Hi all

Thanks for the welcome.

We now have police checks back

We have recieved the invitation to apply and we have now got X-rays 13th Aug and medicals tuesday 14th.

I hear it takes approx 7 days before you get results back to be able to submit them which we hope to do around 21st Aug.

We are in the hands of immigration after that

Cheers

Jay,Dee & the fellas

Our agent has been in constant contact with the case file worker but still waiting verification???(of what they will not say).

Medicals are pretty straight forward and you get to keep the chest x-rays. The panel doctor we used rang us when they were ready to pick up and asked if we wanted to collect or have them posted. We collected them and checked them thoroughly. Some bits were missing, like doc's signature on each page, and one photo not been signed over. Would recommend you check each page carefully!

Anyway, just wanted to wish you luck with it all

I agree with teamembo, check everything before you send it all to immigration house as they dont seem to be in a rush to sort any problems out. Sent passports off and still waiting, hopefully they haven't lost all the other docs we sent. How mad is it, you supply marriage cert stating married for 17 yrs, have three kids together, apply together yet they still ask for evidence that you co habitated for the last 12 months. Like someone said on another thread, they like you to jump through hoops, pay a fortune, well it is for a family of five, and still play the waiting game. Roll on January 10th

Hello everyone, can anybody advice me on police checks? i have had my police checks come back and on it was a public order offence for beating a bully boy x2, this was in 1994 and was the last time i fractured the law, and the other time was 1987, and since that time i have not been in trouble with police again (although i do like to put bullies in their place even now) i have been approved for an ITA, and am worried this will go against me? does any one think it will matter? as its not exactly the Nuremburg war trial! but should i be concerned about it? i don't want to pay medicals and then find this as stopped me getting in, any advice is always welcomed, cheers Lee

Hi Lee. Just be sure to explain the circumstances in the space provided and stress that you have been a model citizen since then and have put your wild years behind you. You'll be alright.

happynz, even if this does not come off (me moving over to NZ) the one thing that sticks in my mind is what an awsome helpful guy you are, you are a person that stands out among others and does not judge others you a first class human being, cheers Lee.

I'm sure it does say somewhere about providing evidence of your relationship and I know I've posted what's required countless times on various threads to make people aware that a marriage certificate alone is not enough. They need to see you are still together at the same address currently to stop people coming over who have no intention of continuing in their relationship once here. The evidence requirement shouldn't be too hard to find. They like relationship testimonial letters from friends and family, photos of recent and past holidays (you write on the back the details of the event portrayed), joint invitations to family and friends functions, joint memberships, eg gym, evidence of joint finances, utility bills, mortgage, bank account, anything that shows you remain a couple in a stable, loving relationship. And they like the envelopes for the testimonial letters and invitations etc to see that they were addressed to you both at the address you claim is your main residential address.
