    We had a unit for years in Perth when we moved to the UK. What a massive wast of money that was!! https://guardsman.com.au/ where however very good, relatively cheap and short contracts as well. Easy access just of Leach highway. In the very short term, I would look at asking your shipping company to store the whole lot for you.

    This is quite normal; many of us had this - the sponsor being approved before the applicant has not yet been implemented.

    E tickets are fine, all of my holiday evidence was booking emails and e tickets. if you look back through emails you may find you have more than you think!

    Photos wise, get the digital image, copy or import it into word, and write a sentence about it ,date, event, who there - useful to have for example both your families, joint friends etc. Repeat this up to say 5-6 pages with 3-4 per page with a selection of photos through your relationship; If they tie in with joint travel tickets mentioned in your evidence of life together all the better. Or wedding pics etc. Once you have done, save as a pdf and bingo you only use one upload slot for a load of pictures, and it is much easier for the CO to evaluate - which is the objective here!

    The application isn't difficult, but you do have to be organised and thorough. As long as you are willing to do the research and planning your evidence, put it together in an organised way and upload it all, there is no need for an agent in most cases.

    As has been said before, it depends entirely on what you do for fun.

    Do you expect your kids to live in Warwickshire? Unlikely I would have thought, most kids seem to migrate the big cities at the start of their careers, and I doubt that is much different. I think of moving to Sydney like moving to London - most people don't actually buy a home anywhere near London, and live quite happily in the home counties commuting or indeed working in the multitude of opportunities not in the Central London itself. Its seems to me Sydney is more focused on commuting into the CBD, but certainly not everyone does. If you are not imagining you will live in Mosman and have a 15 minute commute by ferry, or on the beach in Manly then I don't see why you shouldn't. I also rather suspect the kids who cannot afford to buy are being rather selective in where they look. I doubt it is impossible.

    Very important point!!! You do NOT have to have the intention to stay in the UK if you are applying as the spouse of a British Citizen! Everyone else does, you don't. I believe you can in fact apply then leave the country and even do your citizenship ceremony overseas in an embassy. We looked at this as we were potentially moving very quickly.

    Woohoo Congratulations!!! Fab news, NZ here you come!!

    I was through London which is a low risk country and tends to be quicker. Mine took 8.5 months.

    It is the seeming endless days of grey grey skies that kills you. Loving a bit of sunshine in Sydney this week. I think the climate change models expect the UK to get much colder in Winter not warmer as the Gulf stream will probably fade away and the climate will be more like Canada at the same latitude.

    Where from? That is well within the processing time unfortunately, and you won't hear anything until you get a request for more information or your grant decision. I heard nothing until I got the grant email.

    I used pdf bank statements - they are secured so you can’t edit them. no you just need good colour scans for your documents - no certified copies are required.

    I wish you all luck! I am in Sydney, Visa is activated! It is slightly disconcerting that you breeze through the electronic gates and have nothing at all to show you have validated. VEVO still shows last entry date.

    Can you reply to your grant email? Or call the helpline.

    Based on the multitude of migrants I have employed over the years who have recently arrived a lot easier than in Australia. To be fair thought, the temp / contract Market in the UK is strong, so it is usually pretty easy to the get the first role on the CV even if it isn't permanent.

    I completely agree as well; It is tough enough having separated parents without one of them being on the other side of the world. Fair enough at 15 or 16 maybe but 11 is too young in my opinion. I think the OP should reconsider what she is asking her ex to accept, and for what? Swapping one developed Western country for another. What about wider family, Grandparents etc?

    http://www.alternativefamilylaw.co.uk/international/relocating-abroad-children/ Some pointers there; on what basis could you establish Australia would offer a better life for your daughter without her father? Looks very difficult to me. I would be thinking very very hard about this. Sound like a long a painful journey, with an uncertain outcome which could sour relations with your ex a great deal. Is it really worth it? Also 11 year olds change their mind all the time!

    I am very glad to have mine that is for sure, and I fly to Sydney on Friday for 1 week validation trip! Going to be working so I don't have to use any holiday!
  22. Jon the Hat
    Congrats everyone, great new on the grants; I can only assume the email system in London has been on the blink and they just fixed it!!
  23. Jon the Hat
    Ring the helpline ASAP! You don;t want them assessing you on no evidence!
  24. Jon the Hat
    I am glad you could sort something out! It is nice to see that there are some exceptional circumstances which they will take into account.
  25. Jon the Hat
    Wahey that is fantastic! You were obviously quick enough not to drop back in the pile for review! Congratulations!
