Well im now one week away from moving to Melbourne. Out stuff was sent 3 weeks ago with anglo pacific (so far so good with them) and is expected to arrive 3 -4 weeks after we arrive. Got a house and car sorted and kids are enrolled in schools ! So far so good. Im excited but also nervous about the move, going to throw everything I have at it to make it work. It has taken us two years to get to this stage (with the court case etc). -
Just wanted anyone interested to know that I got my leave to remove, visa was granted in November 2017 and we are all set to move to Traralgon, Victoria at the end of March this year. Its been a long hard battle to get to this point, lots of money spent, lots of time, bucket loads of stress during the Court case......but we go there in the end . Now the panic has set it ! will it work out for us in oZ? will my kids settle? Will I be able to move my business to oz?

Im afraid i cant give you a technical explanation as to why it takes so long. the offide deals with child abduction case so i guess first off a matter like this is not seen as urgent and secondly its my understanding that there are only 2 judges in Aus who will do it (sign off on a British order). My case was very contentious and so we asked and paid for a written recital of the judges summing up as well which was sent along with the order. We were not able to obtain much info during the process. Needless to say our visa app relied on the order being registered and all out docs were in and just waiting for the australian order. soon as we got it we uploaded it with a letter and 48hrs later GRANT

Some even better news for you........There is no cost !

sorry for lengthy delay in responding. your order needs to go through : Imogen Adams-Stiell | Senior Case Manager International Child Abduction & Contact Unit (ICACU) Central Authority for England and Wales Office of Official Solicitor and Public Trustee, Victory House, 30-34 Kingsway, London WC2B 6EX 020 3681 2608 (10am to 4pm Monday to Friday)

YEEEESSS !! Ive just received my temp and permanent visa for me and my two children very very very happy. I had to get to leave to remove my children through the Courts, that was granted in Feb 2016. Applied for our visa's same month. Then had to have the UK court order registered in Australia which took best part of 7 months. We had to re=apply for police checks a week ago and hit submit yesterday only to be granted today, straight to permanent ! Delighted to say the least. Its been a very very long road which started 2 years ago with an application to the UK court for permission to remove my children permanently.

No indication of timescales no the last case that went through this process last year took two months to have the UK Court order registered by a Judge in Australia. Despite what you may think, UK court orders are NOT recognised in OZ, they do not have mirror orders like some other countries. You have to have your uk order re-written by an australian judge so that its in australian law. And to do that you have to have the full transcript of the final hearing and suing up recorded and written down by a professional transcriber so that the australian judge can understand how the uk judge came to their decision ! Lots of red tape. My visa and my children visa's are subject to the order being registered in the australia so we can get granted until its registered.

We are moving there because my wife is Melbournian and has lots of family there. Our chosen town is Traralgon, about 2 hour drive east of the city. Im used to country town living (live in Cornwall at the moment) so Traralgon suits me just fine. I am self employed and will be starting a business fresh when we land so nervous about how that might go....

Very envious of all you guys getting grants My visa app was placed end of Feb, medicals and police checks done by end of March but I have a court order which has too be registered in Australia before i can get a grant. I had a leave to remove case awarded in my favour in Jan this year in the UK court (permission to relocate with my two children) but as part of the order I have to have a mirror order in Australia. So its taking quite some time. . I am also moving to Melbourne (how come everyone seems to be moving to Melb ??)

So we are hoping to move out to oz around end of November this year. We have 5 kids, all under 14. The plan is to ship out stuff 8 weeks before we go, live with not much in the Uk during that time, then only have to wait couple weeks once in 0z for out stuff. Hopefully getting it before xmas ! ! ! Have had several quotes. Mainly looking at doree bonner or Anglo Pacific. Pacific are saying as they ship every 7-10 days to melbourne we should get out stuff quicker than if we ship with bonnor. Pacific are also a little cheaper. Confused as to what to do and which one would be best to use

I wouldnt take it, from what i have heard it could get picked up

I live in sunny Cornwall and im off to Melbourne in November this year. I dont need a full shipping container so we saw on this forum Movecube from Sevenseas. Wow sounds like a great idea and looks cost effective - I thought. So I went on their website early yesterday morning to try and produce a quote, but rigt at the end of the quotation system it said could not continue and to contact them direct. So waited till 9am and my wife phoned and spoke to someone. "yes we can do that" said the nice lady on the phone, the only problem was getting the movecube from Sevenseas depot to the home address in Oz, so we said not a problem we can collect from the depot! The lady said she would call us back with a price. Waited all day until 5pm. So I called and explained we were still waiting for a quote and were very keen to GET SIGNED UP. She flaffed about a bit and then said the original lady was just speaking to the warehouse to see how much extra it would cost because we are in Cornwall. No call back ! So my wife called again today to be told they were still looking in to it and then we got cut off. So she called back again and got a different person who could not find any of our details on their system, so we went through all that again only to be told by the lady that Cornwall is not in their service area so we cant use moveccube ! end of phone call. Not happy. I was sure I had seen 1 or 2 other people on this forum from Cornwall use Movecube..... either way not happy that Ive been messed about so much over just a quote!
-
Ive called Sevenseas 2-3 times requesting a quote from them but i still have no idea on cost! We are in Cornwall so because its out of the area they needed to get to me........ the wait continues. Ideally im looking for a large one and a medium to be delivered to Melbourne

Today we have had communication about registering our UK Court order in Australia (something we have to do before we can migrate). My wife is Australian and has family in Traralgon area (about 2 hours East of Melbourne) thats where we will migrate to. We applied for my Visa middle of Feb but have to have the court order registered in Oz before we will get granted I am preying we dont miss out in the quick granting that seems to be going on
