pradiprn Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Hi ya,how are you feeling? has it sunk in yet? :biggrin: grumpy? i think we are too far gone, down the insanity, pulling our hair out road for that emotion :laugh: Sunk in?? dont know about that but i booked my tickets today! landing in Perth on 24th June. So now there's a bunch of stuff to take care of and a road trip to do to say farewell to the family and friends. Terrified and excited in equal measure about sums up my situation at the moment!

pradiprn Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Since the projected outcome is guaranteed (Knock on Wood) - the probability of it will be 1, which raised to the power of 4 is also 1 - Add in your favorite number for compound interest and simply divide the result from the previous post ... Damn it, jasperyogi. You messed up my train of thought to crack the code that is 'DIAC processing times' :laugh: Man what is it with your PCCs? How long do you have to wait? or is it one of those multiple countries business thats holding it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aituhin Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Hi all,Newbie to the forum here. I started reading this thread after a google search last weekend when a case officer was assigned and requested Meds and AFP Check (21/4). I had been planning to do these next month - I just wasnt expecting to hear from a case officer so soon as I'm not a 176 - I'm a 175 and applied only December 2011. I'm a Team 4-er, and I can only say from what I've read here and also the fact that I have a CO after such a short time (ok so I am biased), that they must be a tremendous team and doing really great work. Is it ok if I join you all on this thread? I'm hoping that now that CO is assigned, there is not going to be much difference in processing time for my 175 as opposed to 176... in which case I may only be a very short time away from grant (or rather pre-grant in my case as I'm in Melbourne). The only things requested by CO were AFP Check and Meds; online status shows everything else as "met" including character/penal clearance (overseas police cert had been previously uploaded). I did the meds on 24/4, and sent my AFP Application by express post 23/4, so I'm really hoping that both come back soon and that I see the medicals go to 'finalised' and the AFP NPC go to 'met'. The early CO assignment really knocked me.. I have heaps of work to do and also 2 exams to prepare for (heaps of reading), but now all I can think about is visa grant and having PR, so now addicted to checking the 'online status' on DIAC to see if medicals received (not yet), reading the updates on this thread to see how everyone else is progressing, checking Qantas for my possible travel dates for a hop to NZ when pre-grant comes (thankfully no visa required for visit to NZ - as on waiver list) and I'll also be checking the postbox every morning for the AFP cert (even though the AFP website says 15 working days). Not sure whether I'm supposed to be wishing you all to get your grants tomorrow or not - the jinx / reverse-jinx so maybe I can avoid the jinx issue by just saying that I hope all in this thread have an exceptionally great day tomorrow. You will get all Cat-4 applicants are at here http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/138985-new-cat-4-july-1st-2011-part-3-a-200.html Also a good database at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqEBgay7xfFvdEpQS2NMbTItV1o5bTctcE4wa1pVWHc#gid=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasperyogi Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 morning everyone guess what........ We have been granted our visas!!!!! keeping everything crossed that the rest of our march family get their grants really soon, off now to tell the children :laugh: xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leanie Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 try this one http://www.homeaway.com.au for short term rental....which places are you looking at for rentals? Thanks for the links. We will be looking wherever there is work, waiting for the agency to call back to confirm the areas. Just want to be reasonably close to the sea, and a good sized garden essential with 2 dogs and 2 kids. you see normal rents per week for around $350, when it comes to short term it seems to be around the $600 mark. ouch. My doctor gave me the courier tracking number for our meds. It was delivered this morning. I wonder when it will show online that it has been received. Has anyone had their meds sent by mail? Nothing has changed on my checklist other than further processing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
