Victoriwa Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Hi All, just wanted to quickly post & say hello to everyone on this (ever so useful) forum!! our family has made the decision to say farewell to this country and try our luck at the migration route to Western Australia; most likely Perth in particular. Hope to be able to chat with as many of you as possible. And all the best of luck with your own paths!! Rik + Victoria + Rudy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victoriwa Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Hello and welcome Say hello to your lot Off topic: You know little ones,are they all spawned from the devil or is it just ours......... Why thank you @7cdb & I'll be glad to pass your greeting up the ranks! Run you ragged, don't they? I've never felt/looked so worn out... Though never have I been so madly in love with such a wild, nonsensical animal before, so reckon he's probably stuck with me!! I ought to stop there before I drag this thread off on a mad mumsy gush & bore everyone to tears... Although I should perhaps forewarn everyone that posts will follow where I'm being driven crazy & enquiring about solo child visas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild rose Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Hi Victoria This forum is so friendly and helpful, I've found it to be a god send at times! I'm at the point where our 189 visa has been submitted and we're hoping to hear any time whether it's been granted (and the wait is slowly killing me!!!!). If there's anything I can help with I'll be more than happy to try. We're hoping to move to Perth at the end of October so not long now, just need that blasted visa!!! When are you hoping to make the move? It's all exciting isn't it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopeful Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Hi Victoria, welcome to PP and to the adventure of your life! we started our journey looking at emigrating to Perth last September when I saw and applied for a job I liked the look of. I joined PP in the October and we arrived in Perth yesterday!!! Just waiting for hubby to tie loose ends up with the sale of our UK home and he's out in two weeks. Here at last in under a year, start work a week on Monday wahoo! Hope you have as much luck and good fortune as we have had. This site and the wonderful people on it saved us a lot of time and money on providing the guidance and answers to our many questions without which we may not have got here or at least would have needed to use an agent. Good luck! Nicky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annjean Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Good luck with the start of your journey, lots of advice to be had here, Portlaunay looks a bit scary tho, but never judge a book by it's cover so they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When are you hoping to make the move? It's all exciting isn't it! Hello to you @WildRose; you're all proving to be such a friendly bunch already. I'm feeling most welcome! Thank you for the offer of assistance. I shall try to keep my pestering constructive & to a minimum... We have it fixed in our minds that the visa will take 12 months to obtain and so are aiming to be set up in Aus within 12-24 months*. We've decided on using an agent to minimise stress and errors, so I shouldn't pester for info that much (she says!), but it'd be great to a birds eye view from you lovely lot of life in Perth once y'all land there... Weve not even started on looking at which boroughs/schools etc we should look to move to! *Finances permitting, of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
