Does anyone know a) Can a UK bank cheque in £’S be paid into an Australian bank account, and what would be the charges? And b) will Australia take a cut for tax from it, even though inheritance tax will have been paid in England? Thanks in advance! Sandy

Place names are hard work!!! Husband still struggles with where we're living....Wollongong. I keep saying, it's woollen gong. Easy. But, can he get it right???! Nope! We both get laughed at for saying stuff "wrong" - my stock answer for this, is "what language do you speak?" (The reply comes English) "Yes, well, have a guess who knows best how to speak English.....the Australians or the English??" Dont get me started on driving!! OMG! Undertaking is fine here..... trucks don't have a lower speed limit.....and people drive way too close to the car in front. So.....expect to jump out of your skin when you get two, whacking great big trucks overtaking you, one on each side, whilst having a "red P plater" driving so close you can see the whites of their eyes. You cannot buy lamb or pork stock cubes for love nor money. Other than that, we're loving it! The beaches are out of this world, and we go out and about loads, spend time together enjoying our new lifestyle. Homesick? Not on your Nelly!! There's certain things we miss, but we won't be going back to England.

Hi folks. We've just had a quote from PSS for our move from Somerset to NSW and I've packed a few odds and ends into vacuum/suction bags already. The man that came to do the quote said not to use them due to possible moisture damage. Now, I may not be the brightest pin in the box, but not sure how moisture would get in if there's no air??? Anyone else heard this? I just keep thinking that they don't want us to use them because they create less volume and these companies want lots of volume!!

189 Visa Lodged August 2015

Police check or medical dated last April? -
When we submitted our application, it specifically said not to do the health and police checks until we were requested to do so. We submitted 27 March. When our CO got in touch, he said not to have the checks done until after 27 September. So we waited. Some other evidence was requested by email, and we were told we needed to add it to our application within 70 days of the date of the email. I think this was statements by friends, although I can't be sure on that.

A school Project is pronounced prowject (row as in row your boat). Not sure about to project your voice, though!! Language is weird, isn't it? If you say "hiya" they will question you about what on earth you're saying! Equally, if you say "alright?" They'll look at their body to see if they have an injury. You should ask "how yer goin" and the reply will be "yeah good thanks". If you've had a few beers the night before, you may be asked the next morning if you've pulled up ok.

I scanned the police certificate and loaded it there

The way I've read all the info, seems to me that you can get the 100 two years after original lodgement date, so I would think the same as you think...

Ours took about 2 months from the date our police check and medical were uploaded.

What about evidence of future commitment? Do you have wills? Have you got life insurance policies for each other? Joint plans for future, investments. Are you Godparents to any children? Anything like that might help.
-
Oh yes, and council tax, voting papers, warranties, mobile phone bills, receipts for things you've bought for the house (and photos) neighbours statements. Google Earth photos showing your car (I know the reg is blanked out, but make model and colour) Amazon account details??
-
Christmas/birthday cards? Invitations? Friends Facebook photos showing the two of you together? Written evidence from other family members...
-
We "self applied" - maybe this info could be added to the spreadsheet?

He only used it once every couple of weeks, unless he's in a room where there are cats, in which case he's on it every ten minutes!
