nicolac34 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Oh wow..how exciting...do they live here in UK?...i didnt realise you could lodge the application form from over there in Oz?..is it easier that way?.. Yes they are still in the UK. It doesn't make a huge difference who lodges it really, as I had to send it by courier, so could just have easily been sent from the UK by courier - was just less expensive for me to send it. I was back in England in May so I went through all the forms with my parents then and got all the relevant documents from them. The hardest part has been getting all the stuff together from my brother to try and prove that he's been 'settled' for two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
