Re: Pensions HM Forces

I transferred to the RAAF in July 2008, and therefore have not been here a full financial year, so am still wondering how the tax implications will play out.

Hi,

I'm resurrecting this thread because my family and I have just bought a house in Springfield and I wanted to know if there were any fellow Brits there already. We are currently in temporary...

Re: January 08 Applicants

Uh-oh, it's my eyesight, must need checking - my first post did work after all. Sorry folks, just ignore me, I can't blame the jet lag either, that only lasted a week! :)

Re: Medical processing time??

Ours were similar - even with one member of our family as a 'B'. About 2 weeks from receipt at LCU to finalising seems normal at the moment.

Re: January 08 Applicants

We are on a 120 Labour Agreement - which makes our application a little unusual. I've got a job with the Royal Australian Air Force so I think things happen a bit quicker than normal. However, we...

Re: January 08 Applicants

I've worked-out that Canberra are 9 hours ahead of us, so DIAC must work midnight to 8 am our time (9 to 5 there). Would you expect them to contact us only between those times?

Re: HELP what s it mean

We've just had the same answer from the LCU - 'medicals have been assessed - contact CO for any other information'.
