Re: Contributory Parent Visa - Part 5 - Visa/Immigration queries only please!!

Re: Contributory Parent Visa - now sparkling lifestyle chat in Australia!!

I think you need to click on my name and check when I last mentioned any spread name before ranting off again. I have not complained since the split so have no idea what you mean by reminding you so...

Re: Contributory Parent Visa - now sparkling lifestyle chat in Australia!!

With that you need to ask??? :ohmy:

I guess people chat where they like not where they are told.

Surprising thing is those that supported the mods when they split the site up have never posted...

Wow, we got it, it looks like the 15th was a busy day at Perth with 2 visas being granted. Bit like London buses.:thumbup:

Re: Contributory Parent Visa - Part 5 - Visa/Immigration queries only please!!

No one seems to have give an example of anything that CPVs can claim for so the only benefit seems to be the interest on the bond.

Re: Contributory Parent Visa - Part 5 - Visa/Immigration queries only please!!
