Hi All 

@ jon the hat I’m so sorry it’s slow for u to sell .... hope it has picked up over the summer 

We are here and it’s been a whirlwind .... sorting Medicare, kindy, rentals etc! Now sat on the bro in laws camping chairs as the crate doesn’t get to port til the 19th then it’s up to customs to clear and send to us!!!!! 

We went with PSS in the end ..... they were fab on the UK side and the packers were brilliant ..... will let u know what their onshore agents are like after they have been 

Also we went with their insurance as we got a quote from LP which they beat after a bit of back and forth .... hoping we don’t need it tho 

I agree a soak in Jayes and a good pressure wash should be enough for the immigration (at least I hope so) 

Good luck to everyone packing up .... the rollercoaster doesn’t stop when u get here but it is such a good feeling to be here and know you are on the home stretch to being all settled 

xox

Lovely area, only a few weeks now [emoji847] I'm excited and were 12 weeks away so I can imagine how you feel. Process seems to take so long and then all of a sudden that's it time to go. 
So hard leaving all the family and friends but much easier now to communicate,  Skype - Duo - WhatsApp

Exciting times Katie your so close now, they've had some rough weather so far this winter and it's only just started [emoji57] even snow where they don't generally get it [emoji33] 
Where are you heading Perth ?? 
 

Congrats on the sstc ... we r there too ..... crte on July 1st and fly 2 weeks later..... cant believe we are finally here .... seems like its been forever we have been waiting
@JonTheHat hope you get a bite soon .... is does seem to be moving a bit now .... could u switch agents maybe???

Were sold subject to contracts so all go, my business in process of being sold too, tickets booked for 6th September and container coming 19th August [emoji2957] so much going on it's hard to keep up.... hope you sell soon [emoji37] market seems to be picking up although there's still a lot of uncertainty out there [emoji55] 
Fingers crossed for you.

Wow@LottyC that's amazing and sk lucky... meant to be
@Jonthehat all crossed u get a good offer ...... great ur getting viewings tho
I have handed notice at work .... last day July 4th .... my own Independence Day!!!!!
Then crate and 1 way flight to Brisbane

Whoop all crossed for you [emoji1696]

Viewing tomorrow, fingers crossed!

We have great photos done by a pro also, and using a normal agent with negotiated fee.  Not sure whether worth it, but there has been a perfectly nice house on Purple Bricks for a year not far away...

Hey@LottyC .. congrats on the grant and job offer that's amazing ....
It's so strange isn't it .... all that when will the grant come gets replaced by oh cr@p we actually have to move and the enormity of that.....
Best thing I have ever seen is someone set up a spare room with tape the size of the move cube and they tried to fit what they wanted in the space ... sorry cant be more help ....
Where ru heading???
Congrats again
X

We did that .... had 2 viewings in a week and 1 made an offer...... hopefully you have the same. All crossed for u x

We switched agents and dropped the price a little, so fingers crossed!

We have joined the SSTC crew and once again are crossing all fingers and toes it all goes smoothly ..... @JontheHat hoping it is picking up for you also ....
We spend Friday Jayes fluiding the golf clubs and wellies .... I have never remembered them this clean!!!!! Hopefully it helps my swing!

[mention=268506]Jon the Hat[/mention] [mention=265638]Katiebobbles[/mention] Selling the house has been a nightmare for us too - it’s taken a lot longer than we anticipated! We have now sold stc, so just hoping all goes smoothly [emoji1695] Good luck to both of you

Unfortunately no alcohol unless you obtain a permit and pay tax. Really not worth it.
I feel your pain!! We had to part with a large collection too.
our container arrives tomorrow to be packed, I think I’m still in shock as I can’t quite believe the time has eventually come..... then off to Perth next week......

Thanks all ... looks like the golf clubs are getting another round of brushing.... May buy a few wire brushes and stop pansying around!!!!!!
Congrats @W20 must be a relief to have a buyer ....

Thanks @W20 did JM have any advice ... I am hating Jayes fluid ... killing my hands!!!!!!

