Haha! That resonates with both me and my other half!!! Only I reckon I check Xe about 12 times a day! We're not too far apart Kathss56 and going to Perth too. Did I ask you where you were looking?

LindaH27 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 (edited) hi New member and learning so much from this forum. Had intended to apply for 143 back in 2015 but as daughter went on maternity leave and therefore less money we thought we would have to leave it till she was back at work for a while. Wish I had known they would have accepted her past years salary! Finally put application in June 2017 so a long way to go and feel somewhat downhearted but you all seem very supportive and I hope to learn much more!

Been there, done that - if it’s any consolation it does get easier! Don’t worry too much, it will all happen eventually. Given that so much is not in your control then it really isn’t worth giving it too much energy. Just go with the flow and start to adopt the more laid back Australian way. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathss56 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Different makes have different reputations etc over there, depending where the parts come from and where they are made. What is a great model here maybe not so great there. Hard to decide. I sense a good car shopping research trip coming on !! ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaH27 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Daughter in Australia has really nice Nissan X trail - costs her in dollars what I would have to pay in pounds!! Prices seem much cheaper over there. On another note I do hope Immi get their act together as the surge in 2016 applications seems to imply my 2017 application could take a very very long time ! - but very pleased that the 2015 applicants are starting to get through 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
