    Hi all Finally my UK parents e651 was approved today, after applying around 7/11, we actually got the exemption approved first, then the visa which I believe is what caused the wait, Good luck everyone! Cheers Nick

    this is what I got from the old man… so not necessarily due to no exemption (sorry for not being clear) I started completing an application for a 651 eVisitor visa but before I had got very far into it, I was informed that "You are not eligible to apply for the visa using this service

    In our experience, my Dad applied for an e651 but was rejected due to no exemption - then same day applied for exemption which has now been approved, so now is applying again for e651 I'll keep you updated on the result

    We haven't booked anything yet, dependent on the outcome and length of the visa/exemption process, but would love them to come for Xmas but i appreciate it's a very expensive long shot, so probably Feb/Mar next year...

    My Dad just got his parent exemption through, took 4 days, quick processing!

    You must submit your request for a travel exemption at least two weeks, but not more than two months, before your planned travel. source: https://covid19.homeaffairs.gov.au/immediate-family-australian-citizens-or-permanent-residents-or-new-zealand-citizens-usually-resident-australia#toc-4

    That’s great to know thanks, any ideas on processing times?

    Hi Amelia I'm in the same boat and as said further up, it's all very liable to change. As far as I can work out given the current situation parents would need to apply for both of the following; a) an exemption - which can only be applied for from 1st Nov and they'd have to supply evidence of your visa and being your parent (birth cert etc) https://covid19.homeaffairs.gov.au/immediate-family-australian-citizens-or-permanent-residents-or-new-zealand-citizens-usually-resident-australia b) a visa - i guess it's the standard 651 (as stated above) I'm not sure in what order you'd need to apply for these and if it makes a difference, anyone know? Trailfinders in UK told my parents to get a visa before booking, Cheers Nick

    west pymble is perfect for you, loads of green space and a next suburb to macquarie park

    Yep the momentum was good, fingers crossed for better things for Q2!

    agreed! I keep my eye closely on site such as this one trying to work out any rhyme or reason to the market https://www.poundsterlinglive.com/aud what I've noticed is every currency change is reported but never really predicted, I have now set goals with my forex broker who call me when the rate is reached, which is preferable to watching the skittish market change on a daily basis...

    any view on timings to shift UK savings to AUD?
  15. Clyde114
    Hi all I moved from UK to AU this year, before the move I shifted money over with a UK based Forex broker, now I'm here I'm looking for advice on if it's best to continue using a UK broker or a local AU broker to shift my money over? Does it matter, apart from convenience? Thanks for your thoughts! Cheers C

    Very straight forward, married 8 yrs with 3 kids all with Aussie passports! only thing I can think of is my wife applied for her UK citizenship and was approved in December, after which I updated my application Didn't get CO initials

    Visa approved this morning woop! Straight to 100 permanent resident, took a little longer than some which made me nervous, timings below; Visa submitted 22nd July 2016 CO assigned 8th Sep Police checks uploaded 22nd Sep Medical completed 28th Sep Approved 17th Jan Off to Sydney later this year with my wife and young kids, selling up our house and aim to purchase - just need the pound to strengthen or might have to rent for a while! Thanks to everyone on this forum, it's really been a great help Nick

    I think all the CO's are still on holiday, applied in July for 309/100 and was hoping for approval before Xmas :mad:, anyone with any approval news would be appreciated!
  23. Clyde114
    Thanks for your advice, would updating my application at this point have a bearing on the processing time, as it's due to be finalised imminently (I hope!)
  24. Clyde114
