Ktee Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 I thought I would do a thread on who was moving to Australia this year, sometimes it's nice to chat to others at a similar stage to yourself. I have also included a poll for what month you are hoping to touch down on Aussie soil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gar374 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Our house is on the market and I'm contracted to work until the End of June, so hoping we can get it to all come together at the right time with a view to moving in August - although, it all goes well, July would not be out of the question. Mega stressed about the house at the minute. The shippers are coming in to quote for us too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havnt yet!! My employer is nominating my tomorrow and says that should be back by Monday then I can do my visa. Is that right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drhebden Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Ah right yes - sounds tight if planning to fly in just ~5 weeks from applying but if mine is in the process then that's only taken 4 weeks. Just as back up I've made sure all our normal visitor visas are in place so we will be flying over whatever the situ.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as back up I've made sure all our normal visitor visas are in place so we will be flying over whatever the situ.. Ooo this is risky?! I have a job to start on the 13th but if the visa has not arrived this can be moved back. I don't see why we wouldn't be granted the visa but still a little worried of flying without it x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
