Right. Well, we’ve organised a nice little place to stay in for the few weeks remaining, and have an option of three months should it be needed. It’ll serve nicely as a base for whatever excursions we plan. Fortunately, the international shippers have managed to squeeze us in on Thursday, despite the horribly short notice

Well, last night involved working out exactly what needed to be done. Todays tasks are to get Crown Relocations organised for next week to take the stuff we’re moving to Oz into storage. We need to sort out what we’re taking to a rented place. Realistically it’s only going to be what we can take

Our case officer has just approved us on our preliminary assessment and has requested we submit medical and police reports. Our medicals are taking place on Saturday, with the radiology appointments set up for the following wednesday.

Latest dates are in from DIMA in Adelaide. Applications lodged between 28th November and 5th December are currently being allocated. Not only is this us, but we’re also at the top of the pile. What this could mean is that things could now hurtle along at a brisk rate of knots, with medicals being requested

We gave Adelaide a sneaky call in the wee small hours and they confirmed that they’re currently processing the 20th of November, so it looks like the estimates are right.

Okay, because of the blogging software I used to use, the root directory of Nelefa.org is teeming with thousands of image files which, as well as making the site a pain in the neck to maintain, is offending my sense of order. So, I’m going to be deleting the whole lot and reuploading them via

Blimey! You’re a keen lot! Traffic does a little bit of a jump on Tuesdays – must be because it’s the only day I have anything to say! Anyway, applications for the Skilled Australian Sponsored visa subclass which were lodged between the 14th and 22nd of November are currently being allocated case officers. This means
