  1. Catlady2014 pleased to hear you have arrived safely. All the best for your new life. Keep in touch xx
  2. Anyone else had a problem logging back in to the tracker once they've registered?
  3. It's just so disheartening, just when we thought there was movement again.
  4. Kathss56 is it possible to rent a property while you are on a 600 visa?
  5. That's helpful, thanks. I'm pretty much ready to go, as I have already sold my house & living in a rented apartment, so will just have my car to sell & shipment to organise. Hope all goes well with your move.
  6. Quick question: Once a 143 visa is granted, is there a time frame within which you have to make the permanent move to Australia?
  7. That is fantastic news! I have a long wait still, as only lodged in March this year, but posts like yours keep me going! Best of luck.
  8. Hi All, All being well I shall be applying for my subclass 143 Parent Contributory visa in the new year. I have downloaded forms 47PA, 40 and 80. Are there any others I can look at now so I can hit the ground running when I apply? Any other hints/tips to help me on my way? Many thanks, Sue
  9. Thanks for that Heather. It's a bit of a minefield isn't it?! Sue
  10. Hi Alan, So helpful to have you as part of the conversation. I would be really grateful to have some clear guidance on which visa to apply for, as there does seem to be conflicting information out there. Some background information about myself: I'm a 63 year old retired headteacher, currently going through a divorce to meet the balance of family criteria. I have one daughter who has been resident in Sydney for approx 12 years and has Australian citizenship. Her partner is Australian and they have a 1 year old son. My other daughter moved to Sydney in April this year to previously arranged employment, and the company has sponsored her. Once divorced, I will not need to count any stepchildren in the equation. I am keen to move to Sydney as quickly as possible to be with my family and help with childcare for my grandson and any future grandchildren - can you advise which visa would work best for me please? Kind regards, Sue Thorpe
  11. Good morning Heather, Thanks for sharing your plans, it's really helpful, and i agree, so nice to be in contact with someone starting out on the process. One reason why I originally discounted the 143 is that I read there was a waiting time of 20 years!! As I'm now 63, that's a little long for me to wait and like you I want to get to Australia as soon as I can. In the meantime I'm using a regular visitor's visa to go over 2-3 times a year. Keep in touch, Sue
  12. Hi Heather, I'm undecided yet whether to apply for the 143 or 173. I initially thought the 173 would be the quickest way to get there and then I would apply for the 143 once there. I'm keen to get to Sydney asap, as I have a year old grandson who is growing up fast! Like you I have a daughter who has lived in Oz for 12 years, and my other daughter moved to Sydney this April. I have some personal stuff to sort out in the UK before I can actually apply for a visa but as soon as that is done I want to get over there as quickly as I can. What made you go for the 143? Best wishes, and keep me posted on your progress, Sue
  13. Hi Heather, Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question as I am just starting the process myself to go to Sydney. I hope you don't mind me asking though - are you doing this just by yourself, or are you using a registered emigration expert/company? Good luck with your application! Regards, Sue Thorpe
