Guest mandymoo Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Not happy bunnies!!!! We contacted the DIMIA last night asking for an update with our visa application. We sent it off in November and had the confirmation email on 18th Nov. Initially was told 4 months until medical & police check request as hubby is on the MODL. Anyway, they told us that they are currently working on visa applications received in Sept/Oct and we have been told that we will not hear anything for another 6 weeks!!!! Just hope job offer remains as we thought that we should be out there in June - how wrong we could be eh!!!!! Guess the waiting goes on!!!!!

Don't know who you spoke to Mandy but I lodged my visa 7th November (processed by region 3 dept) did my medicals unrequested 12th January and sent my PCC's in February and my visa was granted 8th March.

Guest wfourie Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Mandy this is the timeline for non modl so I would call again and check if your app is being processed as modl or non modl I can understand your frustration we are non modl and the waiting is very tedious!

Guest Neil Meadowcroft Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 How di, Think they may have given you incorrect information. We received e-mail from Duty Officer at Adelaide about 3 weeks back confirming that NON MODL where upto 7th October. It all depends on who you speak to, and to be honest what mode they are in. I found that when i called they were very curt. Didnt mind taking my money some 8 month back and still not got anything in return.... Apart from all the sleepless nights and ringing Adelaide at silly times in the morning. Chin up not long now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How come, I found it was better to ring between @10.30pm as they are just opening for business and you don't wait ages on hold. Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Neil Meadowcroft Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Maybe it's just me but i like an early night. I thought that they are open from 09.00-16.00. 10.30pm over here is 08.00am in Adelaide is it not?. I thought that they are 9.5hrs ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I remember is ringing them at 10.30 at night in February and getting through to someone really quickly. Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pasty Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Hi Mandymoo We applied 5th December MODL and we got asked to go for medicals on 31st March. Visa was granted 11th May. You might want to speak to them again. Also might want to chase job offer to see if they will hold on for you Jackie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mandymoo Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Hi guys, I'm not too sure whats happened here, but I posted this at the beginning of March - just to update you all, we had our request for medicals and police checks about a week later and the visa's were issued last week!!! Just in the process of trying to sell the house, so fingers crossed, should be in Oz about August time. Thanks for all your replies.

Guest Alison1967 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Hi Alison/Neil, To try and clear up the clocks confusion, Adelaide are currently 8:30 in front of us. However, in February, before our clocks went forward and before their clocks went back, they were 10:30 in front of us. Hence 22:30 in the UK was 09:00 in Adelaide. Clear as mud?
