Guest Mike H Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Had a phone call from our agent yesterday to tell us that our visa's (skilled independant 136) have been granted. Applications recieved on 27 Feb & issued 12 May!!!!! Bit numb at the moment but both well chuffed (so is the dog!) Good luck to all of you still waiting.

We sent off to application to Adelaide on 29 March got acknowledgement on 11 April, just a waiting game now. Got our medicals (unrequested) booked for 14 June.

Guest Nelson Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I think there's much to be said for arranging medicals and getting police checks going unrequested... I almost wish we had, and we'd be in OZ by now. I insisted on following instructions to the letter but, it seems, if you are determined, you'll get there whatever, however. I am STILL waiting on police checks and the wait is unbearable. I want to kill the postman every time he comes late or empty handed!!! Poor man... With hind sight, I would probably have calculated when I wanted to leave U.K. and applied for police checks and medicals unrequested after 6 months regardless... :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I agree on the police check front ,we waited till requested and now im sat waiting ,what looks like going to be the full 40 days,wishing i hadnt listened to my other half at all. The meds wernt to bad only waited 10 days for an appointment and that was over easter, they will be in Oz now waiting for PC plod to stop playing hide & seek (did anyone see that programme),,anyway winge over and realisticaly i think i should have applied for them about 2month after submitting, but if PC plod is reading of course im only joking ,you do a very good job and i wouldnt want my forms to go missing now would i ?

Guest Mike H Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Thanks for your kind words. It's just starting to sink in. A chance for a brand new life in a beautiful place with the benefit of our own experiences to have learned from. We really do feel like we have been given a golden ticket. We know that it'll be hard work wherever we go, but we do that now! We're going to give it a go!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Est Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Hi Beki, we went to our local police station and they have the form (double sided a4 I think). Just told them it was for migration purposes. You need to take two forms of id one with a picture on it. It costs us £10 each cash. Kris is a mechanical engineer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
