We got our visa thro' in just under six months which I think is pretty fast. I am on the CSL (critical skills list) which is supposed to fast track you, so if on this list you may be ok in your time frame. We'll probably not go till Feb, as hubbie working till Nov, don't want to go just before Xmas, and their school term runs from Feb, so hopefully will all dovetail nicely. It gives me six months to organise my house full of stuff, and do all the bits & pieces required when moving a family of 4 half way round the world!!I know people who sold up etc and moved in with parents just waiting for visa, luckily theirs came thro' within the year which is standard, but I couldn't take that chance so that's why we sat tight until it came thro'. Either way, think of it as a stepping stone to your new life, a means to an end and not the be all and end all. Hope this helps!
PS I didn't use an agent, just ploughed thro' all the info on line.
