Once our visa has been approved :fingerscrossed: we are going to rent the house, then live in a 1 bed flat or even a static caravan for the summer, then pack our cases and go! Sounds a bit mad, but the stress of moving house and flying to Oz in the same week sounds a bit much for me, especially with two littleluns. Moving out asap will leave us with our stuff to ship in storage and a few more quid in the bank each month, then when we are ready, we grab our cases, check out and leave!! :eek: Yeehah! Sue, We must have been twins seperated at birth !!! we have been talking about doing the same, statics are a bit pricey in the south because its a bit of a holiday haven, we live near poole/bournemouth/sandbanks, we have been looking arond for ages but cannot seem to find anything cheap enough, our mortgage seems to be cheaper. Bit of a nightmare when you have children aswell, but we will get their :thumbsup: Wish we did it 4 years ago when things were a bit more rosie in the UK |

Re: Things seem to be moving quickly now!
Same here, but children adjust a lot quicker than us adults! :thumbsup: They make friends within a flash. Best to do it when they are young as would be a big move for a teenager. I keep getting wobbly, but at then end of the day if you dont like you you can always come back! We will always have a british passport :thumbup:

We have our meds on Tuesday next week, tho not worried, we had already done ours last year, but you never know.
I dont feel that our visas will be issued in feb/march, i think it will be more 4-6 months before we hear from our CO after everything has been met/finalized. Hubby spoke to DIAC 2 weeks ago and these where the predicted timelines they gave us then, but also said it could be longer depending on what the c/o found in our files and whether she required more information. Our aim is hopefully to be there before our daughter starts school......in the meantime life goes on:D I hope I am right and your wrong on this one. As soon as its granted we can go & I really hoping for May at latest to fly.:thumbsup: |

I agree, I dont think it would be longer than a month or so once all docs met! Good for you John! We havent got enough money yet, so hoping to fly Sept/Oct time :eek:
Our case officer told us 2 weeks ago that she was satisfied with our submitted paperwork & only thing waiting now was medicals. I just logged on to file & all our meds are saying FINALISED as of 02/02/2011. :thumbsup::thumbsup: |

Hold onto you house Sue, the market will improve then you will be quids in :thumbsup: When i stated the 4-6 this is just what DIAC informed us of, it's not from my crystal ball that many people use on here:blink: If you think 4-6 months, then you dont get let down when you dont receive it next month:frown: I wish EVERYBODY on here luck:thumbsup: |

Hope you're right but just be aware (probably already are but it bears repeating to those coming up behind you) that DIAC don't worry about your validation period being cut into, they grant when they grant and you can only hope for the best. As is always said, think worse case scenario and you can only be pleasantly surprised by a quick grant. :)
