Hi we applied for our cpv over one year ago and still waiting for requests for medical and police reports. Realistically you are going to have to wait 21 to 24 months. IMMI have a huge backlog of applications to get through so the timescale is changing all the time. Keep an eye on this thread and you will see how Other applicants are progressing. our daughter lives in Mentone Bayside Melbourne but we will be heading down beyond Mornington as we like a quieter life and don't want to be anywhere near CBD. we are presently in Oz for a short break and have to say the weather is very cold, have been watching a bit of Wimbledon and having weather envy.

Whoopee! Whoopee! Petina. w e've been off line for the wedding and now catching up with updates. So great to see so many visas granted. We also enjoyed our champagne at the wedding, seriously bad hangover today and also feel a new hip coming on after cutting some seriously bad moves on the dance floor! Julie

Hi it's 10.00 am in Oz on the 1st July I'm sure IMMI must be doing it today! Julie
-
Hi Petina do you think they've reached their allocated number of visas for the year and they are getting everyone lined up for grant on 1st July? Julie

Hi Steve we're flying with Singapore Airlines with a 12 hour stop at the transit hotel at Changi airport. We're just not up to flying straight thro unless it's business class and don't want to spend money on that! it's a strange feeling putting the house on the market without having had a visa granted but don't want to hang around waiting for it to sell either. Good luck with your sale hopefully you will have a sold sign on soon. can't believe the test email still says 29 Aug, it's not been working for a while so I thought they would probably change the date. Got a sinking feeling that our applications are going to take 2 years! Anyway halfway there got to be on the downhill run! Julie

Thanks everyone for your best wishes for our daughter's wedding. taking the iPad with us so I'll be keying an eye on you all! Julie
-
Hi Joe well it's a year today that our application was lodged at PVC! I was sort of thinking that they might send me an anniversary card or a request for medicals but I'm also deluding myself!:chatterbox: anyway off to Oz on Saturday for the wedding next week, and then hopefully back to some requests for viewings - as you say Petina scary! Julie
-
Wow that's brilliant Petina, we have our Agent coming round tomorrow to complete all the property details so we have about 12 months to sell it before we probably get our visa. Julie
-
Hi we too have a NAB account which we opened in UK paid money in then activated it 12 months ago whilst we were in Oz. We have online banking with them which works really well so we pay money to whoever we want from OZ. Moneycorp pay our cash straight into NAB no fees! Couldn't be easier! Julie
-
Welcome Karen, we're off to Melbourne probably on the Mornington Peninsular. test e mail not working today so maybe they are updating the info, hopefully they' ve moved into September applications. Julie

Hi Maisie Apparently the industrial action is affecting Australian airports and visa units. They are on a go slow until the 26th June. Still looking on the positive side Petina has seen some progress this week so they haven't ground to a halt completely. :arghh: Julie
-
Hi Petina brilliant news, considering IMMI are on industrial action until 26 June. Looks like you will be getting your grant in this years allocation. The exit door of the waiting room will soon open for you! Keep us all posted of your progress of life in Oz! many congratulations. Julie
-
Take a look at today's exchange rate - wow! means a big price reduction in the 2nd vac fees for us all, more dollars for our pensions and more house for €'s. TEST email I still says 29 AUG for 143’s this morning! Ugh! i promised myself I wouldn't,t look at the TESt email until we got back from our daughters wedding early July. I'm like a moth to a flame! agent instructed on house sale it hits the market when we get back, that should take my mind off things! Julie
-
Hi welcome to the waiting room! We are almost 12 months into the process and not so patiently waiting for IMMI to advise us of the next stage, I don't think we will hear anything for quite some time yet. We are putting the house on the market at the beginning of July as we want to get on with things and it's something else to think about. best of luck and here's hoping they speed things up a bit. julie
-
Hi All in the waiting room today's Test email still showing 28 Aug for 143 offshore applications, however, they have added a few words.........this was a particularly busy month so the date will move slowly! Thank you IMMI for explaining! Hopefully September was a quiet month and they will sprint through to October! julie
-
Fingers crossed that you are now at the very top of the queue and about to make some space in the waiting room! Can't be long now. Julie
-
Hi Sadge Apparently it's Melburnians, we're off to the Mornington Peninsular how about you? Julie
-
Do you think IMMI knows where the fast forward button is? It would just be great to get back to the timescale of 18 months instead of the 21mths plus it's now looking like. Julie
-
Hi Petina Wow fantastic news at last something is happening for you! Hopefully you will get your grant quickly. Julie
-
Hi Joe Well I suppose the good news is that they sent a reply, what a pity it wasn't the one you wanted! Goodness knows how long it takes to get assessed. Julie
-
Hi Sadge you're just two days behind me in lodgement date so keep in touch. lets hope Mr Osbornes budget in July has some good news so that Petina and Vava can get their houses sold! Julie
-
Hi Steve hooray thanks for that! someone at IMMI must be reading this thread! Have a good weekend too. Julie
-
Hi Steve No I can't find anything either. I spent 30 mins yesterday skimming thro the Oz budget found the increases in visas charges but not much else. The document was hard work and I gave up. Someone somewhere knows the figures I guess we will have to wait for those too. We're busy getting the house ready to market when we get back from our daughter's wedding, it's never looked so nice. You know what it's like when you get all those "jobs" done that have been outstanding for ages! I must say putting the house on the market without progress news from IMMI is daunting but on the other hand it may well take ages to sell so we'll just have to see. Time to get back to the maintenance! Julie
-
And wait and wait...... According to the test email I got back last night, they are changing the email addresses for contacting the department from 1st July 15 this is to accomodate the integration of border control into the department. visas fees are up from 1st July 5 percent on 143’s, apparently this increase will pay the integration of border control into the IMMI I department - really? Still no update on the test email for 143’s, loads of info for 103/840! Julie
