I havn't been on here for a while as my 309 was granted November and moved over to Aussie straight away. Been here almost 6 months now and enjoying the sun. Just wanted to wish everyone who's waiting for their visas the best of luck with their move, it will be worth the wait. Also I used Seven Seas Movecube service to ship my stuff over and it was a great easy service so worth considering if you have stuff to move. Best of luck to you all with your new lives!!!

Congratulations!!!! How exciting!! I can barely wait, i'm coming up for 5 months in a few days. What are your plans now Vixenpops?
-
oh my gosh!!! I am so pleased for you! How exciting! I'm even more excited now knowing that you have recieved yours at the 5 month mark. Hopefully mine will turn up on the 25th!!! eeekkkkk
-
I'm looking forward to you getting yours as i applied 10 days after you. We both have LG. Fingers crossed for soon!

I'm sooooo excited that we are now onto May grants!!! I applied May 25th so not too much longer to go now! LG told me I would defo have my visa by the 12th November as we already have flights booked, not much over 4 weeks away and lots to do and people to say goodbye to. Just packing up all our stuff now, booked a Movecube with sevenseas, anyone used this service?

Hey AussieinEngland and dianaos, I also filed in May (25th) and have LG. I have been in touch as have booked flights for the 12th November, and she says she will ensure my visa is granted on time. She's been great everytime i've contacted her, and so quick to reply so i'd send her an email AuusieinEngland just sp you can relax a bit. Good luck!

Unfortunately no matter how simple the case is they stick to the time indicated so if they said 6-8 months it will be granted within that timeframe, not earlier. You can go on a tourist visa but then you can't work and can only stay in oz for 3 months at a time so would need to go off somewhere for a few days and then come back. you would also need to be offshore when the visa is granted. So if you can afford all the flights and live on one persons wage it's definitely the way to go if you don't want to be apart! Good luck.

Hey Vixenpops, I applied 25th May so due end of October. I emailed my CO who is LG and said can I book flights for 10th November, replied saying yes I can apply for dates after this date and they will make sure my visa is granted in time, but to let her know the details. I have now booked flights for the 12th November, which I confirmed with LG and was told this is fine and visa will be granted!! wooooo just to get everything else ready now! Thats only 9 weeks away!!
-
good luck!!
-
CO told me it was ok to book flights so i've done it! Flying out to Oz on 12th November. She said my visa will be granted by then. I hope so, 5 months would be end of October Good luck to all those who are due now, fingers crossed lots are granted this week!!!

Congratulations Wardie, i'm really really pleased for you, gave me a huge smile to read this!
-
I loved reading this. I also have LG and submitted my application for a 309 on the 25th May so hopefully I can do this too
-
Thanks for that George, I can't stop worrying about how to get our stuff there and us lol relief to know it'll be ok to ship our things. As for flights I guess we shall have to cope with the limited bag allowance. Sucks as we have an 8 month old baby boy whom has soooo much stuff, most of which we would like to have as soon as we get to Oz, i'm thinking we may have to spend the extra and fly emirates. Anyone have experience of flying with awkwardly aged children? lol.

Hi guys, Just looking at shipping and getting migration flights. All things seem to point to these extra baggage flights being available to people who have unused permanent visas. I'm due to get a 309 which is a temporary visa, so does that mean I will have issues with shipping my household goods and getting these cheaper flights with extra allowance?? Anyone had any experience? Cheers.

If you have LG I was told AB is looking after her case load while she's away. Maybe try them?
-
according to the spreadsheet k17 submitted 29/5, so im now worried since i applied 25/5
-
We havn't lived together since May 2011 as we were in separate countries hasn't been a problem for our visa application.
-
Oh no that sucks! LG told me to contact AB if i had any urgent queries. So i assume AB is covering LG while on holidays. So hopefully it'll still go through on time.
-
LG is away until the 20th August
-
Bugger. I have LG too and she told me October/November so was hoping for end of October latest, but judging by all you guys its probably gonna be end of November. hmmm what to do.
