Hi Jags1209, Welcome to our little group!

Fingers crossed your visa will arrive soon! The whole waiting game is so frustrating and stressful.

Once you have the grants though...?:smile:

Congratulations RHB! Good luck with the planning and the move!

Thank You Anuhit. Fingers crossed for all of you.

It is our day today! Woo hoo! Looks like the SA 489s are trickling through now, so good luck to everyone else waiting.

Fantastic news persianharry! Congratulations! Now you can start organising the move. :cool:

Hi Patphillips47, I am on that forum yes. I know what youean, we have just booked our boy's flight and the thought of him flying alone makes us all anxious. We are probably flying at the end of March. All excited, although still a lot to sort out.

Thank You RHB. Hope you won't have to wait much longer!!!

Congratulations! Well done, and hope everything goes well for you from now on. Are you hoping to move soon or do you have property to sell etc.?

We are hoping to move within the next 6 weeks. House sold, just moved out last week. Waiting for the dog's flight date to be confirmed and then finally we can book our flights. Exciting times!

Hopefully we all get a chance to get together once all of the group members are in SA.

Hey Guys, today is our day, we have our visa granted, finally. It's been a long wait,but it has been so worth it. We are over the moon happy!!! I hope this is the start for everyone waiting finally receiving the grant!!!! :wink:

:sad: No news yet, unfortunately. We are soooo ready to go now. All we need is our visa. Let's hope things start moving for us 489-ers next week.

Gosh, 5 months!!! Let's hope you get some good news soon RHB.

Have you tried contacting them to find out why it's taking this long?

We are planning to move to Adelaide, preferably near a beach. The waiting is a killer, yes. I'm not sure about the processing times, it's really hard to gage. Some are being processed really quickly but generally they tend to keep to the proposed processing times, at least so we were told by our agent.

The group sounds a good idea, hopefully have a few more members joining in and sharing their experience.

Thank you.

Hi @persianharry, yes I am on PomsInAdelaide,too.

Where in SA are you planning to settle? When did you lodge your visa application?

We've been waiting for over 3 months now, hopefully it's going to be our turn this week!

I'd also like to know if any of you have got your visa yet. We were allocated CO in November 2015, but didn't complete medicals until 20th January 2016 so we are a little bit behind everyone else that has posted here. If anyone has got their visa could they share how long you have to validate as I had heard that the start date was taken from the medical date?

 

Thanks.

No visa for us yet. Just waiting patiently...:smile:

Anyone had any news at all this week?

Hi BruceandLeanne, we are using Thames Migration, they are great! ☺

Hello All, we are in the same boat,too. CO was allocated on 20/11/15 requesting checks and additional forms. All completed and submitted by 7th December. Waiting patiently (most of the days;-)).

Fingers crossed we hear something in the next couple of days.☺
