Hi steve,

We're from Dumbarton and are hoping to move to perth in December/January. We are a 138 visa so maybe its a bit optomistic. Acknowledgement received by DIMIA on 9th March so now the wait. We have relatives in Kinross, Perth and went there for a holiday over chistmas and new year and loved it. We knew we would and thats why our assessment had already been sent to TRA before we left for our hols. It would be nice if we were there before the schools start back in February after their summer holidays but if that doesnt happen, then whats another month or two!!

or three or four

Hi Dave
Have you been to Frankston before, or do you know people there? We were thinking of South Frankston or Mornington.

Sitting tight in Sunny Glesga, heading to Perth hopefully by the end of the year. Just about to send the App for 136 (MODL)

Hi Steve

Hi, I'm from Dalgety Bay in Fife.
We are going to Brisbane in June to validate our visas which were granted in January.
I'm planning to go to Dundee on the 15th.
We had a really good time the last time and it does help being able to speak to others going through the same process.
Alison

have spent many a day down at dalgety

brought up just along the coast in sunny burntisland!

Hi Dave
I am a bookkeeper ( although housewife for past 5 years) and hubby is A&E Staff Nurse, we are in process of getting skills check then onto STNI, we originally wanted to go for a 136 but would have to wait for another 6 months due to the 12-18 month work experience, OH took 11 month career break so didn't meet criteria for 136. We also heard to avoid North Frankston, but like the look of South, we have been looking at houses in both Frankston & Mornington and like both. We are looking at staying at the BIG4 Dandenong Tourist Park for a few weeks until we find a rental, have you heard of it and if so is it OK, are you staying with your sister when you arrive? You are a bit further ahead in the process, how have you found it so far? and are you using an agent? we are doing it ourselves. GOOD LUCK with your meds
Sorry for all the questions.
cheers Jac

Have great memories of Burntisland, used to holiday there every year when I was wee. Got chased by a bull, think it was my red kilt. :scared:

Hi,we will be staying with my sis for a while then going to rent something for maybe 6 months,so far process has been good we are using agent from Edinburgh they have been very good and I think well worth the money,my sister works in Frankston hospital and they live in South Frankston,brother in law works in a hospital as well,they both have great jobs,is your husband going back into nursing and have you looked at any hospitals yet?We are booking our meds tonight so hopefully all will be well,good luck with it all Cheers Dave&Claire
