Thank for the advice all. I contacted our case officer and she advised that there would be no affects to our visa application. So we have sent in our 956 form, and they are being removed.

Please be careful, we used Global visas as they promised us we could have our remaining relative visa in 6-9months, and well 18months down the line we are still waiting and to top it all off we had to pay them their fees before they would submit our application.

Hi we used Global visas, and they are rubbish- we have just had them removed off our case..

Ok, just wanted to see if anyone has done this before.. Our immigration agent are rubbish and we want to remove them from our visa application. But are wondering if it would be detrimental to our visa application. Any advice would be great.

Hi, I haven't heard of Thinking Australia. but I can tell you who Not to use and its a company called "global visas". they are full of empty promises...

Thank you for the info, but because she has been in school already for 6months, what would the procedure be for us then?

So hoping someone can help.. We will be moving to singleton nsw, and are looking into the school side of things. My daughter is in reception (kindergarten in aus) at the moment and has been since sept'2012. Her birthday is in Oct, she is currently 5yrs old. Now it gets complicated as she aswell as 10 others have been moved up a class to year1, but they don't cover all of the year 1 curriculum. If we moved today she wouldn't be starting primary school yet... And would only start primary school next year January. Now is there a procedure that we can following to ensure she can continue in the kindergarten year, or is the schooling program a hard and fast rule of when to start school.

Hi, I have used a migration agent, and paid. Them 1200 to do the application- be to be honest they have been rubbish! I have had to contact the immigration office myself to get the information I wanted. But now I want to "fire" them, but am worried that doing that will be detrimental to our application which should be granted anytime now.. Any ideas or advice..

Hi, managed to get our queue date today being sept 2011. Lets hope our application gets looked at quickly.
