    hey guys! I just got back from my 3 days offshore in Bali :-) had the BEST time. I had literally been in the country for 6 hrs when I got the email to say I was granted the 100 subclass WOOOOOHOOOO. I got the email as soon as London was awake on Monday. So soo happy...cant believe I am now here in OZ properly and can finally look for a job! It's soo frustrating when you hear nothing for months and you feel like your whole life is on hold...don't lose hope peeps. Anyway now *normal life can resume* good luck everyone on your visa journeys :-)

BizLarker I agree with pcbh I think your grant will come in the next few weeks!

    Just said i have to leave 3 working days. ..ive emailed to clarify so i'll let u know!
  16. newbie121
    No thanks for saying I should check that before booking. Can anyone clarify that? Do the travel day's count if you go in the morning and back in the evening of the 3'rd day?
  17. newbie121
    yeah it is! do the days I travel not count?
  18. newbie121
    Indonesia looks cheap for monday return on wednesday. Going to book tonight, email her my travel plans so hopefully she will pick up her email in London (Wednesday) and I'll hear either tomorrow or Friday from her confirming that that's ok. And I will be off!
  19. newbie121
    Nope I don't think so...um well I'm not sure.
  20. newbie121
    oh yeah you are right..sorry should of put WHV..save for visa...apply onshore...get bridging while wait! That's what I wished id done. Cos at least you could say you came to OZ on WHV to see if you liked the country first before applying for a partner visa
  21. newbie121
    Yep definitely the longest most stressful process I've been through!! With plenty of mistakes along the way....massive learning experience. Mind you there's not many of us who will have ever done it before! Lots of planning and It can still throw things at you that you weren't expecting. But that's life I guess. I came out here on a tourist 4 months into the whole thing. Some people are lucky if they are able to stay in the UK while waiting. But those that have to make the decision whether to either do the long distance thing or travel with the partner is a hard choice. Neither are easy (from what I can see) both have difficulty's. I think it's different for each couple. For anyone reading this thread that's trying to make that decision my advice is....If you know before you lodge the application that one of you has to come out. If your under 30 Id recommend the WHV and then apply onshore. I know it's a more expensive visa but by having working rights I think you'll make up the difference.That's what I wished Id done. I came out on a tourist and flew to NZ after three months. Financially It's been more difficult than I though. But you make the best decision you can at the time and then you just have to roll with it and make sure you tell your CO. Good Luck

    you too Chirobarn!! Good luck with the move and Best wishes with your new life
  23. newbie121
    Chirobarn that FANTASTIC news!!! I just checked my email too )))))))))))) say's ready to depart Australia for my visa to be granted woohoooooo So soo happy I cant stop smiling. Its been a such a long stressful 5 months here in OZ not being able to work. I am soo relieved its over. I was prepared to get on a plane today haha...but it says in the email that I have to let her know my travel plans (and get a confirmation email she has revived it) before I leave the country for 3 working days. As London is asleep now it will be Monday. Going to spend the rest of the day looking at cheap flights for Monday eeek how exciting May applicants and early June....you must be soo close now..next few weeks!!
  24. newbie121
    Me tooooo!! Im seriously checking constantly. I'm really hoping for the next couple of weeks. Next week we hit 8 months...soo close! I'm really not sure...where ever is cheapest to be honest! Sooo looking forward to properly settling in How about you??
