  1. I wish someone would calculate the cost of training the nurses, doctors, teachers and other highly qualified people that Australia has not had to pay for!
  2. Didn't someone say 1/9??? I'm looking out for THE email everyday.
  3. You have made my day!!!! I am one month behind you, maybe we have moved on!!!! Congratulations, please keep us posted.
  4. Can anyone remember how long we have been stuck on July 15 applications? Just trying to guestimate how much longer before request for medicals and police checks! Has anyone ever been refused a 2nd 600 visa, when applying from the UK? (Planning to return early May, after being out of the country for 6months). Did we ever reach any conclusion on the AoS Bond, my agent says that they scrapped the increase.
  5. As previously, stated, most people who, apply for this visa have other income. I too can understand the governments reluctance to supply "Free" healthcare to people have not paid into the system. Would it not be a better idea to make it a condition of the Visa that, parents maintain private healthcare? And receive, the appropriate tax relief? OK this would be expensive, but maybe our offspring could chip in in return for Childcare? This may also reduce the numbers of people applying. Speaking of Swings and roundabouts, I have provided Australia with a fully qualified teacher and fully trained Mental health Nurse, most of the children who we are wanting to join have are highly qualified, and University educated, for which we as parents have made sacrifices. These qualifications, which, have cost the Australian government nothing, are benefiting the economy. Cake and eat it spring to mind! Also as Cat Lady says we will be contributing in a variety of other ways.

    Hi I lodged Sept 15, based on your calculations any idea when I could expect any news?

    thanks

  7. Please post how you get on. Mine was refused, even though I didn't have the no further stay on my 600. I have also been advised by the agent and the 600 helpline not to apply for another 6 months????? Currently on the Gold Coast. 143 Lodged 3/9/15 still waiting.
  8. No news, I am a bit in front of you. 3/9/15 have resigned myself that I will be lucky to hear anything before Christmas!
  9. No I did not have the 8503 condition attached to my Visa, my agent told me that it wasn't a given, that I would be able to come back I so decided to apply for an extension, shot myself in the foot. Will reapply 6 months after I get home. No news on Police checks etc!
  10. Hi, I am currently in Oz on a600 which, expires 28/10 I applied for an extension, which was denied, but not before I had paid $360 to apply. I now have to come home and apply for another in 6 months. Submitted 143 in September 15 like everyone else I have not heard anything! Anyone any idea, when I might be advised to apply for Police checks etc???
  11. Hi, I lodged September 15, still not heard anything, hoping to hear before the end of the year. think I'm looking at 4 years from start to finish.
  12. Hi, Has anyone applied for an extension of a 600 Visa, whilst in Australia, had it refused, then applied whilst back in UK and had it granted? I have to leave Australia 28/10. A few evenings ago there was an article on the Project regarding Partner Visas, which are apparently taking 2 years plus to process, I have emailed them explaining the plight of the Parent Visa, if anyone else wanted to do this it may raise our profile???? I lodged my Visa Sept 15 and like everyone else, have heard nothing. Thanks I
  13. Hi Bridgie, Did you have your three 600 visa's consecutively? I am currently in Oz on one which, expires 28/10. Any advise, comments greatly appreciated.
  14. Hi,  

    Are there any September 15Lodgers out there, who have received request for medical/police checks?

    Currently in Australia on 600 since end of October, does anyone know if it is possible to extend?

    Thanks

  15. Travel Insurance, I am going out on Thursday on a 600 Visa and have used Big Cat Travel insurance - underwritten by AXA -quite reasonable.
  16. Hi. I am now 22months into my CPV application, like many others at the time of application I was told it was 18-24months. My only daughter is expecting her first baby in Jan, so with a view to getting a 600 I booked a one way flight for end of October, thinking this would give me a bit of leeway, before the CPV was granted. Only to receive the news a couple of days later, that, processing time had gone up to 39months. I will have to rent out my house to finance the time I am unable to work. I am very confused over the 600, can you apply for an extension, can you apply for a 3 month tourist visa? My son has applied for his 890(?) visa, so chances are he will be there in Spring 18. I will have nothing and no one to come back to UK for. Any commiserations, comments will be gratefully received! Thanks
  17. No problem, AMP, but if someone could answer my query regarding extended 12 month tourist visa, I would be grateful. Thanks
  18. Hi, I am confused, I am planning to go to Oz on an extended tourist Visa for 12 months, will I be able to go "offshore" after 11 months and then be eligible for another 12 months. Thanks
  19. Hi, I am also planning the move on my own. I applied for my Visa Sept 15 and plan to out Sept 17 on an extended tourist visa, and hope the CPV is granted within this time frame. I will have to rent my house out in order to fund my life in oz. Heading for the Gold Coast
