Hi Danielle, yes I am now living in Perth!

Thank you. Need to pack the boxes for shipping hopefully they will go mid December, got some house hold items to sell that were not taking. Booked our flights with Singapore Airlines for 31st Jan 2016 all very exciting.. apart from that we have to save up!! Hopefully yours will be through soon you lodged not long after me :-)

I have booked ours with Singapore for January. Pleased to hear their ok! Can't wait now.. Exciting. Good luck

Thank you!! Yes I uploaded everything except form 80 when I lodged. I think as long as everything is there when the CO picks it up it won't make a difference. Their definitely working on the October applications now though so good luck to all!!! :-)

Got my visa grants via email today! Direct grant, submitted 8th October!! Super fast :wink: good luck everyone x

I have gone with Anglo Pacific. Like you I got fed up with tons of phone calls, voicemails and emails! I gave Anglo Pacific a call after reading a recommendation on here, the agent was really helpful and the price was good... so far so good!

How do you get to the spreadsheet? Would like to keep my eye on the October applications :-) Good luck!

Can you go out on a holiday visa while visa is granted? I lodged my application last Thursday 8/10/2015, hoping to fly out to Perth end of Jan and wondering whether I should just book the flights? Thanks

Hey! I also got my invite 8th October and submitted 189 same day! All docs have been uploaded (except form 80).. Exciting, all feels very real now! Shipping boxes also arrived on Friday.. Good luck everyone! x

Thanks! I have recently received a positive assessment from AASW so hopefully that will be enough. It would be great if I can secure a job before I leave the UK- will take a look at sites advised.

I am hoping to migrate to Perth in January next year on 189 visa. Can any one help on where to look for social work jobs? I know it will be best to apply once visa is granted, just wanted to get an idea on where/what's available and get a feel for the application process. I currently work for Manchester LA within the Children and Families Directorate and would like something similar. Also, should I join AASW now or when I get there? Thanks in advance :-)

Hi, thanks for your reply. Yes I meant that I have gone into my IMMI account and generated the HAP ID and Medical Referral letter, I thought the status on here would change to 'Finalised'. Maybe once I lodge my application I will be able to check via 'Get Health Details' then. I have clicked the link that yourself and Captain C advised however it does not show any details just the option to re-print Medical Referral Letter. I will call The Spire tomorrow and hopefully they can shed some light. Thanks again for help.

Hi Me my husband and two boys went for our medicals last week at The Spire Hospital in Manchester, they said they would send the info within 3 days. How can I check this has been done? Not lodged the application yet, waiting to see if we get an invite next week :-/ I have logged on to immi account and the status is 'submitted' am I looking in the right place? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

CaptainC was you asked for Form 80?

That's great, thank you.

Thanks Captain C! Don't know what we would do without you :-)

Hi I am trying to gather and prepare all the required documents for 189 visa. Does everything need to be certified copies i.e. birth certificates etc.? Or do you just upload scanned originals? I am hoping to lodge my application in October after EOI so need to be ready! Also, as the main applicant will it be just me that needs a Form 80 or my husband as well? (not clear on border.gov.au) Anyone would think I am applying to join MI5! Any advice appreciated.

Thank you for your reply. For any one else filling out Form 80- I have just phoned the tax office and after being on hold for 57mins they gave me a telephone number to request my employment history. Phone number- 03000 560629 very straight forward and pain free, answered straight away! Ask for 'A Statement of Accounts' and they will provide all the NI contributions you have ever made either through employment or benefits. Will arrive in 7-10 days. I am hoping this will help complete the employment section! Also, I am right in thinking both myself and my husband will need to complete Form 80? I am the main applicant on 189 visa? Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I agree it's a bit stupid.In my teenage years I had lots of jobs no idea how I will remember the dates of them all.

Hi all, I am looking for some help with form 80. In the employment section is states to 'Give details of all employment and unemployment since birth'. What if you cannot remember all the jobs/ dates etc.. This form is a nightmare! Thanks in advance :-)

Thanks for all your replies they have been very helpful! I am looking at removal companies at the min. We only have a few boxes nothing big so will get a few quotes. Thank you

Can I just say if it is based on customer service definitely go with NAB! Just had a really informative conversation with the London branch and the person I spoke to is even going to ring me Monday to confirm my account is open!

Thanks Peter, I will give them a call now.

Hahaha that will probably be me! Thanks for the feedback I think it will definitely be worth phoning around the airlines :-)

Please can some one help me with this... I am trying to complete all relevant documents before I lodge my application, do you have to submit a form 80 and 1221 for all applicants over 18? It does not ask for them on immi website but I am aware one or both are needed? Internet does not give a clear answer. Any advice would be a great help!! Thanks
