  1. I'm pretty sure lots on here have done a 12 month visa whilst waiting. It is usually just as cheap to book a return flight even if you don't use it. I know you have to be offshore when visa granted but not sure how long for etc.,
  2. Hi Yes I am moving on my own, whenever that will be!! Struggling whether to sell house and do 12mth visa whilst waiting, don't really want to rent it out with all the problems that could arise with that plus tax to sort on the rental income etc . Not sure how long you would have to be offshore for visa grant. People mention nipping to NZ for a day!!?? My daughter was planning a family around my move. With Looking like 2.8yrs at the moment! Think she might have to go it alone!
  3. I feel your anguish too. By the time mine is due to compete late 2018 the GBP v AUD could be in a right old sorry state! We can only live in hope!
  4. Thank you. Just trying to pinpoint when is the best time to put the house on the market, they go pretty quickly where I am, so allowing 3mths for that process hopefully!
  5. once they take your bond money is that a definite visa offer imminent? Thanks
  6. paper applications as in the 143 visa, cannot be added to immi account as far as I know !
  7. have heard many stories of regret taking lots of things over, wasting more money etc Wow that's a good amount towards new stuff. Sling out the old ! New life! new stuff! Am waiting with baited breath for you !! :ssign7:
  8. im sure there is another thread re shipping. I was going to take furniture etc but costs so much! You don't know if it will fit or suit new property so I would definitely whittle out down to the bare bones! Have heard people say they wished they hadn't taken stuff, white goods not bad price over their etc. Hope to sell some stuff to the buyers of my house when the time comes.
  9. There you go.... [h=3]8 – Work rights haven’t been decided yet[/h]While the discussion paper lays down many statements as key elements, it doesn’t take a firm position on work rights. “A key consideration is what, if any, work rights should be included with this visa. In what situations would temporary parent visa holders need to work?” a questions section asks.
  10. Hi Leigh-Anne, is that $200 per month on the insurance? Was the visa number 600 -applied for online? thanks
  11. I know what you mean. You are probably going at the right time. Mine may come through just as we go through the brexit "divorce" dreading the exchange rate in the future. Hope you hear something very soon!
  12. Catlady2014 - I was thinking I would have to be in receipt of my visa before selling the house? If they ask for AOS and mediclal/police checks etc, does that mean they have already accepted you in principle ? I wasn't going to put it on the market until all done. Thanks
  13. And here was me hoping it might take some off the 143 list! thanks anyway Alan
  14. http://www.sbs.com.au/topics/life/family/article/2016/09/29/12-things-you-need-know-about-australias-new-parent-visa I read it first on this link and now this one https://www.border.gov.au/ReportsandPublications/Documents/discussion-papers/discussion-paper-introducing-tem-visa-parents.pdf THIS PARAGRAPH IS IN THE DISCUSSION PAPER:- The Discussion Paper also advises that: “In order to apply for the new visa, it will not be necessary for the parent to have also applied for a permanent parent visa. Parents can however, continue to lodge a permanent visa application if they wish.” confusing! Maybe we can apply for both?
  15. Catlady2014-I really feel for you. Hoping it happens soon. Keeping fingers and toes crossed for you
  16. I also saw the 2-4yrs processing time now quoted on the web but hoping that is for those starting the process now! You can read up on the new 5yr visa but such a lot of info I gave up! I know it starts July 17
  17. I lodged mine only in March 2016, Reading all your past posts seems one hell of a wait! My life seems to be in limbo land! Probably take 2.6yrs to complete now. When I first looked it was 18-24 mths, so disappointing! Also AUD was $2 to the pound then it went up to $2.20 Did all my reckoning on it being around $2 when I move, but with the Brexit situation etc I fear the worse. How does this terribly affect us all in our finances! So gutted at what I thought what house I could afford to buy has changed an awful lot! Am wondering if this new 5yr visa will maybe take some off the 143 list Fingers crossed waiting time improves and doesn't go worse. Good luck everyone!
  18. Thanks for that info. As processing time is 18-24mths now every extra month I can save the better as you never know which month they will request money!
