to eat. The vets were going in everyday and trying to hand feed him roast chicken. They even called me and put the phone to my dogs ear so I could speak to him. Anyway it was the longest 10 days of my life. On the day when he could fly from Sydney to perth the vet wasn’t too keen on sending him. But I begged saying that once he’s with me he will be fine. Reluctantly the vet agreed and they sent my dog onwards to Perth. Once I collected him at Perth airport he looked like the saddest dog in the world sitting in the crate. Then he heard my voice and it was all tail wags and licks. He spent a few days recovering from the trauma of it all. But I must say he was a different dog. Very needy afterwards and always needed to be closer to me than normal. Unfortunately a year later we had to put him to sleep as he had a huge ‘mass’ in his chest. Give Pet air a call and see what they recommend. Quite a few airlines have a ban on flying snub nosed dogs. Pet Air helped us.

To me blood isn't thicker than water. I have more love and respect for some of my friends than I do my sister. My annoyance is aimed at the people who think that I have to maintain a relationship with my sister because we are related. My father constantly tells me, "You know what she's like" but in my book you can't go around being abusive and hurtful to people just because they are related to you. I don't act like that and I'm sure if I did I would be pulled up pretty quickly but since my sister has always been like that it has somehow become accepted. BUT not to me NO longer. I refuse to be her verbal punching bag and accept her behavior. I agree with you Jin77, we are all going to that Happy Place and what makes me even happier is that my sister is now writhing in jealously that I am going! Mwahahahahaha (evil laugh) -

What a relief it's not just me... Loads of us in the same boat! We may need a bigger boat! I refuse to have anything to do with my sister, basically tried for several years to get along but fed up with the drama that comes with her. After ten years we tried again to maintain a relationship that only lasted 10 months! Now we are back to not speaking and no contact what so ever. She has also now chosen to cut all ties with my Mum. My OH has 3 siblings and only has contact with one of them. He's washed his hands of the rest. He and I both have a close relationship with both sets of parents. What annoys me the most is when people are "shocked'" that I have no contact with my sister. I get all the "you are related, blood is thicker than water, blah blah blah" Life is too short to surround your self with negative, jealous, spiteful people etc. Concentrate on those you love and who love you. It works for us. -
I'm a dog person, I don't dislike cats but I would never have one.

Hi Tania, We posted ours off too after weighing up the cost of a day trip to London. We posted ours off on a Wednesday afternoon and got them back Saturday morning. So a really quick turnaround. To be honest I was a bit disappointed with the sticker. It looked no different than my 6 month visa. The only difference being the wording. I was expecting it it be all gold. I'm now hoping for a brass band when I get off the plane ha ha ha x

congratulations tania xxx so happy for you xxx

I just checked to see how everyone was going and I'm still sitting there all alone... Really hope you all hear something soon. Your right he may of stopped posting, would be nice to keep others informed if he has a visa so people can see some movement .

I just checked in to see where everyone is and I'm shocked that March applicants are still waiting for Visa grants. I'm sitting there all on my own... Hurry up Diac and turn the Marchians Purple. (I looked at the spread sheet) I really hope you all get some good news soon. Keeping my fingers crossed. Mandy xxx

Really pleased you had success with your visa and it all worked out with you not using and agent. For me there are good and bad agents out there. For me personally our agent has been brilliant and managed to get us lodged two days before my OH hit his 45th birthday. Something we could not of done. They did what we paid them for and beyond. We front loaded our medicals and police checks re March 18th email and we went straight to Visa Grant. Everyone has a difference experience. I was originally answering your point where you said 'An agent has nothing to do with the meds' Our agent did have a small input into our meds and explained the pro's and con's of front loading, also needing a receipt from the clinic to upload. But you are right in the grand scheme of things they don't really have much to do with your meds.

Our agent asked for a copy of our receipt for our medicals which she then sent as proof that we had undertaken our medicals. By sent I mean uploaded to our online application. So in our experience the agent did have something to do with the medicals. I think agents want to dot the I's and cross the T's and make sure nothing is overlooked.

Thank you Your visa will not be too far behind. Good luck and all the best. Mandy xxx

Just checked that, I have never clicked on the "message" bit before. This is what it says on ours: Health Requirements have been finalised - application being processed further. The same as you. I think we will hear something in the next couple of weeks.:biggrin:
-
All that is showing is the date when my medicals were received and it says: Health requirements finalised everything is still showing as required. Nothing is showing as MET. Sorry I can't be of more help. :cute:
-
For AAAZR My application has been showing Application received - processing commenced Since the day we lodged our application and all our meds have been finalised. All our documents are still showing as required too. We do not have a case officer but fingers crossed for next week.
