I think since deciding to move to Australia I have experienced some of the worst depression in my life. Far too many ups and downs. Hopefully it will all be over soon. The SMP is the biggest key for me, and once I know whats happening with that, I will feel much better about making plans for the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time we're given dates for news and you build up your hopes they seem to be dashed every time, frustrating. Think I have now resigned myself that it will be another year, not this one and can I be bothered:arghh: Do you think this mood is contageous, CHIN UP, Lesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gary12 Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 It is hard when it's your dream and just when you think you are there things change. My advice is not to put your life on hold whilst waiting. So many of us do and miss out on things. For us it was silly things like not decorating etc in the house which we ended up having to get done after we left in order to rent the house so we didn't get the benefit yet still had to pay. Holidays, day trips etc not done in order to save for the move. Do something nice over the bank holiday weekend leave all thoughts of the visa behind and then come next week that positive thinking will be back. best of luck Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasalcedo Posted April 30, 2010 Share Posted April 30, 2010 I haven't lost mine. After being dumped by the Australian government, (Pre-Sept 2007 applicant) I decided not to make part of this joke anymore and applied for a Canada permanent visa. Just on Thursday my full application reached the Canadian Consulate in Sydney NSW. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickyc88 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 You're a long way into the journey now, but I can imagine the frustration after a year of waiting. It is so hard having life on hold and everyone has ups and downs about it. I've made a list of things I want to do before I leave the UK and started trying to do some of them - just silly stuff like visiting the Eden Project, going to see various old friends. I'm trying not to spend cash doing it, but it does take my mind off the wait. I'll probably get shouted at for saying this, but the other thing is to take some time out from PIO so that you can get a mental break from it all. Enjoy your bank holiday weekend and hope you feel back on form soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon Kelly keep your chin up:hug: it's not at all like you!! you are always so positive on here for everyone! just hang in there...great things come to those who wait! & wait lol This process is so unfair i know exactly where you are coming from we have laughed & cried all the way through this process...even thrown in the towel a couple of times...then picked it back up because we have come to far to fail! but so i have been told once you get to the end of the journey it is so so worth all the blood sweat & tears! so to return the favour if you need any of us we are all here for you!

It is hard to keep positive, and it's difficult to remain positive 24/7, but when you're feeling down about things, just think of the future and how the wait will be worth it in the end and don't give up. Giving up is for losers!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHANO7 Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Hi Kelly I echo what everyone else say. Keep your head up and yes maybe take a break from PIO . I did for a little while as it does get very frustrating. My agent told me to keep off the forum but to be honest I think you find out info quicker on here from Gill and Alan Collett etc. My wife said to me yesterday that I looked down and didn't seem positive about Oz anymore. I reminded her that I want to take our family there for a better life and if it means we have to wait a little longer than we will wait. We all have our own reasons for choosing down under and we must remember them and that should be enough to get us through. Its a big move although very frustrating but talking to people on PIO knowing we are on the same ride and the majority of the time making light of the situation helps us muddle along. So lets all keep smiling , chatting and dreaming :wink: Shane x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AussieNic Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I have been in your boat, cried, screamed, given in (for about 12 minutes), fought and cried some more. Waiting is the worst bit but all I can say (for myself and my family) the wait was worth it. I say you can only experience true joy after great sorrow. Good luck and keep your pecker up. :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest clivenbev Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Hi Kelly, we know exactly how you feel. We had our 175 visa loadged in Feb 09. We then applied for SS with QLD in April 09. We were told that processing times for this were about 8-10 weeks. We received our SS in Jan 2010 after waiting 32 weeks. We were so excited when we started this journey and up to a point things were going great then 23/9 happened. Well what can I say ! We feel so depressed and frusterated. The thing is there are thousands of other people in the same boat as us. One of the best things I've done is join PiO because you can talk to others who are in the same situation. Keep your chin up and keep focused thats what we are trying to do. Bev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really do feel for you and wish I could help make it better. I wonder if the DIAC realise what us PIO's go through?? Please keep smiling don't let it ruin your dream xx Feel the same as you, but just keep telling myself it'll be so worth it when it finally does happen. xx :hug::hug::hug: BIG HUGE HUGS xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
