Hi, We are shipping our items over and then going to follow later on a flight. The idea is to get there shortly before the stuff arrives, rent a house and then the kids will have all their things around them which might help them settle better. The problem is we have been told 6 weeks and everyone I have told has laughed and said more like 10 - 12. Can anyone advise us on their shipping exp. Thanks

Just interested to hear from anyone to give me an idea of how long we can expect the visa to take for non-CSL (IT), particularly 176, visa for WA. We've allocated 2 years and just wondered if this is realistic. Thanks

How do you know when your medical has arrived in Sydney and how long does it take?
Middlecat posted a topic in Visa Chat
Hi all, I've been having a look around the forums but haven't quite managed to find the answer and even if I have missed it, it might be worth having a recent update. We've submitted our medicals today and the panel doc indicated that he will be couriering them tomorrow. Question is: How do we know when they have arrived? - Does it appear online? How long is it currently taking to process the meds once they've arrived? Also, the doc referred me to a hospital to review my chest xray as there was a note from the radiographer saying that there might be a small nodule on one of the lungs. NO sign of TB at all which I've heard is the big thing. The hospital did further xrays etc and have confirmed that it it absolutely nothing and the xray is completely clear. This lettered has been included in the medical to be sent to Sydney. Is this likely to result in a referred medical? If so how long does this then take? Final question - We were given a CO on 25/2/09. All our docs have been changed to met when checking online except police check and medicals. Police check was uploaded today and medicals are discussed above. Am I being optimstic to think it might only be a few weeks away? It's a 175 visa on CSL (Pharmacist). Thanks very much for your continued help on here. I spend far too much time on here mooching about and absolutely love it! Cheers, Dean -
I have a CSL application, since Sep 2009, it has been under internal check, just wondering if someone went thru this, how long does it take.

If an ENS visa is classed as priority 1, then why is the waiting time 6-8 months!!! Unless your in Oz, what employer is going to employ you blind and then wait upto 8 months for you to be able to enter the country. I thought the minister wanted the visas to be on a demand basis and was pro ENS. Come on, I have been an employer and there is no way I would wait that long, they have a business to run. Totally disillusioned with the whole process. cheers caz

how long after medical does it take till panel doc sends them to your CO
Guest posted a topic in Visa Chat
HI, my patner and children had there medicals done 2 weeks ago in london. Just wondering how long it takes for the panel doctor to send them to our CO at Oz house. We have not heard anything in 2 weeks since medicals were done so just wondering what is happening??? Also when my partner lodgedher aplication, we recieved a email about 4 days later from our CO saying he was looking after our case. About 4 days later she recieved some of our docs that we sent in with her application, like evidence of our relationship (our bank statements, proof of out defactop relationship, cards that were given to us for our engagement etc) but there was no letter attached mentioning why they sent them back to her. Is this a good thing or a bad thing???? cheers -

I've just been reading through some threads regarding rentals in Australia and how long it takes to secure something long term once youve arrived. As i understand its different depending where your based. We have booked a couple of weeks in short term holiday accomodation at the end of this month, hoping we will be able to get something long term in that time frame. After reading some threads i'm concerned it may not be as simple/quick as i thought. Does anyone know how long it usually takes to get something secured in the Sunshine Coast? we do have references and copies of bank statements etc, we will be based in the Maroochydore/Alexandra headland area. Advice appreciated! thanks

I am currently working hard to find employer sponsorship in WA. Let's get ahead of ourselves and imagine I am successful in finding a sponsor :jiggy: What timescales would I expect to face for the visa process? Would I still need my skills assessed, and if so would you recommend I have my skills assessed up front? Thanks everyone for any advice / support.

I was just wondering from the people that brought their cats over from the UK-how long were your cats in quarantine for? I know its 30 days minimum but I don't think I could bear it if mine were in there for a silly amount of months. Ive read through a few threads and it seems most of you had yours out by a month but I also saw someone say 4 months!! I just cant bear to leave my two behind

I'm getting really impatient now :arghh: I've been waiting 6 weeks for my enhanced one to come back!!! On their website it says it aims to get 90% of them back within 4 weeks, oh lucky me I'm in the 10%, and I've never been in trouble with the police!!! GRR. I'm just having a little rant because although it's nothing to do with visa's I want to start this new job! How long did it take for yours to come back?? And was it a normal or enhanced check?? I want some reassurance :twitcy:

How long can we leave our money in the UK once we have moved to OZ?
Guest posted a topic in Money Transfer: Ask Moneycorp
We are hoping to be in Oz at the end of July - we have quite a lot of equity in our house and would like to leave this money (approx £110 000) in the UK until the exchange rate rises to at least two dollars to the pound? How long can we leave it here for? Will we be penalised by taxes etc if we dont take it immediately? Jo -
We landed in Oz 1 week ago with our 9 month old baby. I'm wanting 'hope' stories here as we seem to be really struggling with her sleep pattern. She goes to bed at 7.30ish only to wake an hour later and be up until at least 2.30am. When she wakes she screams, we pick her up then she's wide awake and happy as Larry. I'm so sleep deprived and jet lagged too! We've tried taking out one of her two naps during the day, tried putting her to bed later, tried the controlled crying and usually as the last resort end up putting her in bed with us. It's really affecting my energy, all I want to do is sleep and feel until my fatigue dissapears I won't be able to start enjoying Australian life. Can anyone share their experiences? How long did it take for you until your baby went down at bed time and stayed down! I'm really tearing my hair out!:arghh: thanks Amy

UK- Australia Long distance relationship, is it impossible?
Englishlover posted a topic in Aussie Chat
He is in UK. I am in Australia. We have not met for 1.5 years. This is because he would like to sell the old house and buy the new one before the next meeting. At the moment , the buyer has agreed to buy his house. However, the process is quite slow now. We are not sure when we can meet again. He also has fear of flying phobia. Therefore, it is harder. Have you ever had long distance relationship with the partner in UK. Do you think it is gonna work?
