Hi Phil Sounds hectic but good for you. We're in a rental so no issues there other than the removals and then cleaning it out, just hoping the continues to get stronger so that our money is worth more when we send it over. We'll all definitely need a pint when we get out there and I look forward to it, I bet Steely will be in on it too?! Enjoy tomorrow. Steve

I see you've gone Aussie already Maisie!! For what's it's worth, I recall reading that you do not have to have a visa "label" put in your passport nowadays but can do if you're willing to pay extra for it but I don't know what the benefits would be. All the very best Steve

We'd be interested, date time and location permitting.

Hi Welcome to the waiting room! If you look at the various contributors signatures on this thread you will see how we are all progressing. You can also email parents@immi.gov.au and enter "test" in the subject line and you'll get auto updates from immi and they are updated on a weekly basis, you can email every week or whenever you wish, if you don't get a reply they haven't updated the answer since you last had a reply. Today's update says they are taking up to 24 months to assess applications. Difficult to say how many rejections there are as that information doesn't seem to get posted very often. Good luck with your application and keep checking this thread as its a great source of information and comfort on the long road ahead. Steve

Can only suggest that you ring them if it's practical to do so. Have you checked that the payment has been cleared and do you have proof of posting and delivery. Best of luck Steve

Helpful of the website eh?! Not to worry as the e651 is usually granted immediately or within a few hours, so you have plenty of time mate. If you get really frustrated the ticket agents will do them for you. Cheers Steve

Hi Julie When we were booking our flights for July it was actually cheaper to get return tickets than one way. Also I'm under the impression that as we're entering on a tourist visa, even though we're waiting for PR, we have adhere by the tourist visa rules and to not have a return date three months after entry could cause issues - so we're going to play it safe. Good luck Steve

Buy Morning Very disappointing news and like you we'll have to go out on the e651 (which is free by the way and allows stays of up to 3 months each time and is valid for a year so plenty if time?) Bad day silly o'clock club members. Steve

Hi No the cpv 143 can only be applied for on paper and posted or sent by courier to the parent visa centre in Perth - you can't do it through the immi account. Good luck with it. Steve

Hi Alan We'll be in Joondalup to start with.
-
Brilliant news - so pleased for you!!
-
Hi Good luck I hope you get a positive reply. I reckon they'll say that due to unprecedented applications during May/June 2014 that progress will be slow for a while - I really hope that I'm wrong. We're fed up waiting so have booked flights for 19 July in the hope that our timing and everything else works out. All the best Steve

Trying to think of something polite to say about it, but I can't so I shall say nothing!!
-
Hi That's absolutely brilliant news, I'm so very pleased for you. And you're not rambling, your story will be an inspiration to us all. Very best of luck Steve
-
Hi Not far from us at all. We're going out for family and lifestyle and need to find some work.
-
How did you get hold of my medical records!!
-
Hi We're off to Perth. We're in Colchester, where are you? What visa are you waiting for and when did you lodge? Good luck Steve
-
Hi Glynis Thanks for the message. How's it going with your application? I often think about you. Best wishes Steve
-
Hi Julie and Alan I'm another member of the silly o`clock club - expensive subs eh?! No answers to the test emails for me either. Cheers Steve
-
Hi Julie Certainly no offence taken by me, I was just trying to put our frustrations into context with the bigger picture and hoped in a strange sort of way that we'd relax a little when we compare our position to others. On your other issue, can you not try for a holiday let over there to tide you over until your daughter is in her new home and your visa is granted? We're considering likewise once we're over there in July as it looks like we'll now lose our land we had on hold due to the delays in visa grant and we don't want to be under the feet of our son & DIL for too long - just a thought? All the best Steve

Yes I agree, I think we have to put our own frustrations into context with what Anzac Day means:- " ANZAC Day occurs on 25 April every year. On this day we honour all the men and women who have participated in wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations around the world, including the ANZACs (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) who fought at Gallipoli in Turkey during World War I. Incredibly, more than 100 years have passed since Australia’s involvement in the First World War" Sobering eh?! All the best Steve
