Thanks Pablo, might have to go down a similar route ourselves.

Did you just give details of job offer, nothing else, take it you need to be there with in the year then, have you got a date for starting new job. Good luck with everything. Debbie

Thank you, I'm curios as our visa runs out this September and with my three 18 yrs olds not wanting to go and starting uni this year, if we could get an extra year then me and hubby could get the kids settled in uni and think of going over next year. My hubby has three cousins who have lived and worked in oz for a number of years now, this would be our only way of an extension if that would be possible. Debbie

What would be counted as showing close ties, if you don't mind me asking. Debbie

Thanks Pablo, we have no ties to oz only visited three times in last three years, lol. Oh well have another 12 months, just see what happens.

Hi Pablo, do you mind me asking how you got a one year extension/RRV, our visa up next year but with personal things going on, not been able to make the move, would love to try get an extra year if we could.

Me and hubby heading out to Oz again in August for another holiday but seeing as though we won't have the kids this time thought we would stay over a couple of nights in Singapore. Can anyone recommend a nice hotel which won't break the bank, lol. Debbie

Glad to see things are heading in the right direction for you Tasha. When do you think you will be heading over to oz and is your eldest going to be joining you. Debbie

Thank you.

Thanks for that, I was aware they couldn't get a loan, not too worried about that, it's the fees that worry me as international fees are extortionate. So I'll be ok to enter 6 months before they start university?

We have our PR visa and have done for 3.5 years but due to personal circumstances have not been able to make the move earlier, my dilemma now is that my children are nearly 6 months into their A levels and I want them to finish them here in the UK as I know at the age of 17 they are too old to go into yr 11/12 in Oz. My question is as we will hopefully be arriving in Oz a few months before our 5 year PR is up, will university fees be classed as domestic or international, not sure if there is some kind of rule about being in the country a couple of years before starting uni to qualify for domestic fees. Depending on the answer could very well determine if we are to come over at all. Hope someone can help? Debbie

My heart goes out to you and your family, such a tragic loss, safe flight back to UK and thinking of you all xxx

All 5 of you have to enter Australia to validate your visas. Debbie

I know you've been inundated, but could you pm me too. Thans. Debbie

Sorry for the late reply Davo1, our producers were fantastic but really hard work, didnt give in and kept pushing us until we said what they wanted to hear (for good tv viewing I suppose). I wouldnt have given up the opportunity for anything but then saying that I wouldnt do it again, didnt realise how hard and tiring it was going to be. Well too late now, we will have to see how they make us all look, good I hope, but hey ho, cant change it now, it all over and done with. Debbie xx
