So I have a quick question for all those of you Australians who have been through this whole ruddy process.

We filed in August, and our predicted NOA2 is end of December/early Jan, from the NOA2 point should how long expect the rest of the process to take? I have heard that with sydney it is anywhere between 4 - 8 weeks? Am I right in guessing this?

Chris and I just want to work out prices (roughly) for my ticket home, and I need to consider if if it is worth me looking for extra work at the start of next year ( I am a teacher so the school year up QLD isnt really back till last week of Jan).

Also, when is a good time to start shipping some of my stuff over? Does anyone have a good, reasonable priced company they used when they moved?

Thanks for any help in advance!
