  1. Not only waiting for case officer, which will happen when it happens, but fed up with no responses from anyone in Oz who I email not bothering to reply, these include but not limited to Estate Agents, Driving Instructors, Private health Care Providers, does no one want our business!! (Mild rant over!) :biglaugh:
  2. Great update, many thanks we fly out on 1st June, so a great insight for us, keep enjoying, and good luck!
  3. As I sit here in the waiting room, I came across the following picture, and thought I'd share it........ I am sure we all know how big Australia is, but when I saw this, it made me realise I don't know just how BIG!
  4. Hi @Sadge, me neither, I just googled and copy n pasted the one above
  5. Sounds good to us! We travel out on 1st June, initially staying in Lockridge, it would be good to put some faces to names.
  6. Cheers, not seen in written like that previously, thought we had forgotten something :wink:
  7. Thanks for the heads up Bev, at least we have something to plan whilst twiddling our thumbs in the waiting room!
  8. Not technically true, as we have to work in Oz, but my wife Karen, today handed in her notice after 28years with the same employer! BIG step taken.
  9. Life is sweet!!!! [h=1]Login[/h][h=1]Information[/h] UNPLANNED OUTAGEWe are currently experiencing technical issues and clients are not currently able to submit visa or citizenship applications, nor will they be able to attach documents to existing applications.VEVO is currently affected by the same issue and will not provide visa or work entitlement information.

  10. Hi Steve, do you have a web link to the e651 visa please? I can only find sites asking for cash? Thanks
  11. Hi Julie, when we booked our tickets, it was cheaper to buy return tickets, so although we hope we wont have to use them, we do have return flights booked for sometime in August. We decided to leave in a bit of comfort, so we our going business class, although the return tickets are for economy. Happy to put you in contact with the company we bought from if travelling business class?
  12. Morning Julie, totally agree regards all the disappointing news, but at least we can by e-visitor visas now, knowing we actually do need them, and not just spending out for the Plan B - Security Blanket! We thought you had to go offshore for at least 7 days, so a grain of good news from within IMMI's message, we only have to go for 5 days. So happy heads back on, where shall we go! Singapore? NZ? China, already feeling better thinking about where to go!
  13. Morning all, we just had our reply, which is along the same lines as @Skeelsy. It is what it is, so we will sit here a little longer, and sometime soon our turn will come I'm sure. Brave faces everyone! As your lodgement date is 30/05/2014 and we are currently assessing applications lodged up to 6 May 2014 it is very unlikely that your application will be finalised by 31 May 2016. There were a very large number of applications lodged between those two dates and as a result processing time is now up to 24 months.
  14. Last update was they are processing 6th May 2014 applications. This is a useful forum for 143 visa that you will get useful information from too http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/77756-brand-new-pio-parents-visa-thread-1066.html
  15. Feeling your pain! We fly into Perth 5 weeks today, so it's very unlikely we will have our visa by then, so started to look at options for going 'offshore'. I have emailed them asking what the chances are of being granted before our flights, but think deep down we know the answer. Stay strong! Incidentally, have you been using the e-visa for visitors? Reckon we need them now :confused:
  16. Lets hope this trend continues, still some way to get bak to Aus$2+ per £1 but better than this time last week! [h=3]Latest Exchange Rates: 1 British Pound Sterling = 1.91720 Australian Dollar[/h]
  17. I'm not sure if this might seem a bit presumptive to ask, thats why I was wondering if anyone else has, and what response they got.
