Gazbad Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Just an update of my own. Been in Oz since 14/7-15 on an evisitor. Fiji booked for 12/10/15. A pre wedding honeymoon which also satisfies the 3 month rule. Wedding booked for 19/12/15. Just hoping the grant comes through before the wedding! My lovely lady won't change the date so if it isn't granted the paperwork fun and games really start!! Medical and police check both uploaded late June. Don't know my CO as going through an agent. Winter is kinda different in Queensland compared to Manchester! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazbad Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 And just to answer Wan2go. I found it much easier to just sell or give away everything. It's all just material stuff anyway. I carried a hold-alll, a rucksack and a wallet!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I carried a hold-alll, a rucksack and a wallet!! Smart Alec minimalist!! And one of the younger generation perchance?? I have a lifetime of sentimental clutter and furniture that I can't bear to part with - some antiques passed down to me will be up for close scrutiny, not of huge monetary value but very dear to me. All the best, have a lovely wedding and enjoy feathering your new nest together!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazbad Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Younger generation!! You've just become my new best friend!! As long as 40 really is the new 30 maybe!! Thanks for the good wishes. Hope everything goes well for you too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alansuspect Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I never even thought of the visa issue, and the moving company don't seem to mention it anywhere. I'm using Seven Seas Worldwide, I wanted to use their MoveCube but they don't do that on the IOM so we're just packing up our stuff into about 10 boxes (mostly clothes, kitchen stuff and other bits and bobs) and shipping it off. Hopefully my visa comes through before I ship it then! I'm guessing it would have to be a PR visa and not an eVisitor one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseRenders Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Hi all! seems like there are so many people in the same position so wanted to say hi to you all! I was assigned case officer LC on 18th December 2014 for a PMV. All medicals and police checks complete also In December. thanks! Hi Laura! Good luck with everything, won't be too much longer now I bet you can't wait!! Where are you moving to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have to contact OH in doing so? I'm off to Aus in 3 weeks for a two week holiday so will need to get an ETA, but don't want it cancelling my PMV app!!!

alansuspect Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Hi Goose! Yeah I just dropped him an email letting him know what I was doing. I think it will only overwrite your PMV if the visitor visa is granted after the PMV, so if he knows I guess he can be careful! Is the waiting time for PMV the same as Partner visas? If so you shouldn't have anything to worry about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so you shouldn't have anything to worry about I've just replied to his original email (which says not to reply to, lol) and asked him what I should do. Hoping he will reply asap. Our PMV has only been in for 2 months so we have a long wait ahead of us yet! Yeah I think so, 10-14 months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alansuspect Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Yeah that's standard. They only really want you sending docs, and there's no way for them to tell whether an email has docs or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSeeker Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Still nothing yet. Thursday will be ten months since my wife applied for her Partner Visa (Oct 6th 2014). The waiting is interminable! I must admit, I'm a little puzzled as to why some who applied for their visas only a few weeks before us have had their visas for a month or more. Does it all depend on the CO and their workload? Frustrating to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTSpurs Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I'm going use the excuse that I've already booked flights in November (which is 12 months for me) and want to know whether I should apply for a tourist visa waver..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pookie72 Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) Join the New Improved Queue! Join the Queue! How we Brits love a queue!! Thought I'd pass a bit of time whilst I'm waiting and make a list of known applicants from when the application was submitted to DIBP. Please let me know if I've missed you off, have recently been allocated a CO or have had your visa granted. Turns out there's a fair few of us and I'm sure a few silent members/guests out there.
