Well I knew it had to be my turn soon but I'm still in shock - Tania please turn me pink. We have a CO - Team 4 GH. It still shows processing commenced on page 1 when I check online but on page 2 everything is met except for PCCs and meds :biggrin:

Congratulations!! :wink:

Tania, CAN YOU PLEASE TURN ME PURPLE...............:wubclub::jiggy::jiggy:

 

WOO HOOOOOOOOO Visa time:yes:

Congratulations to you!! :biggrin:

Hi Tania

I would say that yes you could become her legal custodian but you would probably need her parents permission to do this so if you dont think they will let her go it's a tough one. Good luck :wubclub:

You should see the dianosaurs in cat 5, i am there right from August 2007 so is VB.

I know we were in cat 5 for 2 years until July of this year when the rules changed. Hopefully you won't have to wait too much longer as it looks like they are getting through the other categories at quite a good speed! Fingers crossed for you :wubclub:

Brilliant news!! Not long now hopefully. :wubclub:

Guys, by the grace of God, our visa has been approved.

 

Thanks for everyone's support for the past 8-9 months of wait.

Big congratulations to you:wubclub:

I would like to know how you got contact by C.O. ( by e-mail or my normaal post mail)?

We had an agent so they contacted them who emailed us but I think people who didnt have agents got contacted by email also but not 100%

:mask:330 Euros I feel like I have been mugged.

I know! The differences in prices are shocking aren't they?!:jimlad:

had our medicals today, he said the blood test would take a week and he would send everything over afterwards. No eHealth....

fingers crossed....

Why no eHealth for you again? :wubclub: Where did you go for your meds and how did you find it?!! Just as some people have good experiences and some have not so good :embarrassed: so just wondered how yours was, ours was good at Manchester. :cute:

I'd like to start the day off with a little poem from Mia Peterson entitled "A World made of pink"::wink:

 

It's just a new obsession

A color which makes me go insane

Pink is not any kind of fiction

Pink always helps me gain

Faith, confidence and everything I need

Trust, joy and a bit of laughter

This color helps me succeed

Pink makes me an angel in disguise

It's the color which brings joy to me and my crew

Pink is a color so mighty, so great

 

Turn me pink!!! CASE OFFICER!!!:jiggy::jiggy:

 

 

Congrat Tania!!! And thanks for making space for me:hug:

 

 

 

Hold on tight annever!! Your turn is next:jiggy:

 

Now just to get all the docs DIAC requested.....:wacko:

A

I went to bed at 9pm as I always do watched TV till 10pm then turned it off so I could go to sleep and my husband sits down stairs on the laptop till midnight most night looking at stuff to but lol but he also keeps a check on my emails, at 10pm as I just turned the TV off he phoned me from down stairs (lazy) to tell me we got our visa so not had much sleep since, I did send an email to my Agent demanding information to why I haven't got my Visa and this was my reply.

How did you fine out just out of interest, is it morning in Aus already?!!:jiggy:

So I have sent another email today asking my agent to make contact with my co as I am loosing sleep waking up checking my emails through the night as its now driving me insane, I also asked why after 7 weeks since I have done my medicals is it taking so long to make a decision.

Something has got to happen soon for you Tania, it's getting passed ridiculous now!! :shocked:

DCAL & ASJAD, BIG CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR VISA GRANTS!!!!!!!! :jiggy:

Hi. I have just checked my application again and there is a change in message regarding the medicals. It is to do with my sons who was referred. 11/11 medicals referred, 15/11 medicals finalised. Does that mean that he has passed his medical and they dont need any more info or need to do any more tests?

Yes that means they are finished with them!! Great news. :wubclub:

Our one said they upload as a family!!

Ours didn't, they did my daughters there and then when we were sitting there and then ours followed a few days later - we went to Manchester though!

You don't get rid of me that easy :wacko:

I will be around to see everyone get their grants, I hope both you and core get grants this week as you 2 are the longest since lodgement.:notworthy:

:jiggy:

Just a quick question, when you get 5 spare mins will you do me a favour and check your online application and let me know what it says under the other applicants when you click on their 'applicant approved' link, its just as on mine when you click on my OH's his has details about his visa but when you click on mine and our daughters it says 'please confirm your passport number', I asked my agent if I should complete It and he says no as the visa has now been granted so i don't need to do anything else!! I don't know whether to just complete them myself but just wondered if anyone else has had this happen to them!! :wubclub:

:chatterbox:

I've dropped some magazines and jigsaws outside the waiting room and if someone could take the reserved sign of my chair as I don't need it any more as I woke this morning and checked online to see everything on the first page to Applicant Approved. We are so happy the kids are crying and Martin has just floated down the path on his way to work.

Hang in their you guys I have stressed out since getting my CO and him asking for extra docs, he never changed my docs page once which added to the stress and even now the docs page still says required.

 

AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH so what do I do now?

You don't have to do anything, your APPROVED!!!!

I am so pleased for you, that's a great start to the week!!

Let the rest of the planning commence!!! :jiggy:

Hi guys

I know this should be posted on a different thread but I feel you are all kinda my friends so wanted to put it on here.

 

I can't believe how many negative things I'm hearing/reading about moving to oz lately. Like how expensive it is and quite a lot of people are returning to the UK etc. for example my friends have just moved to Adelaide and she emaile me saying that and i quote it's sooooo expensive to live out there, food wise etc!

Don't get me wrong I'm still 100% committed to going I just pray that we don't go out there and can't survive and have to return

 

I just want to hear some positive things I guess

I have also been following this thread, found some useful things out.

http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/money-finance/130621-outgoing-money-each-month.html

Don't forget to bring any unwanted magazines and jigsaws for the waiting room.

 

Also for people who need to sit down please ensure you arrive early as most of the seats are already reserved. :mask::jimlad:Look forward to seeing you all tomorrow bright and early.

 

I believe a new carpet has been laid over the weekend as the back and forth pounding motion:Randy-git:(feet my dears) of the long timers had caused a bold patch. :goofy:.

 

I think I'm going to have to declare a change on my health requirements I have turned in to a fruit loop. :wub:

:notworthy:To a happy week. :notworthy:

It's been a couple of weeks for yours and Tanias COs holiday now hasn't it??

Bring on the visas next week I say, hopefully you might not get to finish your jigsaw!!!:biggrin:

Does anyone have any advice about taking a car? Is it worth selling our one and buying out there (although I hear it's expensive to buy). Is it expensive to get a bigger container for the car to import and fees etc?

It can be done but I think it's expensive and seems like a lot of work, found a link for you

http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/transport-shipping/97053-transporting-your-car-oz-everything-you-need-know.html

was it an older lady with shoulder length grey hair? She was very straight in her attitude and didn't smile or put me at ease much, that didn't help as i was already a wreck:rolleyes::mad:

 

She is a professional Doctor though all the same so i really can't moan, i just expected a nice bright and cheery Doctor, who would be kind and caring, as i have heard many times on this forum about the Panel Doctors.

I must admit that our doctor in Manchester was amazing, I was told to wrap a sheet around myself and he uploaded my daughters details whilst we were sitting there and we didn't get fondled at all!! He just put us at ease the whole time and was really lovely and we were only in just over an hour :biggrin:
