Hi there, My name is Simon, I have a partner Clare, 2 boys Liam 12 and Matthew 5, we have finally lodged our application for a 175 visa. anyone doing the same and going to Perth or wherever who lives in the Nottingham or surrounding area please get in touch.

sim and clare

We are from West Hallam/Ilkeston and we fly to Sydney on the 31s December...

WOW, we are in Long Eaton, just down the road, are you emigrating for good or going for a holiday.

si

For good, we went for 4 weeks in March/April to validate the visa which was granted december last year.

If you have just sent off the visa you have sometime to get stuff planned, we have taken 18 months to 2 years to plan stuff and still feel like we missed something, what has made you choose Western Australia?

Hi, I lived in Sydney as a kid for 12yrs before my parents, emigrated back in 1983. having lived in Campbelltown NSW, I always wanted to go to Perth.
We Went to Perth in September this year for a holiday/ recci and we loved it.

as regards to the Visa we know its going another year or so before we hear. we have a good agent who keeps us upto date and i goto to the Expo's in Leeds when there on.

Good luck with the flights and the move when you get there. please let me know how you get on when you get back on the net.

Ans I am sure you are going to miss the rain and miserable weather here aren't you.

if you don't mind me asking what trade do you have. I am going to do Air Con.

Going to Perth and really looking forward to it and feeling the sunshine on my back again.
