Hi there slightly different question. I have my visa and have been here for nearly 2 years. I have to go back to uk for a time. Maybe a year. Does anyone know if there is a time limit to how long you can be out of Oz once you have the visa. I can't find anything on the immigration website Many thanks moira Ruth

Hi I have been inOz for 15mths now and I plan to go back to UK for a holiday next year. I think I remember someone here saying that when we go back we can inform the pension people and claim the increases to the pension, just for the time we are in UK. I just wondered if anybody knew whether this was correct best wishes Moira

Hi there a friend wants to immigrate on a CPV 143, she has looked on line and says the the cost is £2,185.00, is this right? is the wait still 2 years? And does anybody know the wait for the visa that costs less but takes longer thanks Moira

Hi there I m not sure if I will return to UK to not yet. I came over on a parent visa. Does anyone know if I go back, are there any forms to fill in or anything official to be done. thanks Moira

Hi Lepa The panel doctor I saw sent the results of my medical to DIAC over the Internet. I think it took nearly 2 months before I heard that I had got my visa. I don't think there was a particular reason for them to take that long. It does end finally. best wishes Moira

Hi Cath My experience was that the Medical Centre I went to could not do it without the HAPD number (it was the centre in London). I had submitted a paper application to DIAS I do not know if that makes a difference. Given my time again I would phone around and find a centre that would do it early. Best wishes Moira

Thank you for the replies to my post. I feel reassured. I can't quite believe its happening, feel as if I am going on holiday. B it I will be glad when I get on that plane and the goodbyes are done. People ask if I am excited and I am sure I am but at the moment the goodbyes are uppermost. everyone okraeveryone okra

Hi Well I am finally off next Thursday. I have not had the visa put in my passport and just wondered if anyone knows whether Singapore or Hong Kong (the plane will be stopping at either one of these on the way out) require you to have something visible in your passport. I am taking the grant letter with me. I see there are lots of new names on the forum now - more people of to the good llife best wishes moira

Phoebe I am glad that the problem has been discovered, but 12mths waiting is awfule Your family must be missing you as well. Wishing you well and let us know what you decision is Moira
-
Phoebe Good to hear your news is good. It must be frustrating not to know what is causing the problem. I hope your future news is good. Does anyone know a good site about paying tax from Australia Best wishes Moira

I think I waited 6-8weeks but I was waiting for the medicals Good Luck Moira Oh I have just heard that they buyer for my flat has withdrawn. I have booked my flight for 21 March. Think I might rent it for a while
-
So pleased for you Ann. It does make handing over all that money seem like a relief. Best wishes to you Ann Moira
-
It took me 17mths. I think it would have been quicker but I did not get the medicals done before I had the case officer. But the 17mths from start to finish actually went quickly - as I look back on them. Best wishes for the future Moira
-
Thanks to everyone for your good wishes and support through the last 17mths. I received the visa 2days after paying the money. Am I right in remembering that to get a visa put in your passport it has to be sent to australian immigration in London, which dept did you send it to? Wishing you all the best Moira

Wishing everyone a good christmas. Yesterday I received the request for my final payment. Ouch - that amount of money. But money is there to buy what I want and I feel grateful that I have been able to get it together. I received my case officer on 5 October, medicals on the 10th October, the Panel Dr told me that Immigration would ask for further tests - so I worried, but no - no tests just asked for the money. I wont quite believe it until I have the email telling me I have the visa. But its a great christmas present. Ann - how did you get on with your case officer and the delay with your sons accounts? Will try to update the tracker now Best wishes to everyone Moira

Thats wonderful news Phoebe Thinking of you Moira
-
Thank you all for your support. It does make a difference. Ann I will be having my 2nd extension at the end of this week. Hope I dont set a record. Best wishes Moira
-
Yes it is confusing. I tried to get my medicals done before I had my case officer but the 2 clinics in London would not do it without the HAP number. So I had to wait until I had my case officer. She has told me that the medicals are sent to Sydney so she has no idea what is happening. Maybe its because I did my application on paper, maybe if I had emailed it in it would have been different, although I cant see how. Anyway - it has to happen in the end Moira
-
Congratulations Summerdaisy - thats wonderful news. I have had my case officer since 5 Oct and still now news on my medicals. My son spoke to her yesterday but she said she would give another extension and that medicals can take some time. How can it be so different for people? Still a game in patience. Best wishes Moira

So nearly 2mths Val. I have been waiting about 4wks and have emailed twice. As you may remember the Panel Doctor told me that they would ask me to have further tests and I thought they would ask for them within 2 wks but I must wrong. I keep hoping they wont as for further tests, although I had a course of antibiotics and I am now OK. Will let you know what happens If I remember correctly you are in Oz at the moment, hope you are having a great time Moira
-
Hi out there I am just wondering how long people waited after sending in medicals, forms and AOS being collected, before they heard about their visa? Many thanks Moira
-
Be thinking of you with all fingers crossed Moira

Dear Phoebe Just wanted to say how sorry I am to hear your news. I would keep going with your dream - I am praying that it will be solvable Love Moira
