So you make the payment, and then post the 1134 to the state then? Shame
it can't all be done online.

Hopefully that shouldn't take too long then. I'll be looking out for
your visa grant thread.

Hi wmoore,

Just sent you a PM

I guess at some point they'll put it online but not yet. Yes I posted
the 1134 back to the state (after getting HIFX to sort the actual
payment out). I also faxed the form to WATC before I posted it - not
sure if it speeds anything out but nothing to lose :)

WATC then fills in the rest of the form and sends it to Adelaide, back
to the CO.

I very much hope to be posting a Got It before the end of this week :)

I hope to see you posting a "got it" soon as well, although, being
pesimistic, I reckon next week, but that's just me. ;)

Don't say that! I want to fly next week :(

For months I've had 8th July pencilled in as my date so I wouldn't want
a minor thing like the lack of a visa hold that up.

woops. Did I say next week. Must be this keyboard. Should have read this
week. (That any better?) ;)

We want to fly first week in September and I'm still not confident of
getting the visa grant by then. Once again though, just me. Been waiting
too long to expect anything to happen quickly... :)
