  1. How exciting for you Mozza. It will be all go from now on I suspect. Only just started on our journey. So many questions buzz around, like Medicare, private medical insurance etc. but we have nearly sorted out the pensions/drawdowns, so that is a relief. so we will also have about a fifteen month wait, but it would be nice to have had an acknowledgement, apart from the money being taken. C.:dull:
  2. Hi, RR. I'm into freecycling and charity shops, plus of course eBay (OT's domain!). Had success with 'freegle'. We wonder whether to try and sell early on and then rent, but I suppose that is a bit risky, in case the visa's are not granted! With our past experience of house selling, the last time it took ages, probably due to the market at the time. However, as you have said it seems to be picking up now. best wishes and good luck with your local tip boss!! Caro:wink:
  3. What wonderful news for you RR. When do you hope to move, and to where? Decluttering is quite therapeutic, we have started VERY early, due mainly to stuff inherited which we should have disposed of in previous moves, but sometimes there is an emotional attachment to things, and you have to just let go. All the best of luck. Caro
  4. Thanks for your reply Rowley. See what you mean about form 80!! And a lot of the info.has already been given. I notice you say your acknowledgement letter was DATED the 12th so maybe ours is in the post somewhere. I did read somewhere a few weeks ago that acknowledgement letter were in the process of being sent out, so will have to wait and see. Sometimes there seems to no regular pattern. Regards Caro:smile:
  5. Hello rowleyrocket. What good news for you, apart from having to fork the money, but we are all in the same boat! Please can you tell me when you actually lodged your 143 application? I am finding the 'timelines' people put on very helpful. I just wish I knew how to do it!! Showing my advanced years I'm afraid. Thanks C.
  6. Hi there, not sure whether to call you 'brummie babies' or Angie & Ted?! I see that your application was lodged on 6/6/11 and acknowledged on the 10th June 2011. I'm slightly worried because even though the first VAC has come off the credit card, we have not had an acknowledgement yet. We lodged in June 2013. I fully realise that these things take a long time and am prepared for the wait, but wondered what your secret is for your acknowledgement to only take 4 days.:rolleyes: Can you also tell me what is a form 80 referred to by Rowleyrocket today? Perhaps I'll ask her. All the best, C.
  7. Hi there, another newby. I put in an application for a 143 (old persons cont. visa!) in June, so we won't hear anything for a very long time. I did look at the 600 visa, but they only talk about people waiting on the 103 visa (don't know which it is). So haven't done anything as I don't want to mess the 143 application. Do find the immigration info. Difficult to understand sometimes, and I like to think that I am fairly with it! My daughter has PR so effectively there would not be any probs. Thanks for listening to my ramblings.
