The Temple of Bague Wasting bandwidth since 1997 - Now in our 27th wasteful year!

I’m not sure I understand these dates at all. I guess they’re just a broad guideline – although these look fine, it appears the processing window has only moved forward three days at the front and one at the end, which is very slow progress. Still, it does seem to leap forward a fortnight every

There’s no good reason for this post, I’m just showing afriend how WordPress works.

It’s smaller, it’s lighter, it’s possible to hold for long periods of time without catching gamer-claw, it looks beautiful – not a million miles away from an iBook – the displays are brighter than the sun, and I love it to death. Yup – it’s birthday time, nelefans, and this year I have a nice

Now this is a bit more like it. I think we can expect to be allocated a case officer in the next week or two. So at least we’re getting somewhere. I’m sure the Australian government make the migration process deliberately painful to cut down on timewasters I wish the same could be done with

Anyone would think we never actually do anything cos the only time I ever post on here is about video games. Fair enough, we don’t do an awful lot, granted, but we do occasionally do some stuff that involves actually being outside and things. For example: This weekend, we mainly worked on the garden. Our

Ok, so those counters at the top of the page there are quite scary. Over a year since starting out and almost seven months since actually lodging the application. What this means, in real terms, is that we’re only a couple of weeks away from a decision being made, one way or the other. Sure,

It’s not the dates I was expecting :-/ Of course, it’s the number of applications being processed that matters and not the dates – for all I know, 90% of Novembers applications went in on the 1st. Anyway, at least they’re now allocating applications lodged in our month so that’s a definite milestone. The main

Everything seems to be going as expected – I think the speed increase towards the end of October is caused by the bulk of applications being made at the end of summer after the DIMIA’s big migration push on TV. Well, we’ll wait and see. This means that our month should begin processing next week

Apparently – 17-21st October are being processed as we speak. We’re 28th November. The rate seems to be 2 weeks processed per week, if that makes any sense. Anyway, we were down in Northampton at the weekend – our sponsors are over for a few weeks and, given that they’ve come all the way round

Alledgedly, the DIMIA are processing non-priority applications lodged between 10th and 17th October. I think it’s safe to assume we’ll have heard from a case officer before the end of June – probably in the next two weeks. The interminable waiting is just horrible – we have the points, we have the skills and the
