Guest waitingtogotooz Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Hi Eng32, Have you read your emails our fantastic agent is buggering off to Perth on Monday :no:and not returning till 5th Dec.:chatterbox: He had better be checking his emails during that time.:skeptical: would have been nice to have a bit of notice so we could get him to chase the email he sent to processing team over 2 weeks ago. God I paid this bloke money...... But I guess that is his way.:arghh::arghh: Just sent him an email thanking him for the notice,:sad: Isn't there anyone else that can help you? If my agent isn't there a coworker will take over. Hope this is the same for you xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lori2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Glad you got to keep your dignity. I honestly felt there was no need for me to have to take my trousers off, fair enough my top. I only had leggings on so they could have been rolled down so that the doc could feel my tummy I hope your medical was ok though and you dont have to go back! One of my familys medicals has been referred which we knew about and mine isnt finalised until my urine sample checked at lab which I was told I would get a phone call yesterday if anything was wrong which I didnt so hoping that means its ok and results now sent to DIAC. It was not necessary for him to make you take off your pants!!! The meds dont include legs check! Dont worry, you wont see him again. Remember australia is going to be the prize ;P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest waitingtogotooz Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Does anyone have any advice about taking a car? Is it worth selling our one and buying out there (although I hear it's expensive to buy). Is it expensive to get a bigger container for the car to import and fees etc?

Is it expensive to get a bigger container for the car to import and fees etc? We was thinking of possibly taking the car in the early days, but all the information and posts i have read on this subject, it seems it's not worth the hassle or the expense, we won't be shipping a car over.

We have been getting visa grants but no CO's so lets hope its because they are already looking at others files and they just haven't made contact, lets try keep positive :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rahulpatel1969 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 We are cat 4 and being processed at pace also cat 3 is cleared. Normal pace would be 8-10 weeks per fortnight so that all cat 4 get COs by Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taniaholmes Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Normal pace would be 8-10 weeks per fortnight so that all cat 4 get COs by Jan Cat 4 are not far of being done as you can see from the front page they are already working on April and May, June is the biggest month for applicants applying but after that their are not as many applicants lodging applications because of the changes, we are seeing lots of visa grants and co's being allocated that but what do you mean by backlog for cat 3 as I see it their isn't one as they are being allocated CO within a month or 2 of lodging.

taniaholmes Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 what i meant was all those cat 5s who got kicked up to cat 3 because of the state lists being changed Yes but I think they cleared most of those already and we have seen plenty of movement on cat 4 I don't think things are slow and I don't think it will be long before they get to cat 5 hopefully start of next year.
