Hi everyone, I’m a bit late in posting this as we applied a while ago, but wanted to share our info. I’m the Brit and my wife is an Aussie who has been in the UK for over 5 years (currently waiting for her UK citizenship to come through). We’ve been living together for nearly 4 years and married for 18 months. The plan is to move to Melbourne in the new year, hopefully around 20th Jan. We still have loads to do like sell our flat, book flights, organise shipping etc so it’s going to be a busy 3 or 4 months!
