Guest Woody Posted December 12, 2007 Posted December 12, 2007 Hey :yes: We got our visa on Friday morning but we've been away so haven't been able to post. It's such a surreal moment when that GOLDEN email is staring back at you. I had to read it about 3 times before i could say to my wife " we have our visa" It all happened in a bizzare kind of way. I read on here a few weeks ago that somebody had worked lined up in Perth and their employer had managed to expedite their visa because they needed them out in January. I am in the same position.I have work lined up in Sydney and they want me out in January. So i called the guy who's providing work for me who ,luckily happens to be a friend and asked if he could call the DIAC and see what he could do. Well he spoke to someone last Thursday and they said they would get back to him.Which they didn't. Then he phoned again Friday and was on hold for 45 mins! so he emailed me to say no luck as yet but would try again soon. I picked this email up 5.30am, as my lovely daughter had woken me up! Went back to sleep,alarm went off at 6.30.Checked again and there it was!!!:shocked: It's too freaky to be a coincidence i think. I don't post on here loads but i've received lots of great advise and i like to think that i've given some good advise out too! Cheers to everyone who's helped us and good luck to all who are still waiting. I'll keep poping on now and again to see if i can help anyone but for now there is a lot of stuff to be done! We plan to fly 28th Jan. Paul

Guest Gollywobbler Posted December 12, 2007 Posted December 12, 2007 Hi Paul EXCELLENT NEWS!!!! Fom your timeline with your Meds, it looks like the LCU are really getting on top of the backlog as well. Now you can have a wonderfully relaxing Christmas & New Year till the final push starts before you fly out to Sydney. Do keep in touch once you are settled in Sydney, wont you?

Guest wendy&co Posted December 13, 2007 Posted December 13, 2007 Hey :yes:I read on here a few weeks ago that somebody had worked lined up in Perth and their employer had managed to expedite their visa because they needed them out in January. I am in the same position. Hi Paul That was me! We're still waiting for our visa, but hoping it's any day now... Our medicals weren't posted until 15th November and I'm hoping that the medicals and visa application will finally tie up very soon!! Anyway, BIG congratulations and all the very best for the move. I can't imagine what it must feel like to get that email - it must be the best thing ever... :jiggy: Wendy x

Guest Woody Posted December 14, 2007 Posted December 14, 2007 Hey guys, i'm a bit overwhelmed to say the least! I haven't been on for a few days and now i look and i have 17 replies! I'm constantly seeing others getting congrats and stuff but until it happens to you- wow ! What a nice bunch you are - Cheers! Wendy , hope you get your visa for Xmas and good luck in Perth,it's a lovely place. Wiggly, can't believe you're in Churchdown,my sister lives there also. I'm in Longlevens and we're renting our house out for at least the first 2 years. You never know what can happen,we want to be 100% before we totally sell up. We've even lived out there before for a year back in 2000,and travelled there twice on holiday. It's just makes it easier also to get your head around the whole move knowing we have a safety net. I'm sure we'll be fine though as we have a good handfull of freinds in Sydney. Good luck in Jan, where are you heading? Cheers Paul
