Hi,

 

I am an only child with parents who are 62 and 67. 

My fiancé is Australian and we’ve decided we would like to relocate to Australia with our little girl who is 10 months old.

Initially, my parents took it ok. We asked them to join us on a CPV which they were up for and also very excited about. After a couple of months, they decided they didn’t want to leave the uk. They are a very anxious pair and decided it was too much for them to cope with. Fair enough, I totally understand and empathise with them.

Since deciding they won’t be coming, it has been an absolute rollercoaster of emotions. They’ve been so upset and very vocal about it and I feel horrifically guilty. They said they don’t want to come and visit after coming for the first and only visit and they aren’t sure they want to FaceTime as it will be too painful (we are very close now and live in the same town). 

 

As time has gone on, it has become more awkward when I see them. Today I got lots of angry messages from my dad saying we had been selfish and not thought of them at all (we did though as I wanted them to come with us and when they said they couldn’t, I tried to work out a plan with them to make it work). My dad says he’s glad our relationship seems to have changed as it will make it easier when we leave. 

I 100% empathise with how they must be feeling, I feel dreadful, but I also feel that it’s unfair to call me selfish for thinking of my fiancé and my daughter’s future.

Has anyone else been in this position? Please tell me it gets easier! I love my parents to bits, but at the moment I just can’t be around them. We are all too sad and that sadness is slowly turning into anger and resentment which breaks my heart. I’m crying as I write this as I feel so awful and so guilty for making them feel this way, but I feel like we can’t go back on this now. I really want to make the move and if we cancelled the move, we would always wonder ‘what if?’ And I would also feel awful for putting my fiancé and child in second place.

 

I have a friend whose mother guilt trips her everyday about being away from home. We as adults have to look to our future, your child's future. You are 100% doing the right thing and your parents are the selfish ones to put that on you. I wish you all the best. Please believe me, you won't regret the move!

I understand that 187 have a condition to work with the employer for 2 years. 

But it's not mentioned anywhere on grant notification, immi account, VEVO not even on immi website. Every other visa you see or you had previously have clear conditions mentioned on that. 

This 2-year condition is "Gray area" of this visa. 

After the time we have had to wait, I reckon we shouldn't have to do another 2 years!!

Hi every1, i have big doubt regarding processing time and wanted to be clear. I have applied nomination in may2017 and visa in sep2017 so when did my processing time started may or sep?

I was advised by my MA to apply for both Nomi & Visa at the same time to save any extra waiting. Check with your MA.

Hi all ,

 

Have a questions, 

Is there any set time for approving visa after nomination approval?

its been for months since my nom approval.

Did you apply for both at the same time?

hello,  i think my condition is same like you. nomination approved 10 february 2018 after 11 months. After i applied my visa 23 feb 2018 and still i am waiting.

i applied as a fleet manager.  offshore waiting. 187 direct entry

Things change so much but I believe when I applied 15 months ago. The processing time started from when you lodge a 'complete application' which includes visa so your wait time would begin February 2018. I was advised by my MA to apply for both Nomi & Visa at the same time to save any extra waiting. Maybe I am wrong, it may be worthwhile checking.

Hi Guys, 

Who updates the spreadsheet? The 186 visa one is maintained well and gives them some hope of where immi are as it looks like some June 2017 are coming through it would be good if everyone’s details were in the spreadsheet.

Not sure there was one person who would do this, think it was personal choice to partake in keeping it updated.

Update on my timeline, please share yours!

hi can somebody tell me ..... i applied TRT 187 in may 2018 but now want to change it to 186 application. would i be able to do it without paying fees and which date will be considered for 186 visa ? May 2018 or OCt 2018.

I suggest you speak to your MA but I wouldn't think you can avoid fees if you want to apply for a different visa entirely and the processing time is specific to each visa and not to the applicant. You cannot transfer your wait time to another visa.

Hi guys just a quick question, if the employment contract is 4 years and I work 2 years after getting visa 187 (meeting the visa requirement). Is that possible to leave just after 2 years? Will I have any issue if I apply for the citizenship later? 

Your conditions of 187 visa are met when you complete 2 years.

Let's hope all 2017 visa applicants hear soon! #PMA

Sorry I thought from your post that your parents would be moving over to join you. The 408 is only a temporary visa 

Haha I meant 804 DAMN! My head is frazzled with all these visa numbers.

I cant offer any advice other than whats on here but just wanted to wish you luck and say dont give up. When my daughter came out here 14 yrs ago (only child) I could see no prospect of us ever being more than long distance parents. We moved over to join her a year ago.  So get an agent and cross your fingers, you never know what you can do till you try.

What visa did you come over on? My parents are planning to do the same.

In May 3016 I was granted 189 visa and moved to Victoria with my 15 year old son and partner. Sadly at the  time my 17 year old son didn’t want to be included in the visa process and chose to stay with his dad in England. We painfully made the move while he stayed in UK with his dad. Now after being here for 2 years my son has been out twice on holiday and has decided that he wished he made the move with us. He left school early and has been casual working for 2 years. I was hoping to try and get him a year working visa but what would be the options for him to move permanently without a skilled trade? 

Any ideas??? 

Speak to Registered MA for free consultation but you must be able to sponsor him on a family visa surely... Good luck!

No,   5 years program applies to all of us even people who got permanent residency on skilled visas if they dont stay there for 5 years they wouldn't be able to to get their citizenship. Well that's what the government is saying.but the question is we can apply for citizenship after  1 year of pr grant once we get citizenship how can they stop us from going anywhere.

They will change the requirements for 187 visas to Citizenship but all this f*kcing around is only making it worse for everyone.
