Daz (Plumber), and Cheryl (Librarian) and Emma (Darran's daughter), who is included on our visa, but is stopping in the UK for the time being - keeping her options open!

 

136 - Skilled Independent Visa granted March 08

 

All three of us fly out to validate on 17th of October. My work contract is holding us up moving properly, though Daz may stay to get underway with his licences etc.

 

We were going to either the Brisbane surrounds or Sunshine coast, but we're validating by visiting a friend of Darran's in Perth, and have a feeling we might like it there too, so at this stage we're not sure!

 

All will be clearer hopefully by the beginning of November,

 

Best wishes,

 

Cheryl

Lewis 5, Pain in the As*

Permenant Residency Visa (136) as of May 08. Arrived Sunshine Coast July 08. Living in Maroochydore (Alexandra Headland), having a great time, despite a few teething problems.

Top tip, don't buy a car with any sort of hail damage or rust!

We are going to buy in the Maroochdore, Buderim, Alexandra Headland area, best spots on the Sunshine Coast buy a sunny mile.

Just be prepared to have some of your dreams and expectations dashed and you'll be OK.

Hi all! We are:

 

Lizzie 34 - midwife (main applicant)

Steve 42 - Distribution manager & HGV driver

Hannah 16

Jack 11

 

We sent off for our PR 121 visa (ENS) on 3rd Sept and have got out meds booked for 8th Oct in Salford, Manchester. As yet, the employer nomination has not been approved (this was sent 5wks ago!!) but we're hoping that'll be granted any day now . . . fingers and everything else x'd!!

 

We're hoping to be in Perth by the beginning of January and live in either Butler or Mindarie.

 

Our house has been up for sale since Febuary but no buyer yet, even though we've dropped £18000 off the price are in negative equity even if it sells . . . . ouch!!

 

Good luck to everyone else who's playing the waiting game ;0)
