I highly recommend Opal relocations if they cover the area you are going to. Speak to Shelley, Google Opal relocations in Brisbane. Using her has cost axsmall amount and she has been amazing, taking away a lot of stress. Worth every penny. Give her a call or email and see what she can do for you. They are also on Facebook.

We have 189 PR visa's but I've just had to renew my daughters passport (in the UK). Can anyone tell me which form I need to complete to give immigration my daughters new passport details. I have looked online but can't see it anywhere. Thank you

We have been granted 189 visa's but my daughter needs a new passport. I'm going to apply for this now but what do I need to do in relation to our visa. Anything??? Presume visa is linked to this current passport. Thank you for any help x

Yes Lisa we are the same happy people.....it's you soon!

We had 70 points under software engineer. Thank you, big smiles in this house tonight......and prosecco!

Well I got the golden emails today!!!!! 189 visas granted and I am sooooooo happy. I submitted 6th July so all those around this date, you shouldn't have long now!!!!!

Well if its down to luck, I'm going to be waiting a while......only seem to have rotten luck!!!!

Were under software engineer & I'm praying there's an email tomorrow or that's another week without it!!!!!!

You have me looking at new areas now fish01!!!!!!!

I'm the same as you glow1. EOI invite 6th July, visa submitted 7th July with medicals and police checks uploaded straight away.....but not heard anything!!!! Really pleased for you though. Hoping it's soon for us with your dates being similar to ours.....espcially as I'm fed up of the kids asking me every day!!!

I am also being bombarded with emails and calls from companies that PSS have passed my info on to. So they have lost my business!!!

Anyone from July submission got a CO yet??????

Fabulous help there for many of us. Thank you particularly kevsan that was a very helpful list.

Thank you captain. Is this just a spreadsheet for those that have had a CO assigned? We aren't on there and hoping it's just because there's no CO assigned. Thank you. X

Where do I find the spreadsheet you refer to? I haven't heard of this before.

Do you not need ambulance cover in Queensland then? The website for Medicare seems to suggest ambulance cover is needed separately

Thank you Pommie

Can anyone give me an idea as to whether Australian car insurance is generally the same as UK prices or will we find it is cheaper/dearer. Thank you

You pay when you submit your visa application all in one amount. The second instalment is just for something to do with non English applicants (I think). I've not had to pay that, just the whole amount at the visa submission x good luck x

Brilliant that's really helpful thanks pommie.:wink:

What does it mean when an agent says the sellers are looking for £xxx for a house, but they are still 'under contract'. I had thought it was like our 'under offer' and a sale was going through, but not sure its the same thing now. Thank you

Well done guys.......let the wait commence!

Well done JonSmile, thats quick...but great news

I really must stop looking at houses and Google Earth now!!!!!

Only live once!!!
