Sahew - depends on employment pathway really. If I transfer with my company, it will most likely be N. Sydney but if not, we have quite a long "short list" of places we would be happy settling - most likely somewhere on the boomerang coast with Adelaide and Brisbane being lower on the list. We have carried out two reccie visits and spent a fair amount of time travelling around - our view is that they all have their ups and downs and ultimately finding work will drive the location. RE - Submitting documents we are in a similar position but have decided to play it safe and submit everything of o/hs from GCSEs - MScs. What is there to hide! I would give IMMI a call they are easy to get in touch with and its free advice over and above all their literature online.

Hi Zeebeth We received our invitation this afternoon and we will be uploading documents over the course of the next week or so. Looking to sit Medicals and PPC back end of March and move around Jan 16 (or anytime before if work dictates). Manctooz

Hi all Thanks for responses. I also spoke to IMMI who verified above. EOI submitted 10/10 and invite received today (12/10) - all moving quickly. Decided to progress application as far as possible and then delay all meds and PPC checks until March 15. Jupiter - we were also advised same re baby visa fee. Happy days! Manctooz

Thanks lebourvellec!

Thanks MaggieMay!

Hi there - not sure if this is the best place to post, but currently in the process of submitting EOI for 189. I was wondering if anyone has had experience of being at this stage when o/h is pregnant. My IELTS & SA completed - so unsure whether to submit EOI now knowing that we will delay o/h medicals until after birth in March or wait until say Jan to submit EOI. Currently considering submitting EOI, processing everythng except o/h medicals and then after birth, completing o/h medicals and submitting change of circumstances form to assigned case officer. The only sticking point is the period to activate the visa - we are getting conflicting advice. Can anyone clarify whether the period of activation for the visa is 12mnths from the visa approval/grant or 12 mnths from the completion of the medical/police checks? Thanks in advance - the brain is going mushy!

Hi all, Has anyone booked themselves onto the IELTS test in Manchester on 02/08/2014 or a test elsewhere around a similar date? I'm targeting an overall score of 8.0 and I have just started the revision process and was wondering if anyone was interested in meeting up/Skyping to share experiences and progress? If you are, PM me and we will see if we can set something arranged! Manctooz

Hi B Bear, If the IELTS books are still available, I'm based in Manchester and don't mind buying them off you. My IELTS test is on the 02/08 so need to start getting some revision in! Manctooz
