Must be unreal to finally get it, after all the hassle.. Our CO has finally changed the status of our relationship proof to "met" - yeah!! Now just need to wait for the PC and the meds to clear and for me to pass that IELTS test on the 13.08!! Hoping to be in OZ by Nov the latest!!

Guest thekelbos Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Just to add that we got our visa today, WOOHOO WE GOT IT!!!!On holiday in Turkey, thought I'd check my email and there it was, our visa letter!! Lots of celebrating tonight. Speak to you all next week Mandi xxx Well we emailed are poolice checks over to CO on Saturday after OH meds finalised on Thursday and guess what- we have a visa!!!!!:wink: Omg omg omg it's here wOw wow. Hi All,Its definitely a very good news, I have got my 176 visa approved today.... yahooo.... yahooo.... Hi Gang just to let you know we got our Visa Grant this morning!:biglaugh: Havent been on in a while just a quick update we got our visa on 1/8/11 and accepted an offer on house so everything going so fast. Congrats to everyone who got visa through CONGRATULATIONS EVERYBODY!!!!!!!:jiggy: Are you not on perm visa no? Why the return ticket hedging ur bets r ya! :laugh: We're booking returns too! Firstly its cheaper than a one way ticket and secondly they have a 12mth valid date so OH cousin gets married August 2012 so we'll use it to come back. Then we'll book another return ticket whilst over (or before we come if we can) as my sister then gets married August 2013! Also its cheaper to book return flights to Oz from the UK than return tickets from Oz to the UK apparently! So thats our holidays sorted for the next 2 years!!! :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone briefly explain about the differences in price, is it worth paying more, and where do they get sent to, the agent, or straight to the CO? Sorry for niavity. Am not totally sure why we are using an agent, as always like to get things in sorted in my own head! Guess I hadn't found PIO at the point of organsing agent.Thanks in Advance, Donna x Hi Donna im like you! i can never wait for agent to inform us of next step - im always researching/organising!!:wub: we sent off for r police checks on 19th July, we paid for 10day service and havent received them yet! :policeman:we did get an email last week to say they got our request!

I spent a few months in Greece so i know what you mean!! its a slow pace of life alright :SLEEP: have you started looking into requesting them?! Yep, the website has alot to be desired! There is no actual address to send the request to, sent an e.mail to them about a week ago, and had no reply. My husband is working down in Colchester for a few weeks, so am going to call the consulate tomorrow to see if they can do them for us. Our friend did one about a year and a half ago, and was told to stick twenty euros in the envelope. He thought that he would never see it, but about four weeks later it arrived!
