Good luck I go back next week for good can't wait after ten years here and a 19 marriage down the drain.lost my house,kids, job and to top it all off my dog had to go because I was homeless

Sent you a pm

Already got a RRV about 4 yrs left on it thanks for the replys just wandered if anyone had done the test offshore and returned for the ceremony.

Hi guys can I sit the citizenship test in London UK then fly back for the ceremony as I need to go back to UK urgently as my 19 yr marriage has hit the wall and will soon be homeless.and my elderly mum isn't doing too well so it would be nice too see her after being in SA for 9 yrs this January cheers all.

It was my dream.... But life got in the way!and ended up someone else's dream.

Pros.. Are your more likely to get the visa you want!

cons are your wallet will feel a bit less lighter!up to you and good luck

I might add follow your instinct.and don't wollow in the past.break ups happen in every country.some more here though with migrants.its no good dwelling in a mates place, though sometime good, it's not long term.go where ever your support is ie family and put your feet up and evaluate your situation without stress of money worries or commitments until you are ready to.

Hot spud,you sound just like me. You have written exactly what I am going through.if it helps you are not alone in your predicament.I and friends are going through the same. Weird I know,i am going back to the UK on my own,I came here with my wife of 17yrs and three great kids, but leaving on my own.I know it sounds selfish but I have to do it for my own sanity. I have to regroup so to speak and like you I don't have the support here needed for that. Thus I am going back to stay with my brother and parents.dont feel ashamed in doing what feels best for you.i always thought about everyone else but for now it's me time.always pm if you like,a problem shared is a problem halved. All the best

Are your power tools running on 110v? if they are get rid and just bring your cordless gear and hand tools.

If the car has been sold, I feel sorry for the buyer as it could be confiscated by the debt company.then you will have the buyer knocking on his door.

I am absolutely over f@$$@$!joyed at the result...it's like a big cloud has lifted.I am loving watching tony Blair, Alistair Campbell etc etc on the verge of tears who where the" coordinators" of the reasons why the majority wanted to leave.so so happy knowing I can return now knowing the issues that made me come here in the first place will be addressed. Always look on the bright side of life.. Du..du......du..du..du..dudu:wink:

Thanks aj for the reply I just can't find the costings on the border control website for the kids prices, no worries I am going to immigration on Monday before my op this Tuesday.just got email that the op is on Tuesday hoorah.its such a weight off my shoulders knowing that.

I don't think it works like that. The guy was white. You don't blame all white people. But you do blame all far right nut jobs. If you are embarrassed about being a member, then maybe an inward look is overdue.

 

 

And of course the irony is that a large number of those terrorist attacks, if not the majority were committed by the far right.

I am white but not far right in thinking just concerned that's all.is that inward look as you say applicable too all?.

There's the rub! It is very hard to have an intelligent debate on immigration without some nutjob with a skinhead and swastika tats grinning madly and gesturing to come aboard the hate boat.

its not all skinheads and swastikas, like all the left don't wear masks and hoodies.

Majority killed by the far right?i think you need your pills.and watch the news more carefully.

Shocking news.

Seemingly this lady was murdered by a British First right wing extremist.

Highlighting the sad death of a woman going about her job for political point scoring is pretty sad.as in why say he was far right?he maybe was but do not tarnish everyone who has a leaning to right wing thinking.like anyone with the right mind wouldn't blame all Muslims for all the terrorist attacks in the last two decades. And sadly there has been a lot of those around the world in the name of......!

Hi people,I am wanting to return to the UK soon but my PR visa ran out 3 years ago.i am filling out the Rrv forms for myself and I know the costing for myself ($360). But two of my kids want to come with me while my partner stays here with our younger child.i cannot find the costings regarding the kids.

this will be my first trip back 'been here 8 and half years'and it's long overdue to go back.i have been desperately homesick for a few years now.i have a operation on my arm soon and won't be able to work for a couple of months(carpenter) So I am going to use this time off to do a recce on the place with a possibility to return for good.sorry for digressing. I could say heaps more. Maybe later when I get my mental fix,thanks for reading hope someone on here can let us know

The bookies are still predicting Remain vote to win.

The icm poll has leave seven points in front.GOOD out out out

Basically I just want a adventure where I can look back at my daughter and say remember that trip. For all its trials and tribulations.

Nah just a supercharged 6.2 adventra with all the bells and whistles. Thirsty for the trip I know but I will take fuel and provisions with us. But I also don't want to plan it to much I just want to go for it and meet the obstacles on the way.

V8 AWD, Volvo XC90?

Lots to see on the way.

Fill the tank before turning off for Uluru and bring some extra to get back to the highway. Back to Alice via Kings Canyon is another option. Better than Uluru imo.

Cheers for the reply mate any advice is welcome

Thinking of just jumping in the car it's a v8 awd and just going for it my Aussie mates look at me and say I am crazy but would love to do it.i am crazy and just do things on impulse. My oldest daughter who is 17 is up for it. Sod it I am going for it and the adventure and look back on the trip as a crazy one but hey life is for living.

Anyone on here who has driven it in a car?. Tell me the downfalls and good times please

Yes, well, the Hawaiian flag has the Union Flag incorporated into it as well. Last I checked, we had pretty stringent migration rules for Americans, as well.

Your argument's really very futile.

Last time I checked the Union Jack wasn't on the USA flag ... Futile lol try again!

Thanks all.

 

So me, the Brit, not being settled in the UK yet seems to be the issue! How frustrating that as a British citizen I cannot bring my partner who I am marrying within a month of being home with me...so complicated!

 

Does anyone know whether he would need to be out of the EU entirely to apply for the visa...I'm thinking if we got married in the UK on a tourist visa/marriage visa then he could head to another european country while we apply for the spousal visa and then come back in the meantime while we await the decision....might that work? Or could we just apply for a normal partner defacto visa if there is such thing rather than a marriage/spousal one?

 

Worst case scenario looks like we'd have to get married in the UK on a tourist visa then he'd have to head back to Aus after our honeymoon in order to apply for the visa and have proof of flights back out of the UK so they could see he wouldn't be staying without a visa and border control wouldn't get their knickers in a twist.

 

Thanks so much for all your help!

I'm not sure on the legalities of your predicament. But for sure it stinks.like others have said trace his ancestry or have the money or the job that qualifies him good luck.

my post earlier was about the absurdity of the system when economic migrants /asylum seekers can just rock up from Europe ,Africa Asia,and get helped out.last time I looked the Aussie flag still had the Union Jack.hope it all works out for you.
