Thanks guys, really like the feel of mascot...we also visited Zetland and it's really nice too...but think we are going to have trouble in securing a place...one agent said that she wanted a copy of our bank statement showing the total in it....like hello!!

Hi all, we have just arrived in Sydney and are staying in Bondi Junction. We are looking at moving to either Mascot or Wolli Creek as husband has got work in Alexandria? We are a young couple not really into the party lifestyle so been super close to the city doesn't bother us. Can anyone give us some advise on either suburb?

Thanks

We would probly go into a private room for first week And then move into a dorm after that, i know a private room is going to be way more expensive!

Hi Guys,

I need some help! Myself and my husband are arriving in Sydney in April, we are looking for some advice on hostels for when we arrive, can anyone help us!:wink: I don't know what's the best thing to do for when we arrive in Sydney!! Is there anyone else in similar situation, emigrating as husband and wife! I travelled before to Australia but it was different then!!

Any advice would be great received!!

hea northshorepom, we both lived in Perth for a year and loved the laid back feel, been close to cafes and restaurants would be important too. A nightlife wouldn't been really important to us, boring I know!!

I've visited Sydney before and have stayed in the Surry Hills area which I really liked but I'm afraid that we wont be able to afford anything there. I will take a look at the that website and get a feel for some of the suburbs! I know its hard to decide or get a feel until you actually get there and explore a little.

Hi guys,

im looking for some advice, we are young couple arriving in Sydney in April from Dublin. We have no idea where to look for somewhere to rent. Budget would be 500/550$ per week, doesn't have to be very close to the CBD but train line would be benefit.

Any my advice would be help

thanks

lodged on the 22nd June- received grant this morning, so just over 12 weeks!!

Lodged 22nd June and finally I can say that we received our GRANT this morning!! truly over the moon!!

Hea everyone, any updates in late Jun/early July applications? We lodged the 22nd June, case officer assigned on the 12th August, nothing since!!'

Captain C, thank you for your reply!! I suppose im

just psyching myself out.. Will just have to hang in there!!

I don't think a drink driving offense will matter?! Mine is taking ages too! They requested payslips and now after reading others' posts I'm worried I haven't sent tax slips etc! Just want it granted

I think that i'm psyching myself out and thinking of things that could be wrong!! Maybe we are overthinking everything too much!!

Hea everyone, any updates from the june applicants... Its really dragging out now!! We applied the 22nd June..Co requested form 80 on the 12th August... And nothing since! Im starting to panic because my husband has a criminal record from the Uk, a drink driving offence from 10 years ago! Im panicking now that it will stand against us!!

I lodged the 190 on June 26th and visa was granted 20th August, I'm sure ur not far away if not already heard. Good luck

Congratulations!! This gives me hope..any day now!!

Same, if there's any consolation for me... it seems (by reading all others' projected processing times), that my grant (hopefully be a grant!!) will be around my birthday.

It would make one helluva epic birthday gift

that would be pretty epic birthday present!! Are you guys using an agent? We are using one,glad in one way but feel maybe we could have done it ourselves!!

If it makes you feel any better, you are not alone

 

(it doesn't make me feel any less impatient knowing others are also waiting haha)

 

This year flew up to this point, but now the calendar is standing still entirely... perhaps I shouldn't be staring at dates in it every other day

Im on edge Monday to Friday.... The wait is horrendous... As the weeks go by it seems to be getting worse!! I just reli hope it doesnt drag on for much longer, i know we cant so much about it but its still hard!!

Hi all, we lodged on the 22nd of June through an agent, got a request on the 12th August to submit a form 80..that was submitted on the 18th,,, haven't heard anything since...I am starting to panic now.. The wait and anxiety is beginning to take over!!!

Is there any idea of knowing how long it will take for any decision to be made!!

Hi guys,we lodged visa on the 22nd June. Our agent contacted us on the 12th August to submit form 80,

that was uploaded on the 18th... Haven't heard anything since!! The waiting is literally killing me...is great to hear how everyone else is gettin on...

Hi, I'm gona jump in here as well!! We lodged on the 19th June and have submitted all PCC and medicals... so we just wait!! is interesting to hear how everyone else is getting on!!:smile:
