Can I please ask all those that got the golden Email this week;

Did you all submit both Forms 80 AND 1221?

40SP for the sponsor or is that the online application for sponsorship? 

 

All help appreciated. 

Just did the online application for sponsor and applicant. Didn’t submit any paper forms (including form 80). 

Well we just got our email saying to leave the country because they are going to grant it. So it’s the golden email in out eyes  

We didn’t do a form 80 and weren’t requested to do one. We just filled in the questions on the application online (the most onerous being the countries travelled to in the past 10 years). 

We got our email advising my partner to leave the country today!

Good luck to everyone else in the waiting room.

Hi, how are you getting on with quotes for shipping container?

sorry for putting this on this thread but.....

our house went on the market last week and hopefully will be sold on Monday

so we are looking to leave the UK with our two dogs the first week in April,  

we have had a quote for a 40ft container from PSS , I was going to try Anglo Pacific but some not great recent reviews. Also had a quote from Purdie’s in a Scotland .

threads on here are several years old... unless I’m missing them!

hope your plans are coming along

Thank you

I steered clear of Anglo Pacific as my friend used them from London to Sydney and they lost all of her stuff!

We used Kiwi Movers from London to Perth and they were really good. 

Hi everyone, 

Again, long time lurker. We applied from London on 9 July 2018 pretty much front loaded apart from police checks submitted in August. 

We had a RFI on 22 November; they wanted my (the sponsor's) evidence of Irish citizenship (apparently a passport wasn't good enough) and a reissued UK police certificate for the applicant (middle name was omitted on one section). We submitted the required evidence, together with updated travel information, on 4 December.

Good luck everyone!
