Thanks for visiting!
24 September Got visa now validatingWell after getting our visa's granted on the 25th July, 2008 - 6months 1 day after we applied online, we are now going to validate. We've booked a month off and we're hiring a motorhome to do a bit of sightseeing and most of all fact finding mission.
We're starting off in Adelaide, travelling along the Great Ocean Road , passing through Geelong and into Melbourne. Catching the overnight Spirit of Tasmania ferry to Devonport, Tasmania and then driving down to Hobart. After spending about a week there we'll catch a flight from Hobart to Melbourne and then on to London.......and I can't wait. !!!!
I had looked into accommodation for us but it was a nightmare trying to find places that could take all six of us and it actually worked out more expensive than hiring a motorhome.
After we get back we will make the ulimate decision on whether Australia is for us and if we do think it is we'll try everything in our power to make it happen, but as to when....what with the current housing climate and everything else who know's. If we can afford it we'll rent the house out and go over, rent a house over there until things are better here, or alternatively win the lottery, rob a bank...the ideas are endless.
Take care all who read this, my next posting will be all about our trip, so brace yourselves,
Love always,

Hi all, I'm now on bebo...... 15 June Med'sMed's were finalised on the 26th May, 2008 two days after our wedding anniversary. YIPPEE!!!!!
Now we wait again, we've done everything even signed the The Australian Value Statement before it was asked for. Apparently, immigration has reached their quota for this year which is why alot of people haven't heard anything about their's however, the good news is the immigration's new year begins the 1st July, so there should be a flurry of new visa's being handed out and hopefully our's will be one of them.
Cheers for now,
Helenx
08 May Med's sentWell I can now report, thank god, that our med's were finally sent off today 8/5/08.
I can't beive it's been nearly six weeks that we went to the clinic. It took 2 weeks to get blood tests done and..... I can't write this but ******* doctor finally gave me printout to take to panel doctor of mine and sons bloods test etc. No wonder my blood pressures up !!!!
Anyway we now have to wait for them to be finalised and hopefully, soon , get our CO or if we are lucky go straight to Visa Granted .....cor look at that pig fly !!
Will let you guys know how we do.
Cheers,
Helenx
08 April Medicals done but.....Well we finally had our medical's done on the 27th march, 2008. Hubby ok, eldest son ok, youngest daughter ok, eldest daughter has to go back and redo urine test (female thing! highly inconventient) and see physio about her back problem.....funny thing is we saw our doctor on the 9th Jan, and yet the physio man has not received a referrel letter from him, our doc is so forgetful it's a joke. She's now booked in to see him on the 17th April. Have to get a report from him to say what's wrong with her etc so I can give it to the panel doctor. Then there's youngest son, he's got protein in his urine, so had to spend a urther £60 to have a sample of his blood and urine sent to lab, now he has to see our doc for further tests, then there's me. Ok slightly over weight but who isn't these days, still trying to burn off baby fat. My blood pressure was up, which is not like me at all, she found it to be 170/95, apparantly it needs to be 140/90 max for the medicals. So I had to go and see my doc about this and also she thought I had a heart murmer. I know I'm getting old, but going through this visa lark it's enough to drive anyone insane let alone raise your blood pressure and everything else !! So saw my doc who redid PB 145/80 borderline he said, so he's also booked me for a cholesterol test. Now I did try and point out to him that all I needed from him was a letter confirming what my current BP reading was and whether he concured with the panel doctor that I did indeed have a heart murmer, he said I did but it was not significant, however he wants to go through all the other tests before he writes the bloody letter, god only knows how long that's going to take,, at this rate it will be next year before we get out visa's. Anyway will keep you informed as time progresses and hopefully someone will read my rant, even ifto say ...poor cow!! lol xx |
