Futureinoz Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 A small update on our futureinoz, had the medicals for Dad and Son, raised a few eyebrows when paid in cash, well its money from the sale of the car...bill needed paying so be it. A very easy experience, initial report no issues, so onward we go, and wondered who else in the waiting room, was on the same journey, noted one family (mum/dad 2 kids) full of hope and anticipation, could see it in the parents eyes (Yes we are people watchers lol). A PS about the car, when mentioed at work that the classic had been sold, knowing how much the car meant to us, boss at work responded "you are going then?"...

cronemeister Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Well I lodged my visa application on 04/06/12, and I've just checked the progress online this morning to find the words Applicant Approved underneath all of our names on the application so it looks like mine has taken 4 days....WOW ! I have a couple of questions for people:- It says that my visa is valid until 08/06/2015 which is obviously 4 years from today. Does this mean that if I don't go to Oz for another 2-3 months that I won't be able to apply for PR after the 4 years as I will be 2-3 months short, or does it go from the date that you actually validate your visa (i.e. land in Oz)? The other question I have is that on my application details it states 8501 - Health Cover and 8107 - Work Limitation under the conditions attached to your visa section, however there is no mention on my partners details of the 8107 - work limitation condition. Does this mean that she doesn't have any and is free to work and do whatever she wants when we get there. I'm assuming that its on mine as I'm the main visa applicant and that my employment sponsorship is a condition of my visa. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

NorthernSoul Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 With just over 2 months til the move, finally feeling like I'm getting somewhere - after much deliberation just confirmed the shippers (John Mason), house completion date (seems to be) fixed for 3 weeks time, had job interview (for job i really want) and got reply this morning that they are proceeding with references, got another interview in 2 weeks time (for job i'm not as keen on but hey, you need options). After impatiently waiting for the days to tick down, all i need now is my exams next week to be over and then project Oz really kicks in...yeay!!

Candygirl Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 WhooooHoooo the builders are here!! I am looking at my lovely shiny floors with their footprints all over them and having an OCD moment, but I am just glad they are here and working. Keeping everything crossed the house can go up next week, just when the Spanish government are rumoured to be asking for a bailout. I am sure people will be flocking to buy a house now - NOT:err: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shellyk666 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I've drafted 2 stat decs and 3 work references for my DH. I wasn't looking forward to it so have been putting it off - feeling v pleased with myself now :cool: Only got 1 reference left to do, need to get last 9 years worth of tax return statements from HMRC and get copies of specific bank statements from 8 years ago and we're ready to submit to vetassess! I will be beside myself when we get to that point!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delaneym Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I got my ahpra and a job interview and a job offer and then an e-mail to confirm the sponsorship. Today I have had another day off from Australia ( tho i am clearly obsessed with this forum!) and then Monday I start to gather everything i need to lodge the application! Oh and on my day off Australia I have been checking out the areas to live in recommended by a kind person living there. Not doing very well on the day off from Australia I guess!

Mummy Mann Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Hopefully sold our house!!! Friends have put an offer in with the estate agents and we have accepted :0D Any idea how long it takes for the sale to complete? I've never sold a house before. We are both using the same solicitor so hopefully this will speed things up. Aiming to be in oz late November :0D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candygirl Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Well Done Mummy Mann, normally anything from 6-12 weeks, depending on the chain. When we sold our first house, we did it in 2 weeks. No chain either end. When we sold our second house it went through in 4 weeks as everyone in the chain was on the ball and wanted things to move quickly. As you are both using the same solicitor, this should speed things up as you won't be waiting for solicitors to sit on letters etc. Have instructed the estate agent to put the house on the market today - they are coming on Weds to take photos. I have told my lovely neighbours who are incredibly sad, but sooo very excited for us. Very brave for us as we have not told anyone except very close friends and our immediate families. Have shuffled some more papers for TRA and am just waiting for our first legal adviser to apply to the tax office for our returns. OH out now chasing up detailed testimonials from clients.

Thank you candygirl :0) I hope it will be fairly quick. Our friends are renting at the moment so it should be straight forward as our house is empty. Good luck with the sale of your house. Ours was on the market for nearly six months and in the end we sold for a big loss on the original asking price... Cough 20k. But I am happy as we can start planning our future soon x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
