Good luck!

Congratulations Fred, and good luck Joe

Thanks! I sure will! It shouldn't be too long for you now!

Thanks! All the best for you too!

Good luck Fred! Joe

Thanks! I fly out a week on Monday! Can't wait! It's been a long time coming!

Visa granted!!!!

Ahh, hope it comes through for both! If it doesn't would you go alone?

Hi Have you preloaded any documents like police check and medicals? When are you hoping to go? How many people are on your application?

Hi! I personally didn't upload the form 80, it is my understanding that it's not always required. And given that they haven't asked for it, it's not been required in my case, so far. You can preload this online as far as I'm aware, I just couldn't deal with the hassle!

Congratulations Chris! Best of look out there!

That's good! I preloaded mine so I wouldn't have to wait.

Yes the query on dates was the first time they contacted me. When was your first point of contact?

The northern beaches are all pretty nice too. I wish I could do that. Every email on my phone is being checked frantically! Too many adverts being recieved at the moment off various company's! I'm currently at work in a kitchen. So not seen too much sun saying that it is raining now!

I bought my surfboard in manly! Typical tourist thing to do I know, not even bothered! It's a lovely area of Sydney and the beach is fantastic. The ferry across the harbour from circular quay is pretty special too! Good luck! Now just need to hurry up and get my visa granted too!

That's excellent news! Congratulations guys! Good luck job hunting and settling down! Where are you looking to move to?

I hope so. As far as I'm aware it does, there was a query they asked about some dates, but it was just a typo. I'd already done my police checks and medical. As I understand it once you've done these everything should be in order!

Whaattttt? That's awful! Whys it taken so long? I'm nervous now!

Just recieved this from the CO You have provided all of the necessary information and so it should not be too much longer before your decision comes through now. EXCITING TIMES

I lodged on 6th May. I don't know which team Ive been allocated, I didn't ask. Does anyone know how long it takes from being assigned a CO? Thanks

Got an email this morning from my migration agent confirming that I have been assigned a case officer. Excited is an understatement!!!

Hi Matt, I've got my TRA skills assessment for a chef too. Mine came through in February. In terms of what you need, I needed all my pay slips an p60's of the last 5 years. You need references from all your places if work, these are quite in depth, requiring you to list all the jobs you do regularly. You need all the paperwork you have from college. Certificates and reports. It's a difficult process but if you need help just let me know! Feel free to message me and I'll send you some of my copies of what I sent. Good luck Joe

Yeah I sure hope so! I'm going out alone, but know people out there because of a previous WHV. I've already got a car out there and most things sorted so it's just going to be booking a flight for ASAP and I'll be off!!!

Thanks that's really helpful! You're trying not to think about it, It's all I can think about! I've now done my police checks and medical. Thanks for the advice regarding those!

Has anybody who applied in May heard anything yet?
