Congratulations PanD!

[Guest Mikeslady]

It looks like everyone who applied in August got told 5-6 months, anyone who applied in September got told 6 months. I hope they don't keep increasing the timelines!!

[Guest sharonchef]

We applied September and got told 6 months it said not to expect a decision till march 2011, just out of curiosity has anyone ever been turned down for this visa and would they wait the full 6 months before telling you? We have been asked for further info (sent) and for the meds (done) and heard nothing more for a few weeks now

Still planning on going to Canberra? We'll prob go over there to visit family at some point but would rather 'settle' in Perth. :biggrin:

We logged our application on 6th August, front loaded my medicals and police report, although I thought my CRB was sufficient, we had to obtain the migration police report, and this was hand delivered 1 week later. No news since, and I was just wondering if there are any other lodgers in August of this year and whether you received a letter advising 5 to 6 months??

 

We haven't heard anything since, is the interviewing a random selection or do they do this will all applicants??

 

I must say the waiting is a killer, I know we are all waiting but I don't usual stress of things and I find this waiting is unbearable!!!

 

Cheers

Hi Nando,

 

We are also in the 5/6 month waiting range, having applied in August also.

[Guest rache&matt]

Hi,

I have just entered the waiting game with this and have been advised 5-6 months.

If my husband gets a good work opportunity he may go to Aus before me while I wait for visa to come through. If he does this will I be ok to visit on tourist visa while waiting to spouse visa to complete?

[Guest hels]

We are going to Perth prob feb/march tme, as we have stacks of friends there and a free place to live for 6 months, so it should all be pretty ok, next step sell house - which is half done already, pack up, ship and gooooooooooooo

[Guest rache&matt]

Congratulations on your visa completion, where in Perth you heading?

[Guest hels]

We have friends in Bibra lake and South lake, we will be based in bibra staying with mates then look to buy something after a few months once we have jobs etc

Prob start off looking in that area then look further out as times goes on, we can afford to take a while and be choosey which is nice, plus hoping the exchange rate gets abit better to trans our money over. Then start our life and see where it takes us

[Guest hels]

My CO was SV and she was awesome, very speedy with responses, lovely on the phone today, very helpful. We didnt need to send any more eviendence in or have a phone interview, the process was exceptionally easy, so glad we did it ourselves and they charged us the lower fee as my application landed there just a day or so before the price went up.

[emmaroo]

Congratulations Hels!

 

I am flying out to Perth on 5th Feb!

 

Good Luck

:smile:

[Guest christinenpete]

Congrats Hels, have fun celebrating and good luck with the move :biggrin:

[Bibbs]

Congrats Hels

 

I'll be sitting next to you on the flight

 

Lets get this house sold and get on the plane!

[TheOptimist]

I have got my visa! (subclass 309).

 

Wasn't expecting it for another couple of weeks, DIAC must be on fire!

 

Don't know what to do with myself - cry, dance, sing or drink (or perhaps all 4?!)
