hgaroosi Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Hi RitaE,Firstly Congrats for your Visa. Hopefully you will have a great night.You mentioned you made a complain and after that you got your visa. Could you please let me know how you made complaint?I sent an email with complaint couple of time to my case officer team and I got same reply every time which mentioned we are trying our best to process your application as soon as possible.Do you have specific email address or link to make complaint?Thanks for your advise in advance Harry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaE Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Hi Harry, Sorry if I made you miss understood me.What I ment by complaning was, that my family and friends have to listen to me wining about this waiting process.This morning I was chatting with a friend and while I was typing about my frustration, the agent phoned me.Best call ever. And we had such a good agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Really happy for all those who have recently been granted visas. It is the last (and biggest) step in the visa process, which seems like it will never end!!! .... But it is unfortunately not the last step in getting over to Oz. Good luck with all the planning, packing and travelling still to come It is such an awesome feeling knowing that you can now officially move to your new home!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
