MichelleH Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Hi everyone, how hapy are we today - we have just found out that our Vic SS has been granted. It's taken over 3 1/2 months (submitted 01/12/09), but we got there in the end. OH is a plumber. Our Agent has said that the DIAC should be recieving our Form 1100 soon. Not too sure how long everything else will now take - but it's definately a step in the right direction - I still can't stop shaking after hearing the news!!!:jiggy: Can I say a big thank you to everyone from PIO who I have been speaking to recently about all of this. Especially "Tom the Pom" for telling me to give our agent a kick in the *** - it seems to have worked. - THANK YOU.:hug: Good luck to everyone else and I'll keep you posted.

Guest ishtiaq Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I also got Victoria SS granted - it took a month or so I guess. I replied them "Thank You" and they took it as ACCEPTANCE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevenson Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Hi again, Michelle and Simon, It's great news, you should join everone on the 176 non csl -where are you now thread, you will get to see how things are progressing for others in the same situation, and any questions will be answered, as they are all really helpful. This must be a real load off your mind?, how did the agent react to a kick up the butt?. Have a good weekend Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichelleH Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 Hi Scott I was going to PM you on Friday, but ran out of time before I finished work, so thanks for replying to my thread. I was going to post on the 176 non-csl thread as well. You're right about the weight off our minds - we were all really happy to have finally heard. I think contacting our agent paid off, as they apparantly spent 3 1/2 hours trying to get through to the VIC SS department! Then low-and-behold, the next day, we get the SS approval! Sounds a bit like what happened to you!! Have you decided to go ahead and get your meds & police checks done? - I asked our agent about us going ahead and having it done, and she recommended that we didn't. Her reasons were the 12 month validity period and how un-known the timescale is as to when we will actually get a visa. Anyway, now it's back to more waiting - just in a different queue! Keep in touch, and thanks again. Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let them take the p!ss - It's amazing what a well placed size 11 (in my case) can do!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichelleH Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 Thanks Tom, Mine was only a size 4 though - but it did seem to do the trick! Now we've just got to sit and wait to be assigned a CO, and I have no idea how long that will take! Thanks again - and good luck to you.
