There are folks on here whos hearts are breaking because they cant afford the second vac payment,there are folks who would travel in the hold to be able to see their relatives,folks who are desperate to sell there houses in a depressed market,to have to buy in a rising one just to get to OZ and you complain about having to wait 15 mins from your flat bed for a drink,ever wondered where the phrase wingeing POM comes from, you will really fit in well in Australia good luck. Mike.

There are a lot of people who dislike a lot of things but if it is a means to an end then at least consider it,we are all heading for a totally life changing experience so we need to be somewhat flexible in both our views and plans. Lots of things change aswe sail through life and we have got to adapt things to cope with them not throw the towel in at the first obstacle. Cheers and good luck with your plans Mike.

You dont have to buy, bank the cash at 6% and rent,or leave most of it here and still rent,Im sure you could find some type of small job to help,we are all in the same boat the rate was 2.4 when we started out on the journey but hey ho ###t happens,keep going. cheers Mike.
-
We all know what things have been,we all think we know what things could be,we think we know what causes the problems and we think we know what will make things better. However one thing is certain we all have to cope with what is,we therefore may as well get on with it as cheerfully as is possible. Cheers. Mike.

:embarrassed: You can open a Oz bank acccount from the UK you have to be there to validate it and withdraw money you cant transfer cash straight to the DIAC. Just wondering how you could own a property in Sydney as British citizens ?? cheers Mike.
-
We are letting the kids buy the house and renting it back from them at a reduced rate which means we dont have to suffer the bad rate at the moment,however dont think it will ever get back to 2.4 which it was when we started planning this. cheers mike.

Our youngest son who is sponsoring us had had PR for only 6 months when we submitted our application,we took the view that by the time anyone looked at the file he would nave about 2years, However the file was picked up after only 7 months making it just 12 months he had had PR,he had been working as a doctor for the Queensland government for 5years before this and I do not know if this makes a difference.?? cheers Mike.
-
Thanks for the reply I never even considered driving licence,I think it is just the additional messing about that :jiggy:is getting to us,both our sons in OZ are doctors and they cant see a problem,they have both promised to keep me breathing until they find where the money is hidden . cheers Mike.
-
I dont think that the applications are actually read,or considered before a CO is asigned to the case they just bank the cash and file the application for future ref when the time comes.
