jvm Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 Thanks everyone for all your congrats! I just feel sick at the moment, think its just nerves as it actually real. Tracey we went ahead and got our meds and Police checks done of our own back as we thought it would save time with the visa office rather than waiting for them to ask. It would do no harm to get them done. Good luck to all those who are waiting, hopefully you won't have too much longer to wait! Valerie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the real work starts trying to get flights, accommodation and furniture shipped!! Valerie Wow congratulations! I'd love it if ours was as quick as that!! We applied online 12th Sept (only a month after you guys!!) We have had our medicals but not our police checks, might do them asap just incase!! Do you have job offer in Oz or anything else that may have speeded up your application? Nicola and Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvm Posted December 5, 2008 Author Share Posted December 5, 2008 Hi Just want to thank you all again for sending us congratulation messages!!! Its still sinking in here! But went ahead and booked our flights for the 28/02/09, 12 weeks to go!!! Nicola & Simon - we went ahead and got everthing done like meds, so that there was no requests sent from a CO when they were required. Don't know what made it go through so quick, don't have jobs or anything to go to but we were part of the Visa Connection fiasco! Erinfay - Did you get your passports sorted? Ours were sent today so am hoping they will be sent back quickly! Lizg - Would love to take you but sorry no room in any cases, there all accounted for!!! Where are you heading too? We're off to Melbourne. Valerie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
