Can anyone recommend a good company who can arrange to ship my dog back.  Want to get her on the same flight back with us when we book tickets home but just not sure who to use hear in Perth!

Does anyone know if my son will have to take another driving test in the uk. He's driving around now on his p plates here in WA?

Great post!!  Not looking forward to the cold when we go back next year that's the one big thing I will miss!!  Already heard coffee is bad there lol my sons went back in January and said the same thing!!!!

Have you bought a house in Glasgow now or renting?  I nearly fell off my chair when I looked at house prices in Swindon where we want to go back to!!!

Hi VeryStormy we'll stay with the in laws until we can buy a house!  Are you glad you moved back?  How long were you here for? Both my kids are on board one being 16 the other 18 so that's a relief!  Did you lose a lot on your house?

Hi we've just decided we're all going to move back to the UK beginning to mid next year but I am feeling stressed already as don't know where to start first!   Have house, cars and boat to sell, furniture to ship, dog to sort out too!  I think we should put our house up for sale now and rent as could take a while to sell in this market but hubby says no he'd rather just rent for a couple of weeks after house sells so not to put it up yet........ I just feel it would all be too much to do at last minute!!!!!!!  Any advice!!!

Did Chess pack everything for you too for that price?

Hi does anyone know if i can get my kids qualifications transferred to uk equivilent?  One has a business diploma and my other kid has certs in a couple of things but have no idea if we move back whether they will be any good over there?

Hello does anyone know if I can get my son's Australian business diploma qualification transferred to a UK qualification?  Also they both my kids have certs any ideas how i can transfer them too?  Thinking about moving back but worried as oldest son is almost 19! 

Does anyone know if I can fly my 12 year old healthy dog back to the uk?

Hey guys I'm asking for a friend who wants to bring her mum here from the uk she's 86 and has no family in the uk to look after her so they want to bring her here. Any ideas how and easiest/quickest way to get her here. Their daughter is an RN and they know they have to pay all her medical bills which is no problem they just want her here. Is it possible to get her here on a holiday visa then apply for a last remaining family visa but in the mean time get a bridging visa?

What if you've left bank accounts open still in uk and still have a valid uk visa would'nt that count for anything?

Woo hoo not long now!

We come under Armadale council will be curious to see how long Cannington's citizenship ceremony takes! We've just done our test on the 26th May now just have to wait!

Hey dubsydney am I right in saying it took 6 weeks after sending in paper application to get a confirmation? I did a paper application 3 weeks ago was getting a bit worried as everyone else does theirs online!

Has anyone posted their application? I did just wonder how much longer it takes!

Hey guys do you know if you can scan in all documents at once or do you have to do each one separately for the citizenship form?

Hey does anyone know if you're supposed to put your uk national insurance number on q21 of the form 1300t. it says have you ever had any national identity documents, numbers, social security etc

Thanks! I thought I had to get police checks before I send off the 1300t form!!

Hey guys do we need to attach anything for the good character section when doing the citizenship forms if we have no convictions etc etc?

I'm curious too as starting ours now!!

I just gave my info as we didn't have to rent a place we stayed with my sister in law! But Marisa I'm sure the person asking wouldn't forget to add in an airfare etc

Hi there we migrated as a family of 4 in 2012 and the cost for us was about 5K british pounds to do all the visa stuff etc and that was for a permanent residency! The dog cost us around 3 1/2 K (but wasnt going to leave her!) And it was a few thousand cant quite remember exactly how much to bring our things over! We also bought our car over which ended up not being as bad as I thought cost wise! My kids were 12 and 14 when we came here and have settled really well!

I flew to Singapore and Bali with Garuda and they were really good! I know they fly to Europe might be worth checking..

I heard they were going to make you choose one way or the other eventually!
