    No, your visa is linked to your passport and is automatically activated when you enter Australia. I’ve been here two weeks ^^

    Alas due to my job I require quite a few checks which can only be done in country, so agencies are keen but said they can’t do anything until I get them done.

    Hi all, I'm sure there will be a flurry of activity soon. It took a year to get my visa and it was deadly silent for nearly three months before, then there seemed to be several a day for weeks after. I was one of the last to get it amongst people who applied at the same time. As for me I have 8 days left in the UK, missus and daughter already in Sydney. I still need to get a bloody job. Fly out on the 23rd, have to be in country before end of the month. Good luck all.

    The baking thing ain’t so bad, try being rained on for weeks on end. Ha. Good news about the job, it’s one of my big worries but I’m sure it’ll be fine. I shall be in he same boat as you on regards to family, my partner is the Aussie. She starts work four days after arriving, I shall be pottering around until I sort something out. Lots to do before then though, the list is endless.

    Excellent news! How are are you finding the change? And was work difficult to obtain/accreditation? Daughter and missus fly out in five weeks, I join them five weeks later as I have to finish a work contract.

    Good luck all! I’ve finally booked my flights, partner going out early to take a govt job. I shall be heading to Sydney a month later, arrive end of July. Now to sort a job, as Sydney is not cheap!

    Good luck to those waiting for news. My move to Sydney is planned, July entry. Now but to do the million things needed to be done before we move.

    Congrats to all, seems like it’s been a flying week. Fingers crossed for the rest of you.
  9. SydneyBound
    Thanks for that, looks like I might have to go the long way around.

    Called them, they have no clue. Pfft... anyone know how to directly contact CO?
  11. SydneyBound
    Yay, an aussie number. Looks like I shall have to use the missus phone. She has reduced international calls.
  12. SydneyBound
    Grant email is auto response so not an option. There is a helpline?! Anyone got the number?
  13. SydneyBound
    I may have to do that, which is rubbish. Anyone know how to contact a CO?

    Let’s hope mine is the same, should be. We’ve been together nearly 4 years and have a daughter. Not sure what option is if they only give me 309z
  15. SydneyBound
    Hello all, Seems things are moving along. Some good news! I just recieved my 309, how long did you have to wait for notification of 100 after that? SB

    Congrats all those who have been granted! I seem to be all back of the bus at the moment, applied early June, two RFI and still waiting. I don’t know why the needed proof of my partners British citizenship, I’m the Brit, she’s the Aussie. That’s slowed us down it seems. I sent the info info last month and still heard nothing. No rhyme nor reason behind it all.

    Hi mate, congrats on the weight loss, though sucks about the diabetes! your wife will need a police check, it’s quick as the AFP seem to be switched on. In the end my partner opened her own immi account and completed the docs required through there, seemed to make it easier.

    Hi, declare it. Be honest, put it under corrections tab in account. If you don’t it will look pretty bad.

    And a single lonely bell tolled in the distance...

    What level of quotes were discussed? I’m not taking much, as we have a furnished apartment to move into to start off with. It’s more personal stuff, which would take up the space in the back of a transit van, but getting an idea of cost would be wise.
  21. SydneyBound
    Mine doesn’t have that sentence! I did both. Ha ha
  22. SydneyBound
    Were you asked to quote a name and position number?
  23. SydneyBound
    You’re in the same boat as I am, that’s a bit rubbish. By what method did you respond?
  24. SydneyBound
    When did you respond? I responded via email and got two emails in return, one saying they deleted the email without reading and one saying it would be processed. What the hell?! i also uploaded on immi and provided cover letter.
  25. SydneyBound
    Update: I had a second RFI and managed to get required info, I have been given a name and position number to respond to, but no clue how to do so. Do I respond to email? Do I upload, though the letter expressly says to that person quoting their details. The letter is so ambiguous! argh!!!
