Default Priority 3 Applicants Club - We reunite in Australia

He-man... And the Master of the Universe!

I am Adam, Prince of Eternia, Defender of the Secrets of Castle Greyskull.
This is DIAC, my fearless friend

Fabulous, Job opportunities will be revealed to me the day I held aloft my magic sword (Resume+ VISA on Passport) and said: "By the Power of Greyskull!"

He-man, He-man...

I have the VISA power!
DIAC became the mighty BattleCat and I became He-man, the most powerful man in the Universe!

Only three others share this secret...
Our friends the Family , Expat members , and my Manager
Together we defend Castle Greyskull...

************************************************** *************

Dear Friends,
We have been granted visa today on 20th June 2011.
It was indeed a very beautiful surprise as we were not given any signs of CO allocation.
All these days we were quite nervous and tense and so decided to front load Medicals and PCC. The decision proved fruitful as we got a straight grant.
Thanks to all those extra pile of documentation we provided, it might have surely given a severe headache to the CO team verifying it.

At the EOD it's a sweet end to the Project - Aussie PR and we are moving ahead with a new challenge to ensure we have Job,funds all those things required to make a hassle free move.

We thank all the forum members who provided invaluable support both psychologically as well as technically which guided us in this complex visa filing process without an agent.
I am sure all those waiting for CO allocation will get the grant soon just like me and wish all of you a very very best luck !!!!!!!!

Lets continue this thread as a sequel to the most popular thread on this forum Priority 3 Applicants Club

Request you all to stay together and invite new joiners to this thread where we will discuss the events, issues, concerns and further topics like citizenship and all those things we would require there in OZ on landing.

Congrats!!! It gives me a glimmer of hope, but I just have a bad feeling about our application, it just feels that this will never happen to us. Maybe I'm just tired, who knows, lol. All the best and will hopefully see in Oz one day!

Congratulations Gaurav!

Your wife's PHQ efforts finally paid off!

Frontloading seems to be working, I will wait for another 2 weeks if the CO does not appear I will do the same too.

Wish you all the best, the forum you created has helped us alot, thank you!
