bugsyburrell Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Hi all, finally had our 457 granted after a big delay!! So apologies as we haven't been on here for a while as we were getting frustrated with not hearing any news then started to think the worse? Anyway all granted now and looking forward to a lot of brain picking with all you lovely people before we depart so look out Baldivis the Burrells are coming!! We are a family of 5 from Essex with three beautiful girls all under 12 so will have lots of schooling questions. Anyway that's us overexcited, yippeeee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bugsyburrell Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Thank you and yes it is!! It dragged in so long we just started to think the worse. We're currently in West Mersea:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikkis2000 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Thanks! We're just down the road in Hatfield Peverel. We know Mersea quite thorough having spent many a camping trip over there! How's the rest of your planning going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugsyburrell Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Your not too far at all. Mersea is lovely but is very isolated. We didn't want to finalise anything until we got the visas, so the hard work starts now. We've done the research on locations, schooling, shops, etc hence the reason for Baldivis but, big but, the last stumbling block before we can move is selling our company. How are you getting along?

Elise Jane Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Congratulations! Bet you are relieved. We have had our 457 application in for 6 weeks now and think we may have had our file picked up this morning. Can I ask how long yours took? The delays are awful!

portlaunay Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Great news, many congrats. When are you looking at moving? Mersea is lovely but is very isolated. Oh really? You'll fit right in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugsyburrell Posted July 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 We had our application submitted in the 13th May, medicals on the 2nd June then thankfully granted in the 26th July. The case officer from Perth was absolutely brilliant as were our agents, anytime our agents submitted or asked a question the CO replied almost immediately. The biggest problem was waiting for the medicals to be processed. And moving date, still open at the mo until we finalise a sale on our company in the uk but as soon as that's thru we will be on the first flight to oz yippee:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
