@Jordan01 Ah! Thats an idea! I know people say not to rent from just looking at the photos but a lot of the houses we are looking at are fairly new builds (homes are about 10 years old or less) so I'm guessing they can't be too far off the photos perhaps..?! Did you sign a 6 month lease or 12 if you don't mind me asking?
-
Wow so great you secured a rental already! How did you organise that? Was it privately via Gumtree? I heard that its not easy to secure a rental from abroad.

Are cats quarantine also getting full up? We are hoping to have our cats arrive end of April.

We went straight too 100. Married 5 years with 2 kids.

Got our visa granted today!! Just under 5 months.. 4 months and 25 days to be exact! So happy to be getting the ball rolling now!

Oh what great news!All the best with your new adventure:) Hopefully this means mine isn't far off too!!

thanks for clarifying:)

I just had a look on the border.gov.au site and it's 5 months for low risk from the date of receiving your COMPLETED application. Guessing I won't hear back till Feb next year

this is the best thing I have read all day!!

Yes I hope so before Christmas! We've started getting our cats ready, we have the blood test this week so hoping they will pass and then hoping to leave the UK as soon as they can fly (about May) *fingers crossed!*

We applied on the 23rd June, Uploaded all the medicals and police checks on the 17th Sept, so just a waiting game for us now too. I'm very tempted to email them but I'm trying to trust that we are in the queue!

Hurray! Our case officer has contacted us, the ball is rolling.. a lot quicker than I anticipated too.. We applied on the 23/6/16 and been contacted 21/7/16 .. just a month! I was expecting at least 2 months!

That definitely an increase of about £465 pounds.. We paid £3390 + the credit card fee just last week.

I can only assume so... yes I was very confused by it after hearing other people had no docs certified and some saying they only certified some docs... Well the guy at the Europe service centre said no need to certify any.. I've uploaded all my docs now, so here goes!

Thanks everyone for your replies. I called the Europe service centre this afternoon and thought I would share what they told me incase anyone else would like to know. He said that if uploading online there is NO need to certify any of the documents. The friends and family statements don't need to be witnessed just signed with a copy of their ID. The relationship history statement only needs to be signed and dated by the author. Phew, a lot easier than expected! Hope this helps anyone else needing clarification... Always worth giving the centre a call though to put your mind at ease
