Hey Jess. Like you, I used to visit this forum daily, but now it doesn't quite feel the same, and I'm sure you understand :) I DO pop by occasionally, although I can't look at the 2014 winners...

Batotr, please start a brand new thread. This discussion is regarding another matter entirely, and you may get a better response if you start a new one of your own, not ask an unrelated question on...

If only there was a system in place for all those visas granted to people who did it "on a lark, as a joke, half seriously, to see what happened, don't want it now" to be put back into the pool and...

So hard to stay away :) Just popping on to see how everyone is 'landing' - either from their cloud 9 or literally in the US!

I have had my head well and truly in visa websites today (oh ok, I...

To all the new Aussie winners, hang on for the ride!! A huge congratulations to you all :) The folks on here who have won and are in the process of moving over will be a huge help to you - any...

Neither myself or my husband were selected.

All the best.

Oh and I loved Vancouver. All his family are there. Damn snow; he has been spoilt living in California for 14 years lol.

Yep - it's 9:35. I will see if I stay up or not, I have a bit day at uni tomorrow. Thing is, I probably won't sleep. That, or I will wake up at 2 anyway :)

So glad you don't have to go through...

Sigh....I wish I could have Canada as a plan B, but my Canadian husband says it is too cold to go back!! :D

Thanks Jess. I suspect I will still be up at my midnight (Perth time) as there is no way I can sleep. Mind you, I remember last year too when the site crashed for a few hours. You never know, I...

Princedriss, your post and wishes have made me smile right now, at a time when my nerves are on overdrive and my emotions are so mixed! So many who get selected and win forget those of us still...

You are too early. It won't accept it because it has the numbers 2014 in it, and the current checking is still for 2013. You have about 7 hours and 15 minutes to go :)

Q

I have my head buried in an anatomy text book right now....and every 15 minutes or so my mind is back in the Bay area (hubby works for a silicon valley firm). Homework effort = 2, Daydreaming = 10...

Thanks Burundi. Were you a first timer when you won?

Q

I know how you feel Sukie - I've been trying to wear my 'big girl undies' all day and convince myself that there will be two unsuccessful messages when I check our results. Deep inside though (ok,...

It's 2pm 1 May here right now and I am trying to study; it's so hard to do right now! My mind keeps wandering to my midnight tonight. I remember last year that there wasn't anyone already on the...

Ok so I ask this every year, I am in Perth so I am 2 hours behind the Eastern states so, what time can I check? :)

OMG Jess congratulations!!!!! I have been waiting to see a message from you since this afternoon. I even said to hubby "no news from little Jess yet!". I think I adopt everyone as my "extra"...

Thinking happy thoughts for everyone waiting and thank you Vichel. It is April 30 today, and it will be a long wait to log in (on our May 2nd in Aust). I am preparing myself for two no's (hubby...

I just had a look at that site, and if you click on the actual zone number, e.g. 3, it will say it requires at least 2 years etc.

:)

Q

I believe when I looked into this once what they are looking for are occupations that are in particular zones. When you go to O*Net, look at all zones http://www.onetonline.org/find/zone?z=0&g=Go.

Jess I think Mushy is probably right on this one. If there is anything missing, they will conduct the interview and just hold over the deliberation until all the paperwork they need (and is missing)...

Congratulations on the visa process being smooth for you :) I am curious, can you give a little background on your process for securing the scholarship? I wasn't aware full scholarships like this...
