A chill passed over me and for a split second and I thought what the hell are we doing, :swoon:then the resident village gossip p:witch-irritated:assed by and tapped on my window, where the curtain had just been parted from me looking to see what the noise was about. As she peered in asking me “have you got your ticket now is this why your house is on the market” Oh hell yes!!:jiggy: you gossip, go spread the word quicker than the information super highway. :laugh: Just hope it is not a slow and pain filled sale.:huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ODIN20123 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 My agent was the same....I think they dont want the blame if anything goes wrong... I really wish I had gone it alone and not bothered with an agent as my case seems straight forward..... Oh well, you live and learn... I think it was a good decision to go without agent in our case. After doing lots of reading I found that the process was pretty straight forward. And we saved a considerable amount of money this way.... But I can imagine that there a complex cases where an agent might really be useful. BTW: How much does an average agent cost? Until now I only heard rumours that they charge something in between 1000 - 3000 USD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest waitingtogotooz Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Hi Tania, :biggrin:Yippee!!! Turn me purple! :biggrin: :jiggy:Our Visa was granted today! :jiggy: We got a direct grant without any case officer contact! Our CO Team was Team 7! It seems that it was a good idea to frontload really absolutely everything (PCCs, Meds, Form 80) + double and triple evidence for everything else.:wink: I actually could not really imagine what else they might request... :wub: @Blech: Now its your turn! Good Luck to all of you! I am hoping for lot´s of COs and Grants this week! CONGRATULATIONS :hug::hug::hug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Tania and Bpremji will be along shortly to get your details so you can add your full details and join us properly! We're also a gay couple (opposite sex than you pair I'm guessing going by your names!) and we're also upping and leaving and heading to Melbourne - not sure which part yet, but that's all part of the fun!! We applied on 14 June 2011 so not too much difference between us either. Feel free to drop me a message - only on for a quick five mins to get my daily fix of PiO and then we're heading out for dinner to celebrate our 12th anniversary - the past few weeks have been very eventful for us!!lol Good luck and welcome again!! :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dundeeboi82 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Well guys... We finally bit the bullet and told our bosses on Saturday of our plans!!! It went way better than I ever expected and whilst they are very sorry to see us go (we both work for same company, so it was a double whammy), they are also happy for us and completely understand why we're doing it. So now we're on the countdown for our last 8 weeks of work eeeeekkkkk :eek: House sale paperwork still going through, but fingers crossed there's no hurdles with it and then we move out the week after we leave our jobs....this is all becoming wayyyy to real now!! lol Off out now, but I'm sure I'll be back on later to get a second fix of favourite forum!!lol :tongue: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
