[Guest wardy]

Neither can I its a pain

[Guest Ron & Chel]

wow that was quick did you do your own application or use an agent

[Guest Gollywobbler]

I've resorted to a glass of wine (or 3) to try to encourage a desire for sleep....

 

Might just go to bed and read for a while. That usually helps.

 

Cheers

I can't sleep but for different reasons than you, we arrived here in melbourne on sunday and i cant get into the sleeping patterns here, i am still stuck in uk time zone body:skeptical:

 

Anyway congratulations on the visa approval and hurry here and start living the dream its lovely

[Guest mandy&Jem]

hope every one managed to get some kip last night...lol...

 

Ron and Chel, it was only quick because it is a temporary student visa lasting four years and was all done online, you are not allowed to apply until 124 days before your course starts......actually because of medical problems it wasnt as quick as it ccould of been, didnt leave much time to sort flights ect out. I didnt use an agent. Im sure four years will go quickly and when i graduate i could then be sent back Engalnd when my visa expires..... so i then have to go through a much longer process, of waiting like you guys, for a another visa, sponsered skilled or similar.

 

This visa option was a last resort for me to attempt to immigrate and was my only option i had of attempting to get into oz...... as i am 45 years old and will be past the age limit when i qualify.....I know that at the momment there are exceptions on certain skilled jobs that they will ignore the age limit....The job i am training for is one of them....I hope this is still the case in four years time.....lol....not looking forward to the stress of all this again....lol

Hi

 

When we moved over here in June it took us a few days to get our body clocks on Oz time, we were going to bed at 9pm & wide awake at 4am! :SLEEP:It's probably not helping that we're on daylight savings so instead of loads of dark mornings & nights it lighter! Hope you get on Oz time soon. :spinny:

Hi Gail

 

Then there's the loss of appetite, think we were having one meal a day for about 4 days, which was mosly subways at lunchtime! Sounds like you're getting there, plus you've got such good weather in Melbourne at mo unlike up here in Sydney roll on the proper summer weather!!! The first few weeks over here are always hard especially trying to get all the paperwork sorted for tfn, bank accounts etc so if you need any advice let me know.

 

Have a good weekend & a great 1st Aussie Xmas & New Year enjoy the Aussie wine!:goofy:
