Hi all,
I've read the forums for ages but never joined - but just wanted to give a little hope to any July/August applicants as it seems that not many visas are coming through lately! We applied on 15th August and actually had our visa approved at the start of January. I feel bad that people have been waiting longer and that there is no rhyme or reason as to why we were granted early except perhaps a well timed email to our CO at the start of the year. We never heard from our CO nor contacted them whilst awaiting the visa (except that first email in Jan asking about the possibility of travelling on a holiday visa) and we were not at all expecting things to be granted quickly. We are married with 2 kids and can't imagine that there would be anything to doubt our case (but most cases seem straight forward anyway).
Just wanted to let people know that they are working on them ....
And also, on booking tickets to Oz with Singapore Airlines - found out that any immigrants with the appropriate visa are allowed double their luggage limit - which is quite handy to know!
