Hello everyone, Just after some advice, coming to Melbourne soon, we've never been before and looking to stop somewhere within the city, where is the best place to stop to explore the different areas tourist sites? we have looked at Southbank but most of the hotels want to charge for breakfast and parking, for the kind of prices there asking you'd expect parking and breakfast to be included. We will be driving so can move around easily, happy to eat out for a full English breakfast if available : ) Thanks in advance : )

Hi Captain C - Thanks for the info that's great : )

Does anyone know if you get your visa granted faster if you apply after doing Skills select 189 EOI we've been invited to apply in Nov 15 my partner has 75 points, all docs uploaded 26/12/15 including Acro checks and Medicals just completed. Also if your visa is granted (I guess by email) can you fly out straight away and validate it? Thanks

Hi thanks for this info, we looked on the Immi site and it says not to organise your medical if you've already submitted your paper work and to wait for a CO? Anyone know what's best? I know under the section of uploaded documents we have a ? where the medical should be, I'm assuming when you do have them this section is for the declaration form and the rest gets sent on from the place where your medical is done?

Thanks Skyba

Hi mgeaves, thanks for that we will look into it : )
