juliew1499 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Hi after some last minute wobbles finally sent off the docs to PVC in Perth. Having great fun watching DHL processing our document parcel. Has now left Heathrow.......From what I can gather it's now a long waiting game. :arghh: Any other parents recently applied? We will be going to Mornington Peninsular so would be good to know of other parents in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Grey Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Good on ya. Don't panic if it takes a long while for them to acknowledge it, there's obviously been a big surge in applications recently and they were slow at acknowledging before that surge.

AmandaJB Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Hi juliew1499, we too have just sent our 143 app this week, it arrived in Perth Tuesday morning (my son sent it on from Sydney for us, once adding his sponsor form) - going to Sydney so nowhere near to you, but we will no doubt have a similar timeline. How exciting and nervewracking this is going to be!! And a looooong wait before we even receive an acknowledgement from what I understand. It'd be good to see how our applications progress, and others too will hopefully join :-) I guess we'll be quiet for a while? and saving... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliew1499 Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 Hi Amanda DHL just e mailed to say application arrived and signed for at PVC this morning.

Sooty Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Hi our CPV visa took 16 months to go through, granted October 2013. We've lived on the Mornington Peninsula for nearly 6 years and never looked back, we miss friends and relatives but not the UK weather or traffic, good luck with your visa, the non contributary visa has now been closed so only the expensive route for parents available now.

Sadge Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I've just sent my forms for the 143 visa to my agent and he'll be submitting all the paperwork to Perth early next week. Last minute scramble to get everything together just in case the application fee goes up on 1st July. At the moment I'm considering the Geelong area but there's plenty of time for change of mind, as I'm not expecting anything much to happen for a good while yet!

Bridgeman Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Not sure if you are aware of the parent visa thread here: http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/77756-brand-new-pio-parents-visa-thread-697.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaJB Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Excellent news Julie, such a relief once that initial step is taken, and good to know we are not alone :-) Time to relax a little while, before all the really hard work kicks in - I'm going to keep an eye on the thread suggested by Bridgeman too, must be lots of us out there! and more now that 1 July is creeping up so quickly. I am truly gutted for anyone who was going to lodge the non-contributory parent visa and can no longer go that route. Feeling very fortunate right now. I'll definitely update when our acknowledgement is received, which seems likely around autumn. Keep us updated, and in the meantime, let's enjoy the summer we are having here so far this year !! :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juliew1499 Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Hi Paul and Linda it's so good to know there are other parents out there going through the same hoops. We (Mike and I) live in Cornwall and we are finding it difficult to leave all the quaint villages and history behind. We are off to Oz for 7 weeks this winter and will be doing some serious research as to where we want to live. have found NAB and Moneycorp to be extremely helpful and we now have a NAB. Account that we can use when we go this winter and we will be all set up for banking before we emigrate. Another tick on the list of things to do. Why on earth does it take so long for PVC to acknowledge receipt of the docs - it doesn't give me any confidence in them at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
