Hi Julie, we booked through an agent, and incidentally our ticket has a return element, which apparently was a requirement of booking a business class outward ticket, and it cost less than a single journey
-
Looking good, the signs of journeys end! This will be us in 12 days as our removers are in!! Also flying Emirates with chauffeur pick up, so sat here a distinct shade of green today @HARLEYDPHIL ! Safe trip, good news about the dogs arrival, if not the fact they have the Oz twang so quickly!!

A thought for the weekend, as we sit in the waiting room together!

Hi Julie, we sold up last August, and fortunately for us one of Karen's work colleagues has a flat on Ipswich marina, where we have been staying since we sold. However we reached the end of our tether once January and February slipped by, as this is when we originally thought we would get our visa's. Alas, here we are still waiting, and why we fly out on 1st June, as we decided better waiting in Oz, than Ipswich. We already have a small run about car in Oz, and yesterday took delivery of these bad boys! A little indulgence! Story is I bought Karen some private plates for her 40th, and as part of the process, we sold these recently. So I surprised her buy buying the same number for her car in Oz! A bit of home from home :-)

I forgot to add, whilst waiting the pond v dollar has moved closer to 2-1 again [h=3]Latest Exchange Rates: 1 British Pound Sterling = 1.97733 Australian Dollar[/h]

Nothing is going to rain on our parade now, Less than 3 weeks till we arrive, and if it takes another 1-3 months so be it, I guess if they have unprecedented numbers, then they can only do what the can only do, as disappointing is for us all. Like many, when we started the process, it was anticipated 18-24 months, and I guess this is why we are feeling it now, as its looking 24 months plus. We thought we might have had this concluded by January this year. Come Xmas, many will sit back and not care that it took so long, even if right now, like us, we are chomping at the bit, because we cant do any forward planning for jobs etc etc.

I refer to my previous post about what are the consequences of going over 24 months!
-
Team talks? What are the consequences of going over 2 years? If nothing other than amending time scales on emails, and web sites, I'm not so sure anyone is that concerned by the 2 year rule. As had been said many times on the forum, they have an unprecedented number of applications to assess, and I'm certain they are working hard to get these done.

Feels good this morning, even though been up since 4am!! Hopefully my lad can get this done asap, and then whenever it's our turn, everything should be all lined up for them.

Nice surprise this morning, I have the AOS letter! :biglaugh:

Cheers Joe, we will be in Lockridge initially, staying with son and partner
-
Not only waiting for case officer, which will happen when it happens, but fed up with no responses from anyone in Oz who I email not bothering to reply, these include but not limited to Estate Agents, Driving Instructors, Private health Care Providers, does no one want our business!! (Mild rant over!) :biglaugh:
-
As I sit here in the waiting room, I came across the following picture, and thought I'd share it........ I am sure we all know how big Australia is, but when I saw this, it made me realise I don't know just how BIG!
-
Looking at the positives!

Hi @Sadge, me neither, I just googled and copy n pasted the one above
