Sorry Dougans don't understand??

Sorry Dougans don't understand??

 

:laugh: Let me help... they are further down the queue than us but they were requested to send further documents in on 19/05/09... and their agent sent them off on the 01/06/09 (today i presume)...

 

Although I am very bemused as to why they got their request for further documents before some of us others... I reckon there is some bribery going on somewhere and I want to know what trick you used Dougans!!! :biglaugh:

[Guest Mike&lou]

Hi there everyone, tght i would post on this thread as i am also waiting to hear from queensland about state sponsorship...hope you all hear somehing soon..as i am hoping i hear something soon

[Guest Mike&lou]

so frustrating trying to get through to see whts going on with ss

[Guest Lyndhurst]

still nothing from us this AM. 10 weeks +1 day and counting

[Guest Sandisonsonthemove]

Hi all

 

Haven't been on for a few days and thought that some movement might have happened in terms of some of you getting your letters through. Really disappointed to see that no-one has and of course this will set peoples minds wondering why.

 

Not sure where I read it (could have been on here) but it seems that the states may change their most wanted lists in June/July time. Does anyone think that perhaps they are holding on to applications pending these changes and will make changes retrospective? :mad:

 

Really worrying if that is the case but I am a worrier and the worst case scenario is my way :wacko:

 

Has anybody tried contacting Qld to check where they are in the queue? Is this even possible? Was wondering whether it was worth trying to stay awake tonight to give them a call. I know we are a lot further down the line than many people on here but it must be worth a shot!!

Donna,

 

You are not alone here! From one worrier to another!:sad:

 

We are near the bottom of the queue and I find it quite concerning that people who applied back in March are still waiting for SS.

 

Looking at the timeline, it looks like the last Qld SS was issued to Nini 12/5/09. I wonder if anyone else not on the list could let us know if they have had their Qld SS granted more recently.

Hi Mandy

 

we are the next in line after Nini and we have not got ours yet. we have had a req for further docs, almost 2 weeks ago and sent them the day after, but still no news.

 

this seems to be the same for all of us.... im with you worrying... seems they have come to a stop.

 

cheryl :unsure:

[Taz2008]

I know I should not be suggesting this as QLD are obviously very busy, but I feel that as we are all worrying about the same thing and getting very impatient now... has anyone of you guys at the top of the queue thought about phoning them to find out if the documents you have sent are ok and if they are waiting for anything else???!!! and then while you are there ask how much longer the wait will be for you as its over the 10wk mark... bla bla bla...

 

Its a bit of a cheeky ask, and can understand if you don't want to and If I was further up the queue I would never dream of suggesting this to any of you as I would do it myself, but nothing ventured nothing gained!!!

 

If I am being too cheeky in my suggestion here you have every right to tell me to bog off and I wont be offended:yes: much LOL!!! (only joking!)

 

So to whomever is the bravest... :wubclub:

yes your right i got requested to send further docs and i had to then get them together and yes agent got them to ss 1st june. maybe we getting asked as we have already had meds and police checks done and everything ready to go as we had 175 previously lodged i dont know? do we even know if getting asked for extra docs is a good thing? could be a bad thing?

 

ok ill tell you i bribed them lol i wish i could:idea:

[Guest southerngent]

Perhaps when they ask for futher info it is a code for send us $100 bucks in the post and were give u what u want...

 

I wonder if they take paypal

[Guest southerngent]

:eek:Well, so I emailed Qld for an update.

 

 

Dear Mr XXXXX,

 

 

 

Thank you for your e-mail. Your application is currently in a queue waiting for assessment. Should any further information be required we shall contact you direct.

 

 

 

Kind regards,

 

 

 

 

So there we have it guys ( n girlys), there not giving away any secrets there are they......:skeptical:

Nice try though...:notworthy: and thanks...

 

 

Unfortuantely, I dont think they will commit anything to an email or in writing. I think the best thing would be for someone to actually call

their office.

 

 

I am sure they would be more forthcoming on the phone as it is more difficult to avoid answering the questions put to them.

 

 

My 10wks will be up on 12th June and can assure you I will be on the phone to them if I have not heard anything before then. :yes:

 

 

Lets hope something happens this week and they start giving out the SS again, although I am not holding my breath! lol

 

 

We still have not had an email requesting further information...

 

I still think, personally, they are stalling until the end of June when there are going to be some changes made!!! I obviously don't know this for sure, but its a feeling I am getting! Worrying!!!

 

 

Anyway, keep your chins up QLD'er peeps... Good things come to those who wait, so they say... LOL

 

(I am out to the beach today as the kids are off and the weather is too lovely, so will update the list later with any updates! Sorry for slacking LOL!)

[Guest Dionne and Rickie]

OOh Tasha hope you had a lovely day at the beach my two are off tomorrow so i may venture to Southend.

 

Well everyone we still havn't had email requiring any more info and we will be 10 weeks on the 8th June and we WILL be on the phone to them not waiting for our agent to do it lol as soon as that week passes.

Fingers crossed to us all

xxxxxx

[Guest KellyandTom]

I notice you are not on our list, so have now added you... Welcome to our queue.

 

Good luck and lets hope its not too much longer now.

 

Can I ask if they have requested any further information from you?

 

 

Tasha :wubclub:

Hi Tasha

 

Thanks for adding us to the list. Yes we had a request for further info & sent that back. Has been just over a week since they received the extra info - our agent emailed it over & got confirmation that it was received ok. Still waiting - must be any day now! But, wont hold back on telling people when we do finally hear!

Yeah... you're sooo funny... I walked straight into that one! LOL:wub:

 

You think I need a glass of wine to chill, well I think i need a crate of wine more like! lmao!!!:goofy:

OK... I have reluctantly added your details to the first page!

 

:skeptical: I'm so not jealous... now thats you and the Dougans who have had a request for more information.... Wheres ours!!! Ok... I admit it I am very jealous now...

 

Joking aside, at least they have been in contact with you and not left you for the 8-10wks like some of us others, perhaps I am just being too cynical about what the delay is. It could be that there are two piles and our application is in the pile where the person has gone on a three week holiday! lol

 

Well done and best of luck!

 

Tasha :wubclub:

[Guest Lyndhurst]

can you share the crate... lol i think i need it toooooooo:cute:

 

our agent has called Qld and they have said our case is with the director, but wouldnt give a time scale for it to be looked at ... but at least we know it has moved on..

 

it may be a good sign you have not been asked for any docs, you may just get the grant,, i hope so

fingers crossed for everyone.. will let you know as soon as we hear:smile:
