First time back to UK in 20 years. Some thoughts....
Backtoback replied to grizzly111's topic in UK Chat
Disagree. I grew up in Fleetwood in North West Lancashire, and having never driven I can honestly say I have never had any problems with transport. Direct bus to Blackpool where there are trains all across the north west and Yorks, including one to London. Used to spend a lot of time in Manchester which has an awesome tram/rail/bus system too. Its awfully generalised to assume THE NORTH is all the same. -
Congrats!

Congrats - when did you apply?

I wouldn't get too excited with Pauline Hanson on the rise
-
I am in the same boat too.

Its a very sad day for anyone under 40.

Sorry, that was my bad wording - just their passports.
-
The only things we certified were out witness statements passports, I think?

I think our best bet is in the afterlife.

Well all I can say is, I hope it doesn't get worse.

No he shouldn't.

Well I for one am a bit worried for my finances! Seeing as the pound is worthless, my ability to buy property when I move over has seriously diminished.

Great quotes from the most disgusting right wing publications in the UK (referring to the previous links which you then quoted )

Sonwe just got assigned a case officer!

I have 3 cats and the cost was just too much - over £2000 per cat Unfortunately I am having to rehome them, which is really difficult too.

My health check was £295 in London and my police check was £80. I got them all done within a few weeks of submitting the visa online. Everything else I am afraid I cannot really help you with, but we have just sold our flat (luckily) and will be taking £20,000 to help us set up out there with rent etc. However, we have an advantage in that my partners family are all Melbourne based, so we have places to stay for the first few weeks.

Wahoo, congrats!! I check Immi account every day but we are still a few months behind everyone, as we only submitted 12/04 or thereabouts....so impatient though!

Congrats! One step closer…. did they call you?

Thanks - we were in Koh Samui last summer so will probably skip that side and do the Andaman Coast instead Haven't heard of Anghor Tom but I will check that out, thank you - I love historical stuff!

Hi everyone, I applied for the 309 visa at the start of April and we are now just in the waiting game. We have decided to quit our jobs, sell the flat and go travelling before we take the plunge and emigrate. We are spending Sep-Dec in Central America, coming back to the Uk for Xmas to say our goodbyes and then heading off the SE Asia on Dec 26 to March 30th. Has anyone done this route and can recommend an itinerary? Any must see places? I have done Thailand quite extensively so don't want to spend too much time there. This is what we are considering: London to KL - Dec 26th Bit of Malaysian mainland Thailand - not Bangkok or Phuket Myanmar Cambodia Laos Vietnam Maybe an island in the Phillipines budget permitting Fly to Melb from KL again... Any suggestions appreciated

We were in Noosa recently and stayed in an Airbnb in Tewantin, although quiet it was really something. We also went to Mooloolaba and had a great time, as its a little more active than Noosa and seemed to have more going on.

We are moving to Melbourne initially as this is where my partner is from, so we have somewhere to stay, people we know etc etc. Ideally I would like to head towards QLD as we were there over Easter and I absolutely love it. Melbourners seem to be very anti-QLD though, saying they're all too conservative? I had a great time though especially in and around fortitude valley….

Thanks! We had been planning it for a while too but OH said we couldn't decide until I had been there….I guess we are lucky that we only have to think of each other, and living in London where property is flying off the market its all been a breeze…..fingers crossed! I am sure it will be worth it

We are very fresh into this in comparison to all you guys.....its been a month, but everything is uploaded and we are just waiting! Have quit my job for summer (teacher), our flat is now under offer and we have booked our travels from september to april 1st. Really hoping it gets approved before then, otherwise I will be coming back to stay with my parents for a while, haha. Am hoping nothing more needs sending, we did cover all bases!
