I'm sure we can sort out something for around then. Any ideas where your heading in Perth?

Hi Kimanda, Brilliant sounds good to me as you can tell from my original post I'm a bit short on mates for a group outing HA HA but heres hoping.

oops!! I'm livings in Floreat next to Subiaco. Oh and also in my late 20's..

Hi everyone I'm Carole from Glasgow I arrived in Perth 5 weeks ago with my fella Steve and so far I really love it but I'm seriously missing my girlfriends from back home I'm sure I'm not the only one. There is only so much time you can spend with just the fella before you want to kill them ha ha so if anyone is interested in a few drinks or anything drop me a message.

Hi everyone This is my partners account. I'm 30 from Glasgow, Scotland arrived 5 weeks ago. Like everyone else really missing the girlies back home. would love to meet up for drinks a chat and a laugh. Carole

just wanted to say i got my visa today and i wanted to thank all of you that post on this site for all your info, especially the mods and the rma's. good luck to the rest of you waiting for news on your visa's!!

Visa grant today!!!!! Yay. Only 4 weeks fr date of lodgement! So excited

i fel your pain and feel sorry for you. it really is a nightmare at times but believe me its worth it when your there i lived there for 2 years and have longed to go back ever since, but like yourself it has been a struggle at times (its taken me 2 years to get all the info together and apply) but if you stick with it and you want it enough you'll make it out there!

im heading hopefully soon (no visa as yet but i think im close fingers crossed) but as luck would have it i already have oz electrical licenses and a kiwi one all transferable by mutual recognition yay. go down to adelaide and do it there and then transfere it to wa.

getting closer. now just have the nz pcc to upload and then i hope its visa time after that :goofy: my case officer is the best bloke in the world, quick, concise, professional replies from him. He really has made me feel a lot less confused/panicky over everything by just giving me a simple instruction of what exactly he needs to progress the visa app. i sent him an email monday night when i said i had uploaded more stuff and he replied by 9:30 am his time tuesday saying all was fine and just reminding me about the nz pcc. absolute legend!

went to bali, hotel was $63 a night. nice hotel and very cheap for what it was, however on the last night took the missus out for a meal on the beach front at the hotel. i did try and ask how much it was for the banquet before they sat us down but they didn't really "understand" me so i thought it couldn't be that expensive and sat down anyway. worked out to be the equivalent of $85 each for food:chatterbox: that is the equivalent of spending 1 billion dollars for a meal in oz

Most of the time this means you good to go when you get the PCC's but it is DIAC after all. I have learnt never take anything for granted with immi until you can see it in black and white!!! :wink: Good luck

actually i just had a good idea. if i got it from the net it would have been in my downloads on my comp so i just looked it up and it was still there and it def does not have a signature so does anyone know what the case officer is asking for? i had uploaded the whole letter to him at time of application so is he just wrong? it does say on my document check list as well that it is 'met'. thanks

i got a successful outcome letter for electrician general in june 2011. i applied for 176 and got a co. he has asked for the second page of the skills assesment letter with the assessors signature and date of outcome but i dont seem to have a page with the assessors signature, it only has the date of outcome and a code which i assume is the assesors number. can i get a replacement letter or does anyone else know about this page i dont know weather ive lost it or what happened. i dont think i lost it im pretty sure i didnt get one seeing as i got the outcome letter from the net online portal..... thanks all

yep, my co was very specific in the couple of things he wanted. he asked for oz and New Zealand pcc, we got our nz pcc just hadnt uploaded them yet. he also asked for our lease on our aprtment for defacto requirements. thought i had uplodaed that but obv i forgot getting confused with the miles of paperwork i have uploaded lol. i think i must have got a very good case officer from what i read on here some can be a bit vague in what they want the email he sent me seemed personalised for me rather than an automated response like some others get, if you know what i mean.