I’ve got a representative from John Mason coming this morning so I’ll check what he says and let you know. I do get the impression that it’s very hit and miss though on whether they’re happy with the cleanliness or not. I have read that the smell of Jeyes fluid keeps them happy though so fingers crossed. I’ll be getting out the Jeyes fluid too in the next couple of weeks - we’re hoping to ship stuff at the end of April [emoji3]

I can join this thread now [emoji1787][emoji1362]

Hey all,
So we have finally got sorted .... crate coming July and we are knee deep in Jayes fluid.... anyone any idea how clean is clean .... I.e. if there is a bit of dirt in the groves of a golf club or a tiny bit of grass around a spike of a shoe are we going to get fined??

[mention=265638]Katiebobbles[/mention] I flew out Monday morning from Brisbane and my visa was granted 9:30am uk time. I could go straight back lol! 

OMFG!!!!!!! I got my golden email at 7.20pm today to notify me our visas are ready to be granted, we just need to leave the country!!!
I actually cried!!! Spoke to my ex - P&R dad - he had a phone call from London at 8.20am UK time (6.20pm here) asking him to confirm that he signed the forms, explain signatures & was he agreeable to them living here with me!!!
Im now looking at flights to NZ for next week lol 
Thankyou for all the good vibes & support 
Get that green marker out [mention=269597]CEP[/mention] [emoji7]

I need you to send me positive thoughts guys, immi is down tomorrow so if I don't hear tomorrow im then on hold all weekend [emoji29]
Im going out of my head over here, I need that email xx

Guys....... 
ive just had the email to leave Australia to grant my visa!!!!!
im shaking soooo much!
Thank you so much for your support everyone!![emoji8]

[mention=274768]AdStanna[/mention] thank you so much. I’ve woken up a bit now and read your post properly lol. (I’m a she btw lol!)
Im overwhelmed by the kind words and thoughts from people.
And if [mention=265638]Katiebobbles[/mention] is correct about immi stalkers then here’s a message: I promise to continue to maintain the spreadsheet [emoji4][emoji4]
it is a hideous process and one that has resulted in me not sleeping properly in months.  I mean, in what other setting would you happily hand over thousands of pounds only to be told you can’t question anything, continually moving goalposts s, so have no idea if you’ve just lost £4K?!?!
a good nights sleep in the new apartment on the weekend would be just lovely [emoji4] 
this can only be achieved by a visa grant.
 
 
 

Congratulations all.
im still waiting [emoji22][emoji22]

Oh my days...i can't breath!!!! 
Saw [mention=274652]Paddsy[/mention] (huge congratulations to both you and [mention=274768]AdStanna[/mention] btw!) post at the end of my work day and realised that today was the first day in a long time where I haven't reloaded my emails every 5 seconds.
Que opening email whilst preparing for the usual disappointment...both 309 and 100 granted!!!!
I have no more words, I'm just going to sit here and drink the champers that's been in my fridge waiting much more patiently than I have! 
[mention=269597]CEP[/mention] please please tell me you got yours too!!!!   

Thanks. I can't edit my corrections. Do I just add a new one stating the arrests were in the UK? It would be so much easier if you could speak to a human to explain things.

Hey Guys,
I said on my corrections that I had a caution and drunk and disorderly fine but just recevied my police check this morning and it says 'no trace'. Have I shot myself in the foot by telling them about the arrests?
Thanks

I hate this, I am now starting to question whether we have done everything correctly with the incredibly confusing and opaque immiaccount system.
I was wondering  whether I was supposed to create a new application for the sponsor? Under the applicants upload section it automatically created a section for myself as the sponsor and provided a location for me to upload the 40SP etc. So I assumed that was the correct location for all of my (the sponsors) information.
Doubting myself I have started to read back through the RFI communication and it very clearly states 
 
"The sponsor must create a new ImmiAccount if they do not have one already. Please ensure that once your sponsor has created their ImmiAccount, they select ‘New Application’ and not ‘Import Application’"
 
I definitely did not do this and hunting for an answer all I can find is conflicting information. Did anyone else just upload into the sponsors section of the main applicants account?
