    That's great! The thought of having to go through a medical exam terrified me.... but it really was a piece of cake. I went to the Spire in Edinburgh and they were amazing. The panel doctor was so friendly and everyone put me at ease. My CO (SV) told me back in December that my visa would be granted end of April, and she hasn't budged from that date. I entered Oz on an ETA last month and only this week received an email from my CO telling me that my visa will be ready and to send her my flight details of when I leave the country. I'll be going to New Zealand on April 30 for a few days and will come back an Australian permanent resident.... I've been really impressed with Australia so far and feel no homesickness whatsoever (which has surprised me)... I just can't wait to be able to start working again. All the best! :biggrin:

    Hey, As mine was a spousal visa, all of my id documents and criminal checks were sent by post. I sent my CO the original after making a copy for myself... All the best

    Hey, I ordered an international bank draft in Canadian dollars and posted it to them with the fingerprints and details. I had my bank make the draft out to "Receiver General of Canada"... The RCMP took 4 months to send me my police clearance!!!! I hope it takes a lot less for you, but be prepared for a long wait. All the best!

    I know how you feel.... I submitted my application towards the end of November and I've been checking emails like crazy every day. I'm on a tourist visa that expires in June, so I'm not too worried. But 2 days before I arrived in Oz (March 13th), my CO reiterated that my visa is due to be granted at the end of April. Surely, if there was a delay, she would have said something, it was only a month ago.... I arrived in Oz with a ticket to NZ booked for April 30th, and I'm really hoping I don't need to change the date.... I'm so glad there's a forum like this to be able to read others' experiences... Good luck... Hopefully, yours will be through soon!

    Hey... I got too sick of waiting for the thing to come through, so I got myself an evisitor and arrived last week. I had armed myself with a one way ticket to New Zealand dated when my visa is due to be granted (end of april), and I printed off emails from my CO... To my surprise, they didn't ask me anything and I got through customs and Quarantine in all of 5mins... Go figure... It feels so nice to finally be with my partner again... Since I'm not allowed to work, I'm just treating this like a mini holiday and am loving every second. :wink:

    Just out of curiosity... Is another medical required at the second stage?

    That is FANTASTIC news!!!! You guys will be reunited soon enough! Hopefully there will be some really good films on to make the flight seem shorter!

    I lodged end of November and the wait is killing me! I left the UK with a tear in my eye last week and am visiting my family in Canada for a couple of weeks until I head to Oz.... It would be SOOOOO nice to have the PR by March 15th. However, I don't see it happening

    I actually sent everything I had in... I decided that they would make the call as to what they considered acceptable. I sent 2-3 years worth of bank statements, pay stubs, anything and everything with our names and address on it. i sent about 50 emails that were sent in 2003-2004 during our "dating" stage. i sent wills, photos, utility bills, council tax notices. I even sent the bill of lading of when I had my stuff shipped to move to the UK from Canada in 2005. I got a TON back, but at least my file wasn't delayed because they wanted more evidence. I'm not 100% sure, but I thought I read somewhere that they scan everything you send and send it back... I guess it's better to be safe than sorry...

    Pack your bags and go :biggrin:... Sounds like your dog will be in good hands, so it's the best way forward for all involved. Better to go than to stay and go crazy!

    If the Australian Dollar has soared and is now worth more, doesn't that mean you can buy more? Shouldn't things be cheaper with a higher dollar?

    I really feel for you guys. He's only 14 and everyone makes mistakes.... I can't understand why no one will take him, it doesn't make sense to me. I mean, one mistake and you can't be educated??? As someone has mentioned, at that age, kids are obliged by law to attend school so I don't understand why these schools are being unbelievably harsh. I don't condone any kind of drug use, but let's face it... kids will be kids. I hope it gets sorted and wish you guys all the best! And also, I thought religion was meant to teach forgiveness?!

    Definitely the million! Australia doesn't have a monopoly on "beautiful places to live"... There are other countries on this planet... :biggrin:
