DHL took 3 days from collection to delivery and was tracked all the way, including the person signing for it in Perth. Cost was £29

Great to know that it's now down to 13-14 months.
Has anyone else confirmed the earlier report that Perth have introduced a new system (batch processing) to speed the process?

Unfortunately I haven't been following his adventures. A search for Sir Matt revealed nothing.
Is he on the other site?

Total sense, Fiz.
It's all abundantly clear. Get the meds done in good time, I think... about 6 months before the anticipated visa date.

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

Does validating the visa mean you actually go to Oz, Fiz?
If this is so, based on the assumption that it takes 15-18 months to get your visa, medicals etc can be done as early as 3-6 months after...

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

Dear Katie & Fiz,
Your comments are so positive and supportive. Take the chance and think YES I always say. Don't the Aussies do that all the time? Isn't that why we're going there? Isn't it because...

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

Does this mean people get their medicals done before a CO is appointed, Fiz?

Re: What to and What not to Ship?

The discussion on this topic has been SO useful, but we still feel that our "older" white goods - washing machine, dishwasher, cooker, etc are hardly worth shipping.
My main query is around antique...

Sorry Johnimo... stupid question on my part... I should have read your message more carefully... obvious that it is on the marginal bit only.

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