Do both parents have to be 65+ to apply for the 804? Phoebe

Thankyou all for your kind messages. He's had bloods done today, Enteroscopy soon and appointment with his consultant 20th November for results. Will keep you posted Phoebe

Thanks Mike Phoebe

Hi Everyone I have a personal question to ask to those of you who maybe have/are going through this ATM After a nightmare 17 months with my health I'm finally coming to the end of it just one more (hopefully) big 'tricky' op but at least nothing sinister was found Couple of months ago hubby started having some problems various tests etc, he got a letter this morning to say they have found a 2cm 'mass' in his bowel so has to go for a specialized blood test (he's going tomorrow) and something called an Enteroscopy so they can take a biopsy. Lymphoma is also mentioned in his consultants letter. It's really shaken both of us of course it may be nothing 'sinister' please god but we have to prepare ourselves. I can't believe that after almost finally getting hubby round to my way of thinking this has happened. He's even been looking at places to settle, house prices etc and getting excited about our next visit so we can have a good look around see what might suit us best. I just don't know what to do. Has anyone been in this position? Is it worth even continuing to get my hopes up or do I just forget the whole thing? Advice would be most welcome. Thanks Phoebe

So sorry to hear that. It makes me soooo :mad: when these toerags are too dam lazy to do any work and think it's their right to take what you have worked so hard for. Where abouts are you? Phoebe
-
Ha ha I didn't see the PS :tongue: Phoebe
-
I have also read recently that the time you are on the 103 is taken into account when you decide to 'upgrade' so always worth getting your name down :yes: Phoebe
-
Have you checked how long the waiting list is on the 103? When I checked around 2 years ago it was 15 years :swoon: And that's how I read the 'five year thing' too.... Phoebe
-
Thanjs Libday. Knew it couldn't be that easy :swoon: Phoebe
-
Sure this will have been asked before but I've been looking at the sub class (residents) aged parents visa (804) and can't see an age criteria.......am I missing something? Phoebe

Has anyone who has already made the move had any experience with Renting/Leasing/Buying a small piece of land in central Queensland? Thinking of maybe semi rural. Phoebe

I'm ok with figures/money but can never get my head around tax :swoon: Im in the same bracket as Gill should have received my pension January 2013 but have to work another 3 years now :cry: how does this UPP work exactly and how do you go about it. The 'idiots guide' is preferred :biglaugh: Phoebe
-
Thanks for that info Gill. I have to say all the questions I've emailed to NAB have been answered promptly. I already have a UBank account in my daughters name thankfully I can trust her 100% :yes: and use it for Xmas/birthday presents pocket money etc and like you said a high interest rate :smile: I made my first forex transfer to the new NAB iSaver and all went smoothly so just need to keep an eye on the exchange rate in the vain hope the $ will rise :swoon: Phoebe
-
That's great news Kim :biggrin: I know I'm jumping the gun a bit because hubby hasn't made the decision yet :swoon:.....must be the excitement of getting the bank accounts so easily :jiggy: To those of you who are still in the UK but have applied for a 173/143 and have an Aussie bank account.....were you able to pay the VAC through your ordinary Aussie bank account? Phoebe
-
If I can persude hubby that's the route we will take :yes: We tried the 143 route couple of years ago only to have to send our CO back due to lack of funds :cry: Phoebe
-
It's always best. Good Luck stay in touch it''s always nice to see how people are doing :cute: Phoebe
-
Hi Dave Val is absolutely right I'm afraid but as she said the time will go very quickly :smile: It's surprising how much time you will need for meds police checks declutering etc etc :swoon: Welcome to PIO you couldn't have a better place to find out all you need to know. We are all in this together :yes: Which part are you heading to? Phoebe
-
Thanks for the heads up. They opened the account at the main Surfers Paradise branch, I emailed to ask if we could produce ID at the Robina branch lit closer to my daughter and got a prompt reply to say no problem just contact them couple weeks before we go over and they will send the paperwork to that branch. Forex account set up and ready to to I could get used to this level of service :smile: Phoebe
-
Emailed NAB bank to verify accounts as non residents and they are happy to go ahead Well that was pretty painless Phoebe
-
Bl**dy H*ll that 2 weeks went quick just got an email with my NAB bank details :swoon: Phoebe
-
Do you know if there was any difference in interest rates? Phoebe
-
Well I've applied to NAB for a Classic and iSaver they say I will hear in 2 weeks. I'll keep you all up to date in case anyone else needs the info. Phoebe
-
Thanks again girls I can look into that more closely when I've got an account sorted. Over 55....retirement...I wish they've stuck another 3 years on my retirement age like I havnt worked long enough :swoon: Phoebe
-
Can I just ask you ladies another question re banking in Oz. did you just open the classic account or the retirement one (for over 55's) Phoebe

Waiting to see Neuro Surgeon next sick of feeling like there's a grape stuck in my throat!! At least I now know there's nothing 'sinister' going on there so that's good news. Phoebe
