Hi Zoe and Cheekymonkey
We moved in July last year. How are you settling in and where did you end up living?
I'd be up for a coffee sometime if local to me (Mordialloc) as always looking to increase my social circle (as much as I can with 2 young kids anyway!)
cheers
Wahoo! Have woken up this morning to an email from my CO stating they are ready to grant my visa and arrange to go offshore. So chuffed. 8 months and 2 weeks.
When I applied the fees were in sterling on the London embassy site but just had a quick look and now it seems to be pointing you towards the immi.gov.au site
yep, went into my bank and asked for a bankers draft made out to whoever it says make it out to and sent it with my paperwork. Can't remember if payment came out when draft drawn up or when it was banked by Australia house.
Cool and so good docs do not need to be certified. I've got everything just might need to wait a while for my mates to get stat decs witnessed so would upload after my application. That is of course if I need to do it at all. Hoping my offshore app will be approved soon.
Did you have prescription medication sent over? It's crazy how much some meds cost here. The in laws have asked for a shopping list for their next visit and you've just reminded me of what I can stick on it.
Finally I bothered to research properly ...
