Re: 2nd VAC
My question was a bit confused I should have expalined that It took me from May to September to get all the assurance , medicals and police checks organised so you could say I'm five months into this process already. I put my house on the market in April too. Thinking if I sold it I could stay with my sister . But like you no buyers. I've reduced it by £20K still no buyers . As I'm going to Perth for three months on the 17th when I get back I'll have to decide whether to leave it on the market or rent it out. I was hoping that my house would be sold and my visa would be through BUT . I'll also have to decide whether to ship my furniture out there and leave the house empty. The estate agent says it sells better with the furniture in it although nothing seems to be selling his year . All these things add up to scary moments don't they . :scared:

Re: 2nd VAC
No pets . I've always had cats but they died of old age so when I get there and settle I will probably get a dog . My daughter has a lab puppy so I can always take her out for a walk to start with but I must admitt I do miss having a pet at home. When I was in Glen Forrest last visit there were loads of dogs and owners on the trails and they always seem to stop and chat so it's a good way of meeting people. Good luck with your house sale hope you do something soon THIS CAN'T GO ON FOREVER can it ?

Us three WILL be meeting for a glass or two of something cool in Perth one day of that I am sure. I, too, will probably get another dog once I am down there, just have to rent somewhere where they are allowed. Suzanne

Re: 2nd VAC
Have a question seeing as my in-laws have just sent off their paperwork, when was the 1st payment required and what sort of gap would be usual for the 2nd payment, they thought the whole lot was due in one payment right at the end of the process?

Re: 2nd VAC
Just read this . Are your in laws applying on Contr Parent 143 ? If so it seems to be 1st payment then 6-9 months later 2nd payment after lodging the assurance of support.
