Hi everyone got here at last just before Christmas, we are staying with our family in Mount Martha near Melbourne. Can any help with advice on our pensions, myself and my wife are both over 65 and have state pensions, and modest annuity’s. I have been told that the state pensions can be paid into an Australian bank account in dollars at a good exchange rate, what are the options for our annuity’s? Best of luck for all those who are still waiting for their visa Johnboy.

Happy Christmas to all in the waiting room, who have spent many months on Skype, watching exchange rates, house prices, and old age creeping up, we all wish those at immi a happy Christmas and a speedy new year. Johnboy.

Hi everyone, Finally found the appropriate thread. As you can tell, new to the site but getting sorted. Just wanted to say hello to everyone. Will have lots to ask you all in near future. Our lodgement date is 9th October 2014. Johnboy

Thank you for your welcome. Johnboy

Hi Julie. Thanks for your welcome to the site. This is Johnboy's other half. Our lodgement date is 9th October 2014, so few months behind you. Nice to know of others who are heading down the Mornington Peninsular. Johnboy

Hi everybody, we are in the waiting room too for a contributory parent visa to join our daughter, son in law and grandchildren in lovely Mount Martha, Victoria. Applied in October 2014, so hopefully half way through now. Thought we had better get introducing ourselves to this fab site as we will need so many questions answered and help in sorting things out as not going through agent. regards johnboy
