Re: Lisarow, Central Coast

We're in Avoca Beach, so just around the corner from you really. I'm assuming you're already in Oz so you probably know everything already, but feel free to drop me a PM if you have any questions. :)

Re: Self-employed on WHV?

Thanks tking, that's what I would call good advice, i.e. actual suggestions rather than just saying "it's unlikely you'll be approved". We are planning now, and have been for months, but people on...

Re: Student Loans to be fully repaid before application to emigrate?

That's right, I have student debts from going to uni but I'm thick enough to have walked up to the customs desk and declared that I was going to overstay my visa and/or had a WHV for purposes of deep...

Re: Self-employed on WHV?

You're right, I was given good advice by you, which answered my original questions. No, I won't get kicked out for breaking the temporary work rule, but apparently I will get kicked out when my de...

Re: Self-employed on WHV?

The "free advice" I was given before was that it would be "unlikely that you would have significant evidence proving that you were in a fully-fledged de facto relationship on the day of arrival",...

Re: Self-employed on WHV?

When I saw that I'd had a reply from George Lombard I knew I'd be in for some doom and gloom.



It might not be a good option but it's the only one we have. I can't magic extra time out of thin...

Re: Self-employed on WHV?

1. Phew!

2. Sounds complicated but I'm sure I'll be fine. (Unless it turns out like the first episode of Black Books!)

Re: Student Loans to be fully repaid before application to emigrate?

Just to follow up my previous posts in this thread, I got a letter a few weeks ago from the SLC saying that I don't need to make any repayments for 12 months. I assume this is because I'm on a WHV...

Re: That 'choice' thing in supermarkets ...

I think food shopping is far better here than in the UK. We go to Harris Farm Markets for our fruit and veg, Coles for everything else, and we have a fab shop called George's Fruit Barn which sells...

Self-employed on WHV?

I've been in Oz for two and a half months now, came over to live with my Aussie boyfriend and intend to apply for a de facto spouse visa just before my WHV runs out, so I'm quite settled...

Re: Complete Clearout - All Gone Bar my memories Upstairs?

I'm going out on a WHV on Thursday, with the intention of applying for a spouse visa when my year is up, and just taking what I can fit in my cases. Leaving my books and CDs at my parents' house and...

Re: Student Loans to be fully repaid before application to emigrate?

I'm not recommending it either, just saying that I don't think everyone is as diligent about contacting the SLC before going overseas.

Why is Perth so popular with Brits?

I'm heading to Oz in a couple of weeks on a WHV and pretty much every time I tell someone, the conversation goes like this:

"Whereabouts are you going?"
"Central Coast NSW."
"Where's that?"...

Re: Proposed Evidence List for De Facto Spouse Visa
