Your application is submitted when you pay the fee - you should then progress to submit the sponsor application straight away and then upload your evidence straight away. Slowly uploading is risky as they may review and reject based on what is there - they have NO obligation to ask you for additional evidence. Be ready to upload within a day or two.

Not in cash.

You can buy one in the airport when you land.

I would happily support an increase in farming standards, and some things - like live exports - I don't support. I don't like the idea of intensive farming, but we are overpopulated. Bring on nuclear fission and basically free power - imagine how much fresh water we can make with free power

I figure they knew they were breaking the law, so they accept the consequences. I think they picked the wrong country if they think they will have political support for attacking farmers property.

We are about to apply for a British passport for my wife, and they won’t issue it in her married name, as her AU passport is in her maiden name. We now have to get her WA name changed, get a new AU passport and apply with that. More faffing.

Individual for ID documents as they have their own categories. Most other evidence can be grouped.

As far as I know you must arrive in Australia on your Australian passport, and you are not eligible for a visa. call your airline and check they will let you fly without changing your name. Also I don’t think you are supposed to hold passports in two names.

Good news Ben, I wish you luck.

Seems to me perfectly reasonable for him to ask for PR on this basis, he should be allowed to have a relationship with his child. I am not sure why the OP should be worried about here baby? Clearly he will never be allowed to take the baby from the county without her permission or a court order.

Thanks, next challenge is selling the house!

I'm rather jealous of those of you who are actually cleaning and packing. We have been gradually culling stuff and sorting through, but there is a lot of stuff we are keeping for the summer which we will need to sell etc. come September time. Swingset and playhouse for a start, and I am not shipping large plastic garden toys covered in sand!

Seven seas will do three boxes for you too, by air or sea. I am sending 2 standard boxes to South Africa.

I went straight to grant having pre-loaded everything, so it does happen!

We haven't sold the house yet we are doing well on the clearing out stuff though, our local charity shop is going to have a good year!
