Hi all
Just to let you all know that we were asked for the Form 80 etc today, so it would appear we're being assessed now and they have moved on to the 1st July 2014!
A small "woohoo" at the moment!
I'll keep you all posted.
Steve

Well, move on up everyone......My parents have got their visa confirmation today!!!!
Thanks so much for all the support that everyone has for each other on this forum - its been a valuable source of information, and glad to have been able to share it with your all.
Good luck to everyone, and especially the other 23rd Juners - Tien and Julie. I hope you are both celebrating soon too.
:arghh:WOW!
Many congratulations, very pleased to hear good news at last on here!!

Good news!!! At last the request for the 2nd VAC payment - we're almost there!! So excited and now working on getting funds across to get payment completed. Fingers crossed you hear soon Tien and Julie - you're not far behind I'm sure :wink:

Good morning/afternoon :-)
Here's some good news for a Friday...
There's room for two more in the final waiting room!!! WE'VE BEEN NOTIFIED OF OUR VISA GRANT TODAY!! and we are so happy!! so relieved! Here's to the end of November when we board that plane :-)
Good luck to everyone else, I really wish you well - it's been stressful, long, I've become paranoid at times about what may happen/if I filled something out wrong/if I sent something to the wrong place/if I got the cheque amount wrong/if I deleted an e-mail before seeing it - it's amazing how so much goes through your head haha and I am sure I'm not alone on that!!
I will keep checking here to check how you are all progressing. There are a few who will be right behind me :-)
Farewell for now and all the best and thanks for all the support over the past 2+ years!

We actually moved out of our house (we had lived there for 38 years!) to our rental in June as we knew we would be in Oz at completion date. We knew there were lots of new developments near our family and the main infrastructure was better on the west side of Melbourne, so went looking. We liked the name of Diggers Rest and the train went straight from there into CBD, so paid a visit to sales office, found a plot we liked, paid $1000 deposit, arrange a conveyancer (one suggested by sales woman) to check contract, then paid full deposit 5%. We got completed contract and the whole process took a week to 10 days. We then had to forward copy of contract to FIRB with fee for approval which we got. That took less than a week! We needed this approval because we did not have residency yet. We then looked on line at different builders within that area and found one to our liking with good reviews, Mimosa Homes. Arranged a meeting with Sales Consultant, picked house plus extras that we wanted, and paid $2000 deposit. We then had another meeting with him to sign off plans and check over everything. This happened over the same period as the land deal. He is arranging a further meeting for us to choose colours,fitments etc before we leave Oz (end of this month) so the house can be completed if we're not here. Yes, you do pay for the house in stages, and was advised to get main stages checked by independent building inspector . The whole process only took two weeks
Owing to the drop in the exchange rate, we decided to go down this path as we figure we have saved in excess of $100,000 by buying a land/house package, plus you only pay stamp duty on the land not the whole thing. Also first time buyer grants are applicable!
Hope this helps!
Geoff and Gill
Hi Geoff and Gill
Hope you're both keeping well and congratulations on the new arrival.
I think you should check on the First Home Owners Grant (FHOG) as I don't think you can get this if you have bought under the FIRB scheme.
For your sakes I hope I'm wrong!
Cheers

Hi Amanda and Fisher1
Thanks for your comments & advice.
We've almost competed them again now.
We thought we were being so clever having them ready but then new technology intervened.
Cheers and hope you hear soon on the bond Amanda!

Hi all
Had a disaster today, we have completed our form 80`s ready to send and now the USB has got corrupted and we can't access anything so looks like we have to start again.
Now we are using Windows 8 or 10 we can't seem to save it and looks like we will have to complete and print a page at a time, also we can't enter any dates via the computer.
Any ideas kind people?
Cheers a very stressed Steve and Ann!

Good (early) morning/afternoon fellow parents waiting oh so patiently. So, I'm happy to report that I've now heard from our case officer! Hurrah!! For those I know who are wanting to hear of other docs (Hi Julie :-) yep Form 80 has been requested. I believe they ask as a matter of course now. We have no convictions, have funds to take (as specified on application), live in just about the lowest risk place anywhere and in good health (they've had our medicals already). But right now I'm just so happy it's moving forward! We have 28 days to get everything back including AoS finalised. Hopefully not long now before all other 'Junes' will be hearing from them too. Skipping my skip o'joy today :-)
Amanda
Hi Amanda
Great news - we're so pleased for you and I'm sure the aos will be sorted soon.
Keep us informed please!
All the best

Hey i am new here can u tell me in visa 173 form 80 is required or not
Hi and welcome
Immi decide on an individual case by case basis if they require form 80 or not, the general advice on the forum is to prepare it just in case they request it.
Good luck
