SuzieH Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Well today I have completed the visa application online and paid for that and also booked for me and my girls to have chest x-rays which is all that flagged up on the visa. The searches should have been started on our house sale today but as they're cash buyers they don't have to have a survey. Hopefully it'll all be done quickly. Plus I've put a few more items on ebay to sell :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W8ENN Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Contacted Crown today and gave them the good news that I will be making them slightly richer. I'll be booking one way flights for the 7th November over the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GilraenH Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Seven Seas delivered our empty boxes. My prospective boss viewed a couple of fully furnished units in the same block for us, she then emailed us the photos and we have since applied for one of 2, whichever is available in the hope that we will have them for when we move over. Prospective tenants for our house came tonight will sign tenancy agreement etc over the weekend and move in beginning of November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candygirl Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Congrats Ozzies. Spoke to a client of ours today who has a house for rent (in the street behind ours actually). Would be perfect. Our buyers should be paying the deposit tmoz, so finger's crossed they do then we can confirm the rental and relax a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got caught within all the visa changes, gave up a few times, thought never going to happen, we changed state, done ielts, every time it was our time, they changed priority. We first approached an agent sept 07, finally granted jan 11. But onwards and upwards, just hope we can afford to live there now lol xx hope o be there this year, but prob jan 13.

happycat Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Ozzies, it sounds like we were trying to apply at the same time- at one point I'd spent weeks researching areas for the state sponsorship, when I was about to send the info to agent, I got another email through saying they closed the doors. My god, I can only smile now because we have come out the other side. We are moving in January 2013 so we are on count down now. Good Luck Everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ren ren Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Well we have officially put our house on the market. Hubby's visa should come through within next few weeks so the only thing holding us up will then be the house. Fingers crossed that someone out there is looking and this is their perfect house and it's snapped up ( I can but dream) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silus Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Put 2nd coat of varnish on two floors in the continuing, and seemingly endless, decoration schedule in getting the house ready for rent. Now freezing with all doors and windows open so it drys and we can cross the hall to go to bed tonight! Contacted 4 removal firms as we have to ship by the 15th Nov.# Booked accommodation for Nov so we can get out after stuff has shipped and let the carpet firm lay the new carpets in the bedrooms and stairs. Ordered Crocs - love crocs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milliem Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I finally got rid of my huge sofa today. I am now only 3 weeks from shipping. The closer I get to shipping the less I find I actually want to take with me so I have decided to sell a few more items. I only have a car for one more week so need to do most of my lifting and shifting sooner rather than later. Booked a local hotel for shipping day and we leave for London the day after. :biggrin: Millie x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mum2jacobemilia Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Spent the last weekend studying for my degree. Final exam on Friday then my 4 year degree is finally finished. Just the small matter of completing a PGCE before applying for a visa though but I feel like I am finally one step closer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
