Help! I have Pickfords coming next month and really need to know is my dog's used toys are a no no, or if I can go ahead and ship them. Please advise. Thanks, Jerry and Paul

I worked with a service user with CP who's family had moved to Australia and he went into care, after the mother tried to move them all out there. He was turned down for a Visa, I think for the reason you gave, about being a drain on the country's finances.

Thanks, that's brilliant. It will allow us to prepare a pack before we go. Much appreciated.

Hi All, we received our direct grants last week and are now in the process of selling the house, ready to move to ACT. Can anyone advise me of what will be required by way of paperwork by the letting agents out there, and if there are any you would recommend? Thanks, Jerry and Paul x

Great news NeelD. You won't be long now then.

Hi All, We received confirmation this morning that we have received direct grant 190 visas, and obviously we could not be happier. I just want to give a big shout out to Go Matilda who supported us through the process. The staff were supportive, patient and understanding, and explained each step as we approached it. Alex was especially good humoured when receiving my constant " WHERE IS MY VISA??!!" emails. Great company, highly recommended. Jerry and Paul.

Thanks NeelD, hope you are soon. We will sell the house and then move. Hope all goes well for you.

Visas granted this morning. <sings> "I haven't stopped dancing yet!"

Thanks for the links guys! x

Good grief, this waiting game is a drag, isn't it?

I had a book with a DVD - sold it now, sorry. My only issue was with the clarity of the recordings. I passed but did struggle to hear properly. Good luck. x

We have been contacted by TORFX following an enquiry to fly our dog to Australia with PetAir. Has anyone else used them? Would you reccomend them?

We are with Go Matilda. They have been brilliant. I don't know if it has slowed things down or not.

Thanks Usman, I am really hoping so.

Jonord1 and Breezer, the is so much for your posts. We are awaiting 190 Visas to move to Canberra from the UK and are so excited about finally getting over. Your words have made us even more enthusiastic about things,
