Just made the move to the gold coast and shipped over a full 20" container. So pleased we did as we want for nothing. Just a standard washing machine and dishwasher will set you back $1200+. We had to buy a bunk bed here and a king size mattress and we shopped everywhere for the cheapest half decent one we could find and still paid $600 for the mattress, and $500 for the bed. An £89 henry hoover over here is marked up at $500 in the shops. We have friends here too who only brought over a few things and they said they would have shipped over the lot if they had known It all really depends on what you have too

Well our time has finally come. We set off at 10am for our new life on the gold coast It has been a completely exhausting physically and mentally, I had no idea it would be so emotional. Just the dreaded 25hour flight at 7 months pregnant for Paula and hopefully she can start relaxing. I may have landed a job already as a tiler so fingers the guy pulls through. Thanks for the help the forum has given me over the last few monhts Nick & Paula :wink:

Can you not say that unless his attitude changes the whole thing is off? He needs to realise how hard this is going to be leaving his mum. I wish I could take my mum with me. -

189 Visa - Did you supply bank statements?
Nickandpaula replied to PomCop's topic in Working and Skilled Visas
I had to provide self assesment forms when the case officer asked for more info it was just to prove I had paid or received something. -
Were pleased to announce we have also been granted. So happy right now. On a plane in 3weeks to have an Australian born baby if anybody is worried use the above info and give them a call. Lovely people

189 EOI with Newborn so no documents
Nickandpaula replied to Selina Smith's topic in Working and Skilled Visas
get a birth certificate same day and apply for passport, this took 7 days to come back and just apply in a weeks time? -
Yes, it was only 30mins away so we drove to collect it, had all the paperwork signed and dropped it off at the migration company. There is one piece of information they still need which is proving difficult and that is a self assessment tax form to prove I have paid into the system here. it takes hmrc 30-60mins to answer the phone and yesterday and today they said it would be faxed over but still nothing
-
yes they quoted 10 days.

We have had Brisbane request more information today. They have asked my partner to prove our relationship, They have requested copies of all work certificates (which I've already supplied)?, They have requested all work references to prove my self employed business (I've already supplied)? the last thing is my boys birth certificate which has gone in the container

Please HELP-Pre primary teacher or childcare centre manager?

Hi, I'm not sure if the points system is the same for all jobs but I had to pass the ielts to gain 10 points to bring me up to the minimum. Where you have scored a 6 for listening I believe you won't have enough points....but I could be wrong -
Renting a property before you've secured a job...can you do it?
Nickandpaula replied to aconcannon's topic in New South Wales
Our friends found it really difficult to secure a property and in the end had to pay 6 months in advance which they now say was a good idea as it took the pressure off a bit trying to find a job -
There's mixed reviews on here regarding work I have found. Everybody has a different attitude towards work so I think it's difficult thing to comment on. As for tools my pal has told me to bring everything as tools are crap and double the price.
