The wait times for the 887 keep going up causing a great deal of stress, and thousands of people living in limbo and not able to move on with their lives. There’s currently a petition to appeal for quicker processing times, which could significantly reduce stress levels. https://www.change.org/p/david-coleman-reduce-processing-time-for-887-pr-visa-to-7-months

I have a 489 visa for south Australia. We move next month. From application submission to visa in hand was around 2 months. The 489 is considered a stepping stone to PR. You would only pay for the same fees that everyone else had to pay. Some government schools charge $400 per year, some $2000. It depends on the school. We are moving with no jobs, but looking at the job market there are confident we could pick up something within the first 3-6 months of arriving there. Hope this helps...

Thank you. I'll be sure to keep in touch on this thread and sort out a meet up...once I've sorted out somewhere to live, schools and cars! It's all very exciting. Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz

Hi, I'm moving to Adelaide but don't arrive until the 21st August. I'll probably miss the first get together, but would love to be included in any other dates. Would be great to meet some like minded people and hear your stories of the move down under! Sent from my iPhone using PomsinOz
