Hi Jon n Bec, I completed the the Practical in June last yr, we held off off the final Visa app until we did a recci in September( we wanted to make sure all the fmaily was happy). we have finally just lodged in December after getting all the paperwork sorted out. it never ends the small details they ask for.
I believe its going to be a another yr or so now before the visa is granted.

Hi Baby, it's good to meet up with ppl who went to Chilwell comp, and those who didn't. how are you enjoying it out in the sun. as i write this it's peeing it down again.

Welcome Nott's bloke, your Nick made me chuckle. i bet your a derby fan through and through. LOL

Si

How dare you! I am a Notts County fan.

Stylish Pie's, that makes at least 2 Notts fans on here then, come on you Pie's

we're doing practical next month, and i was trying to work out roughly when we'd be ready to submit the visa application, but i know how much evidence etc you have to get, hopefully if he passes (he thinks he wont!), i will have everything ready by the end of march.

i don't mind the long wait after the applications in, it's the waiting between stages that drives me mad, he should have originally done his practical last july, so its been hanging over our heads since then.

where did you go on your reccie? we're still undecided where to go, we've got friends and relatives in nsw & qlnd, but we like lots of areas, suppose we need to go where theres more chance of work.

Nice one. What is living in Melbourne like? I have only been once but loved it. Seems more cultured than Sydney.
