  1. It may be different for each case, fingers crossed for you. I did keep sending emails though saying how worried I was as we had spent a lot of money and didn't even know if they had received our info. They obviously had but I just wanted written confirmation from an actual person not a computer generated response system! It won't be long at all, then the panic begins .... ;0) xx
  2. I called and said that we had uploaded the info requested and was worried that if it wasn't enough evidence for them that I would run out of the 28 day period allowed to upload, she said it wouldn't even be looked at before the 28 days and if it wasn't enough they would request something else and would have another 28 days to provide. Could be different for everyone, they are apparently snowed under with applications but I am quite sure they will get to you very soon. Turns out what I provided was enough anyway and got the grant. We got asked for info on 27/08/15 and got the grant on 09/10/15. Hope this helps xx
  3. Thankyou. It is isn't it. You will hear soon, I was told by Immi that any requested info doesn't even get looked at for 28 days which helped knowing that as it stopped me checking every morning!! Good luck. X
  4. Finally got our grant this morning!! Lodged 30th June. Good luck to those still waiting. X
  5. I'm still waiting :embarrassed: had co contact on 27th August, replied same day and still heard nothing at all. :mad:
  6. I lodged 30th June, had email from CO last thurs requesting permission from my sons father. He hasn't seen him in over 14 years so have explained this and also stated he has no parental responsibility by law, so I'm hoping that's enough. Waiting to hear back hopefully this week, if I don't I'll be calling to speak to someone. I also had a DD offence from 15 years ago :embarrassed: and came up on police check as no live trace, was clearly no problem as CO didn't mention anything about it.
  7. Yay, email from case officer this morning requesting one piece of information. Hopefully not long now. :cute:
  8. Thankyou, is prep the same as English reception class? If so then you are right it will be 2016!! Oh no was hoping to have her all to myself for a year.
  9. I agreed with everything bungo said, we are under no illusions that migrating is very expensive and that we will be taking a step back career wise and financially for a period of time, otherwise I wouldn't be selling my hair and beauty salon and my other half wouldn't be giving up his building business. we aren't going to australia to be better off financially we are both at a stage where we feel we would like an adventure and a chance to show our kids a different way of life. I just needed a little advice on what people thought about taking kids out of school and perhaps staying a few more months longer which would give us a very healthy addition to the pot of money we would come over with, but would perhaps affect the kids schooling.
  10. Thankyou ou this puts my mind at rest somewhat. I've tried to tell my son that he will be finding everything a bit easier to start with as he's already done a yr 10 here. I think he just wants to get to australia now he will go into any year! :cute:
  11. Going to queensland. Been looking and yes I think he will have to do year 10 onwards. My daughter is 5 next week so I don't think she starts school until jan 2017?! Does that sound right?
  12. Good points thankyou, especially taking dogs too.
  13. I absolutely agree with what you say and if I'm honest that's what I would prefer deep down. Just the temptation of going with a little extra money is clouding it at the moment, although the leap has to be taken at some point like you say. I feel it's a battle of head over heart. Thankyou for your honesty and advice. :0)
  14. Thankyou, we are heading to queensland, I have a feeling it will be year 10 then - bet that's going to go down well with him :wideeyed:.
  15. I feel exactly the same!! Good luck to you too, I'm sure everything will work out just as it's supposed to. :0)
