Thanks Guys, ill go ahead and purchase enough to satisfy their cravings!! Who knew wine gums didn't contain wine lol, always wondered why I never felt drunk after eating a large amount ill take ale your advice and declare all, saves any hassle in customs! X

Hi guys, this is is prob a silly question but we land in Perth in June to move into our new forever home!! We ha e friends who moves a few years back and are missing good old UK chocolate, my question is can I bring this over in my cases for them or will customs not allow as its dairy? They have asked for a Galaxy and dairy milk stash, not planning on bringing cases of the stuff just a mixture of different types if possible! Thanks in advance!! Ninny x

Thanks guys and congrats to all that have the golden visa!!! definitely a case if striking while the iron is hot after all it's been a long few years of planning so why wait any longer!! No family holidays for a good few years is the perfect excuse to visit Bali en route for a total destress although... Booking a villa there is hard as soooo many choice!! captain r.. When and where did you settle in Oz? Grey sky... Hope you enjoy Bali!! i hope the hoop jumping is almost over for the rest of you guys, I know first hand how stressful and hard it is and can guarantee that when its all done it is the most amazing feeling in the world even with the positive stress which is definitely where we are at now!! Where is everyone else heading to in Oz? Ninny x

Congrats... We too have been in it for the long haul of countless hoops to jump to gain the holy grail visa!! Have be you sorted shipping, bank accounts and flights etc? We shopped around with shipping company's and settled for PSS as they offered good service and quote. They tried to charge £75 to put TV in a wooden box after being to it would be free, we questioned this and got this added for no fee. They quoted a high insurance fee also for the container so we shopped around and found quotes less then half the price, again we mentioned this and they matched the lower quote. We have done it the fast way and set up a few bits in a week, let me know if you need any info.... Welcome to the rollercoaster of emotions and stress all for the dream ending!!

Fingers and toes crossed for you guys.... I'd say they must be in the pipeline next few days... No news is good news until that grant lands!! How soon are you all planning on going once the golden email lands? Whole new level of stress then will commence but atleast it won't involve sleepless nights constantly checking emails lol!!

Hi guys, anyone else going through the actual move process at an impulsive rapid rate?! Omg my nerves are shot, sickness kicking in and nerves aswell as sadness at leaving peeps behind!! How are you are you all dealing with the rollercoaster of emotions? We got out golden email last Thursday for 189 and being super impulsive after jumping 3 years+ of IMMI hurdles we decided to live for the moment... So I have spend all week sorting the house as PSS are coming to pack tomorrow then load all our belongings onto a container on Friday. My 4 week notice is up on 8th May so we have a full week of goodbyes with everyone then we jet off on a one way ticket via a Bali for a relaxing holiday before hitting the ground running!' we are heading to Perth and currently in process of looking for a holiday let, trying to decide on area as want a good schools for our 2 daughters aged 10 and 13. Banks all sorted as we went with ANZ and TORFX so have proved it can actually all be done in a week.... Just need to get there now to get everything else sorted as schools won't start enrolment untill we have an address in their catchment! Has anyone else bit the bullet and turned it around as quick with success? Ninny

Awww so sorry to hear that Hun, stay positive because your golden email isn't far away. On another postive note, it's extra spending money for your new life and one less thing to do when email lands!! Sending you happy/positive vibes!! Xx

Sounds like an amazing breakfast... If it helps the person above us was also assigned a CO a few days before we got direct grants with no CO. We were in the checking email and IMMI Stage at silly o'clock which wasn't needed as we received the grant emails direct at around 8am UK so not long after we checked! Keep positive and that golden life changing email will arrive soon!! No CO is positive in a direct grant so fingers crossed!! Xx

tnanks guys!! Congrats doctdavies, see you got your a few days before!! Thinking happy thoughts and being super positive worked!! we heading to Perth, flying on 19th May via Bali for a holiday befire starting our new life!! Didnt submit form 80, wasn't asked either as no case officer assigned. Front loading everything paid off for sure! Xx

Another direct grant here.... Soooo happy the wait is over, now the stress of packing and moving next month can commence!! my hubby submitted on 13th Feb and we front loaded everything, did the usual daily checks and no case officer allocated, this morning then golden email came and the IMMI account has our family grants!! Fingers and toes crossed for everyone else, hope you all heat something soon xx

Aww congrats!! Great place too honeymoon, rude not to stop over somewhere en route after all the hoop jumping and stress getting thru the before and visa process!! does anyone know much about the form 80? Seen a re comments online (forgot which posts) and a few people have mentioned these forms to fill in, I've looked in our IMMI account and can't see anywhere that says we need to fill these in so was wondering if I'm missing something? More confusion! ?

Everything crossed we get a speedy turnaround on our visas! Excited to see everyone's progress too!! we are heading to Perth, we have friends there mainly doing the move for a better lifestyle with our 2 daughters! We are a little more impulsive as once visa (hopefully) is granted we are looking to make the move within 4-6 weeks, hoping for a holiday in KL or Singapore em route to! Sold out house last year so no ties holding us back!! Good luck with house sales doctdavies, hope it's not too stressful! How lovely having family, very exciting times for you and them, makes it easy with family being there when you first arrive I bet?! Xx

Hi everyone... Good to hear the visa applications are being processed so quickly, fingers crossed for us all!! we submitted our 189 on Friday 13th and front loaded all documents, medicals were completed yesterday so are due in Oz tomorrow and police clearance came through today and uploaded... Scary how real it all is now, excited to see everyone's progress! New to PIO, will add a signature to show our very long road of progress shortly oh and expensive but very worth it!! Good luck gang
