Thanks Hun will do I've never heard of backloading - so many new terms to learn xx

See that's what I thought - totally confused hell out of me seen as I'd only ever been told about ( what I keep calling port fees and I know they aren't lol) and possibly fumigation or inspection if they find something they don't like xx

Queensland ?

I went through passports for the dates we were abroad and for relationships we just put an approx date but the month and year were spot on ( I actually put the wrong month and date in for my oh past serious relationship so it didn't quite match his info and it was fine ) xx

This forum has been a god send for me , plus it's great to see how others are going and their tips on things - I'm looking forward to my first bottle of corona and 5 mins chill out after all the craziness has died down ? Xx

Hi I'm wondering if someone can enlighten me, I email a firm for a quote to get my stuff ( 20ft container) from Brisbane to labrador, the response I got has totally confused me as at no time have I ever heard of any of the other stuff bar 2 and I still have no idea how much they would charge to get my stuff from port to my house tia

Congratulations spangle and best wishes for your wedding Do let us know how you go on with the next stage , enjoy the break first tho xx

We got ours almost straight away but had already lodged our visas and appointments were within a couple of weeks xx

Exciting times - although our visa hasn't been officially been granted yet ( bit of a cock up with oh police report being only for Queensland not federal ? ) our co was ready to grant last month which would of taken us just over the 3 1/2 month threshold, I eventually managed to speak to my co and explained the cock up - yes I'm marrying an idiot , we laughed ? And she's giving us the maximum time she can to give us to enter Australia so we can get my dog sorted etc she was very mindful of our wedding date and was so lovely xx

Hi there thanks ever so much for your reply , rabies has been started so we are all good for that , we are with vets for pets aswell! Ive been told as my dog is boxer cross it would be best if she flew Qantas from uk to Perth then to Melbourne but I'm unsure if Qantas deal with jo public , do quarenteen collect the animals from the airport or is it something that we have to arrange - so much more to do though I e probably printed all the information off I think I need to go through it again did your pooch settle in ok thanks for your help rachel xx

Cheers nemesis , 9 month thing is fine it was the very short validation time x

Sorry nemesis I meant to quote someone else ?? I was curious about nekisha- if she only had about a week to activate her visa and if that was normal?

I'm packing and shipping myself- I'd love to be able to afford someone else to do it but right now it's not possible so I'm going to be doing it with the help of some friends and a load of packing materials!! ( subject to getting my visa of course)

Just out of curiosity what date did you get you Pmv visa grant? X

Any tips on this process much appreciated- who did your pooch fly with? Did you have someone fly them from quarantine? X

Omg that's amazing ? Congratulations, so pleased for you xx

I've booked the appointment with the panel rhumatologist , i just thought it odd the hospital would suggest a different route to what was being asked I'll stick to doing as my co asks thanks guys

Thanks very much for pointing me in the right direction- I've seen a couple of names mentioned

I can't afford one for the whole process- I hadn't realised you can do it the way you have suggested so I will look into that ?? We do have everything else covered though shipping flights etc

The long and short of it is I just can't afford a migration agent - it appears the immigration departments are not the best places for info when you'd think they would be ?

Hi snifter I was trying to confirm what I needed to do - when I called the hospital to book another appointment the hospital told me I could go to an NHS rheumatologist or a letter from my docs would surfice rather than go back to them but the email I got was requesting me to see a panel rheumatologist, so what the hospital were telling me to do just didn't sit quite right with me the email I had off my co gave me an email address that said if I had any questions I could email the address provided within the email but it's not even a real email address ?

I know I won't get a refund which is fine but a bit of correct info from the department to clarify the contradictory instructions from the hospital may be of some help

I'm applying for the Pmv 300 , which looks to me the way I read it the $7000 etc would cover our visas and the next stage and we would then pay $1700 ish for the pr visa via the Pmv visa they wouldn't help me contact my co said I had to go through them for any questions I had or upload questions on my application even though I wouldn't get a response if I did it that way!! Sooooo frustrating

I've just been informed on the phone from the European call centre as it appears I can't email my co with a few queries I have , and thought I'd just check what happens if I fail my Medical ( I've been asked to go back and see a rheumatologist for a report on my fibro) the hospital told me a Gp letter would be fine or Referal to nhs rumatologist but the email says panel physician , I wanted to make sure I was doing things right , was told hospital shouldn't of said that and I need to book panel physician anyway I also asked about future visa fees to be told when I apply for the next pr visa it's going to cost an additional $7000 plus more for my children - I was sure I'd read differently to that? Totally confused ?

I'm trying to my co at I'm assuming Australia house but the email address I've been given on correspondence from her keeps bouncing back with Mailer demon- no known domain any advice? Thanks xx
