Hi All

 

Pouring down as I type this and windy and Antiques Roadshows on! Blooby hell if I close my eyes it could be a Sunday evening in the UK all IT needs now is Heartbeat and we're there.

 

Had email off Carl (yorkshireclan) he's had no luck with house sale and has dropped price by £15 000. One party want to buy but are in a nightmare of a chain and he is about to be interviewed for the full time position of the job he's been doing partime. Says he's fed up with the cold and the snow and his girls keep asking when are they moving to Australia? Carl would have posted this himself but he's got computer trouble and is not allowed to go on pio at work. Here hoping he'll be here soon.

 

Luv Lance

 

Thanks for the update lance, i wondered what had happened to Carl, Nive weather Eh!

HI fellow Qld peeps

 

Well done Tasha and thank you for the new thread. It is good to see that everyone has finally achieved SS. Now for the (hopefully not too long) wait for case officer.

 

It is weird but some mornings when I get to work I check my 100s of junk email just in case that email is there from DIAC. Not sure what I will do the day that arrives :swoon:

 

Where do we all live in the UK? Would it be possible for us to arrange a meet somewhere on a weekend that is fairly central for most and have lunch or whatever. I think it would be really good to get together and break the ice before we all get to Oz. What do you think?

 

Keep smiling everyone our time will come soon enough.

As it happens - we're arranged a meet-up in Manchester for the 7th March, with people travelling from Liverpool and Birmingham (hopefully!). It may be a a little short notice for you, but you're more than welcome to come along. Check out the Socialising and Get Togethers Forum.

Hi all

 

You would not believe the rain we're getting. I was up at five for work this morning, boss rang at quarter pass to say we've been rained off again. Not worked now for a week!! Not good. We've had heavy non stop rain all day today.

 

Anyway not to worry our stuff from England arrived today so been unpacking that today. Its great too see all your stuff and the girls now have a bed each. I've got me dvds, cds, stero and above all my fishing gear so I can go out and catch dinner now. Also I have a playstation 3 I've just unpacked going to need it with all this bloody rain.

Hi Jason, yes we did celebrate, out for a meal and a few drinks, but had to work on Sunday so had to be sensible. Did you enjoy yourselves? yes it does feel ages ago and feel now that we have joined another even longer queue. Paul is working away during the week at the moment which gives me more free time for PIO, been trying to work out when we should get our visa's, but think I've got more chance of winning the lottery. Still hoping to be out there by the end of the year though! how about you?:yes:Lesley

Hi Lance

 

Poor poor you... celery in your salad and lots and lots of rain! What is the world coming too:laugh:.

 

However, sounds like the rain has come at the right time now your stuff has arrived from the UK! Give you a chance to sort it all out! Hope it clears up for you soon though and you can get back to work!

 

Hope you and family are keeping well,

Hey guys it looks like Q/L have taken away all building trades as i can not see them on the Q/L gov site??

 

this will not affect us as us lot have already lodged thank god

 

Proview

 

Hi Alan

 

Did QLD not take off all the trades at the end of June? I thought they did?

 

Shame they have not put them back on again! Not sure if this is a good sign for the SMP list that will be out for the new immigration year!

tasha do you think this may have been done to come inside with the new ss migration plan, for them who are already in the system, DIAC must know how many people they have in the pipe line that have already lodged, not sure just guess work really

I really don't know! I am hoping that they will process the cat 5 peeps now and hopefully have them done and dusted before the new immigration year starts, so they are ready to implement the new SMP! Perhaps that is just wishful thinking though!

do you mean all cat 5 or only the ones pr- Sept23rd, do we know how many cat 5 in total??

 

this visa think is wearing me thin as it gets to me when other people have started after me and you, they have their visa now all because they are on CSL, have you any idea why we are all in this situation, is it because of the climate, are DIAC just behind with the massive intake over the last few yr, when my mate went over 6 yr ago he was in within 10mth start to finish, he keeps on saying to me why take so long.

Think the sun may be heading your way tommorow, this is our second day of sunshine, three days is too much to hope for, but it is lovely to take the dogs for a walk without them coming back covered in mud, then they wait till they get back home and shake all over the hallway:no:Must love them though cos it's going to cost £6-7000 to take them with us to Oz. Can't wait for summer to come, I think winter is so depressing, want to get myself ready for all the hot weather over there.:wink:Lesley

No I am hoping for all Cat 5 peeps - but like I say - that is probably wishful thinking on my part! No-one knows... we just have to sit tight and see what the Cat 5 thread shows us... At least we will know eventually if they decided to process applications post Sept by watching that thread!

I was having a bad day the other day... things are looking slightly brighter today! Lets hope it stays that way! xxx

 

It rain ALL day in Brissy!!!! They are talking about record rainfalls etc!!!!! You aren't missing much by not being here right now!!

 

Love

Hi Rudi

 

Have you any flooding with all that rain?

 

We have suffered badly in France too with lots and lots of rain and winds. All stopped now thank goodness, but its been so bad that quite a few people have died with these bad storms. Very sad. The worst France has seen in a long time apparently. Luckily we were not hit too bad in our area though!

 

To be honest Catherine i would give my arm to be there now lol

 

Al

 

Who's Catherine?

 

 

PMSL :biglaugh:.... oh dear poor David... I mean Alan... or is it George?!?!?! :biglaugh: I think you are losing the plot!!!!

Hi Lesley, yes i had a really good night thanks, good job i didn't have to work on the sunday!! Yeah the next queue is a tad big :mad:

I would love to be on my way now if i had my visa but i would make do with the end of the year, wishfull thinking maybe but we have to be positive :wink:

Have you checked your online application with DIAC yet to see if they have added your 1100 form..??

 

Maybe someone can help please, does DIAC change your online application once they receive the 1100 form from Qld..?? if so how long does it take..?? I have checked mine & theres been no change since i applied for my 175 in may..

 

Thanks Jason
