what thread is this discussion on? seems right up my alley ?
-
Thanks Pom Queen I didnt think to look for an annual plan. She doesn't have one over here because they want to charge me an extortionate price (apparently her getting attacked by another dog one time pushes my premiums up!). I'll investigate and see if I can convince them to cover us.

Hi We've also booked to take our Border Collie over with us with Pet Air and I agree the service so far has been worth the cash. just wondering if you're planning to get travel/emigration insurance for yours? I had a bit of a google but could only find one company that offered it and even then it only covered for 36 hours after they arrive i.e. if anything happens during quarantine then we're stuffed. It was only £50 so I might still get it anyway but just wondered if there were better options cheers lisa

Hi All Just thought I'd update - we got our grant on Tuesday ?. Good luck to everyone still waiting. (And yes I updated - first thing I did after poking my partner awake to tell him ?) Xx
-
Hey All Anyone else heard anything recently?? Been following the tracker religiously since the backlog clearing started getting closer and closer to our submission date (5/11). But now they're approving people who submitted after us AND responded to their CO after us...I just don't get it??! ?? Had been fine with the waiting game up to now because it at least made sense but starting to lose hope. Xx
-
Hi Nirav I'd be waiting for CO contact personally - it could be more than 3 months at this stage so there's no point paying for multiple certificates.
-
Amazing news! Fingers crossed it all goes well for you (and keep us updated) Can I ask what the company you'll be managing does? Did they headhunt you or did you find a role to apply for? Having a job before you go must make it so much easier
-
@DeSab We lodged directly. The case status is "submitted" when you first enter the information. "In progress" once a CO has picked it up. "Awaiting information" if they contact you to ask for something and then back to "in progress" once you submit the extra info.
-
Hi Cristina Sorry for delayed reply. No the CO didnt tell us (and the paperwork they sent through even said it should only be for 12 months or more) but I asked on one of the forums if I should challenge it/if anyone else had experienced the same and got a reply from someone who was phoned by the CO to request it and they said its a new requirement. I'm not sure its fair if their docs dont say that but since it was relatively quick/easy/cheap to get I figured it was just easier to go with it! No we didn't submit any points for Aus study or work so not sure why they thought he'd been there unless they checked his passport because we had a tourist visa. That is a really unfair system... :'(
-
We submitted 5th Nov and then added medicals and police checks in early Jan. Got contacted by the CO Jan 26th with a request for an Australian Police Cert for my partner (even though he's only ever spent 3 weeks there - apparently its an updated requirement) plus form 80s. Returned the requested info on 7th Feb and have been chewing our fingernails since! Anyone know what the priority is for them looking at current applications vs picking up new ones?

I agree! We are so excited to get over there - I've lived there for a few months on a WHV but my partner only visited for 4 days and even that was enough for him to know it was where we should be I'm a big fan of all the foodie places on instagram gonna get so fat when we get there! xx -

Hey Not had our grant yet but planning to ship our 7yr old border collie over when we do. Had a couple of quotes and think we're going with Airpets. ? -
Thank you! That seems like an odd way to do it but at least I've not done it wrong. I'm guessing you cant change anything once you hit submit?
-
Hi all Majorly confused - have logged into my immi account and input all 17 pages of information for our visa application and now at the final page with a "submit" button but at no point have I been able to upload any supporting documents...have I missed something here?? Is there a user guide somewhere?? Thanks L
