i was advised by someone on here before to get copies of wage slips ready as they were asked by their co for them aswell think it must be standard practise.

Re: AUGUST 2007 Applicants
Im in a pickle and cant decide what to do.
We are hoping our visa wont be too long, and as we are staying with Dad waiting for it to happen we will be flying out within few weeks of getting visa.
The thing is, before we go we want to do a week or two in Ireland to say goodbye to family out there (in laws and my cousins and aunts/uncles)....Ryan air can do us a return journey for £50 (for 5 of us) which is usually nearer £300 - so do I risk it and book for end of may/first week in June and hope our visa comes before then so we can just go , or is this going to scud me and mean we wont get visa till August and have to go say bye all over again....I really dont want to have to do that.
Ive got til Thursday to book.

Think of all the money you'll save to to spend on wine or whatever your drink is, when over there. I am going to do the same, fly over, have a big big celebration then say my goodbyes. Will be worse then leaving here is some ways, my aunts are the best and so funny, love'em to bits. You Book those tickets gonnago NOW!

Re: AUGUST 2007 Applicants
Hi all fellow Augustees,
Congrats to TMRE on visa grant and those who have finally been allocated a case officer !
Haven't been on since last week, had a long weekend in Marbella with hubby to celebrate my 40th aahhh !!!! Had a fab time, ate and drunk far too much and now have not a penny to my name.
I was just in the process of catching up on the weeks events of us Augustees on BE when my mobile rang- it was my agent telling me that we have a C.O and they've requested Meds & PCC's- Yeah !!!!!! Still can't quite believe it.
Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for the rest of you guys and especially for Mr.Benn and Mark & Gill that they get their full ack very ,very soon !!!!
Off to open the bubbly once kids are in bed and hubby home from golf.
Take Care All

Re: AUGUST 2007 Applicants
Hi harrycharlie,
Can I be impertinent and ask how many jobs either you or OH have had (for whoever is the main applicant) and how many refs you sent with your TRA?
I am crapping myself as we only have payslips for Paul's current job and we don't keep p60's either but on the other hand Paul has only had 6 jobs i.e. Welding apprenticeship - 3 years, Army - 4.5 years, welding job - 8 years, welding job - 9 years, welding job - 5 months and job he is in now 1 year so far, he did have to do st dec for apprenticeship but had City & Guilds and course syllabus that he provided. Do you still think they will ask, we have provided jobs references for all and all the army paperwork.
Thanks Claire x

Re: AUGUST 2007 Applicants
Good news wasn't it to know meds cleared (an excuse for wine and choc me thinks!). Phoned George our agent and he said does not necessarly mean we have co and could be that we could go straight to visa. I'm still waiting for pcc's - 40 days up 26 April and then hopefully I can scan them - how about you?

i don't no whether they ask everyone we had the e.mail today asking us but our agent said it should be fine to send husbands p60's and some payslips so we have had to ask his employer for a copy for 2004-2005 agent has the one year then we are sending last years and need this years off employer to send off.
Are you going through an agent if so maybe you could ask them if you will need this information

Re: AUGUST 2007 Applicants
Good luck with the viewing. I'm trying to keep the house tidy (not easy as my beagle malts all the bloody time:curse
. Don't know why i bother as we are just not getting viewers. So despondent that i'm not sure dropping the price will make any difference. Went to EA for advice and not much good news was offered!! Get the freshly baked bread in the oven and cross your fingers.

Saw a beagle the other day and thought that you don't see too many of them. (bit like dalmations) My memory of beagles is pictures of them chain-smoking in labs when I was younger
Have you seen the house-selling tips posted by someone. apparently coffee and bread baking smells isn't a myth.
I must admit I am worried 'bout the latest news on house prices, need the same to happen in Oz or else i'll be selling matches on the streets once there
