Hi Jennifer, you could try writing to Julia gillard, it may have some effect. I was struggling to get a visa in 2002. An Aussie friend of mine had worked with Phillip Ruddock the immigration minister at the time. We arranged to have dinner with him…
Well, I havent been on the site for some time now... mainly due to the fact that myself and family have given up all hope of having our visa granted... 2 years today we submitted our 176 and still we are waiting!! Our agents no longer keep in touch…
Hi Nicola
We found ourselves in the same position as yourselves back in 2007. My first bit of advice would be get a good agent and to put your application in at the very earliest possibility. My husband is bricklayer and it took a year to get every…
I feel your pain,im a carpenter lodged visa at the start of 2009 promised by agent id be in oz in 6 months...but just left in the dark like everyone else
Sorry to hear about this Jennifer. We're hoping that some good news will filter through regarding processing times soon - on fact one of our agents was told that DIAC expect processing times to be significantly quicker - around 12 months in fact - t…
Well I havent been on the site for a while - given up all hope of getting our visa until at least 2012! This is the timescale being suggested on the frequently asked questions of the australian governments website! Lost £1000 with our medicals and p…
Hi there, I would give them a ring. That's what we did and low and behold the visas were granted almost immediately. Go Matilda should be able to give you the phone number but if you can't get it email me and I will rake it out. cushtymebabe@hotmail…
Thanks Julie - yes we were upset and very frustrated by the news but to be honest we have gotten use to receiving bad news about the process rather than good news over the last year! it is really frustrating knowing that we have wasted over £900 wit…
Luck will certainly be needed for anyone not on CSL - we are now 12 months from application - chest x-rays done on 12th Sept following advice from agents and now been told they have no idea when we are likely to get looked at let alone recieve appro…
You are certainly not alone - we placed our application in July 2008 - our agents advised us to have medicals and police checks etc - which we duly did by end of December - we were told by our agent in January 09 that we should hear any day now - ho…
Hi Julie - yes quite spooky with the similarities! yes, Mark (hubby) had to go to Rochdale for Vetasses in Feb last year - we stayed overnight and then he spent the day in college - like you say - he had to show he could build a wall and chimney sta…
Hi Julie - thanks for your message. We are being sponsored by uncle because we were short of the 120 points (had 110 and hubby - who is British) failed IELTS test by 1.5 points! which meant we had to get a sponsor - we were in category 3 - like all…

clutching at straws!!!!
Well, I havent been on the site for some time now... mainly due to the fact that myself and family have given up all hope of having our visa granted... 2 years today we submitted our 176 and still we are waiting!! Our agents no longer keep in touch (they have had our money so I am sure we are a forgotten cause!) my endless emails to them are just met with statements that they do not know and therefore cannot comment on when we may get granted a visa... so we are left in the dark. However one gli… Continue

Lodged visa July 2008 - told any day now in Jan 09, then told in March 09 by our agents (Go Matilda) that changes were being made and we wouldnt hear til July 2009 - when I contacted them in July they advised no… Continue
