I've even took their pjs to change into, favourite blanket and cuddly. The lights will usually be dimmed for 5 hours after the evening meal so as soon as they clear the trays get them ready for 'bed' and snuggled down for the night!

Do you happen to know if you can use a car seat? My wife seems to think you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy little Vegemite Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 HLVM, well done on making it over safely. Brilliant that you are loving it already. Must be wonderful having family there to ease you in gently. I truly take my hat off to all of you that make the journey without family and friends at the other end to help you out! We have had so much help and support from our families on both sides that it has certainly made the process much easier. Good luck with your travels all of you coming soon!

Guest Guest6235 Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Hi, Hope all goes well for you and you can send it all off in one go ( unlike me!!) Every time I look at our avatar pic it makes me smile Hi Ali, Just reading what you had to do to register with WA, wow. My wife has decided to register with them once we get our visa as at first we were going to do it once we got there. Somebody we know in Yanchep registered when he got to Perth and took around a couple of hours. The thing is like you have said it's probably best to do it from England and then if there is something missing that they require then hopefully it will be easier to get.

Hi Happy little Vegemite, We are coming over later this year (returning) and hope to build on our Wannanup block. How is Mandurah these days? It's 4 years since we left Pleasant Grove.

pearcen Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 Hi all. Just had the news my Partner Permanent Residency Visa will be finalised within the next week or two, so I'll be on the first flight out to join my Aussie wife and our children as soon as I get the final nod which should be before the 21st May. They came over to Perth in December to get things organised so I've been missing them like mad. Only just registered here, but looks like a great resource for when my wife and in-laws can't answer any questions I've got. Also good to keep in contact with some people from the Old Country. I'll save all my questions for another time/post. Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there ever a chance you wouldn't get the visa as that would have been disastrous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there ever a chance you wouldn't get the visa as that would have been disastrous. It would of been a major appeal job if that had happened. As we've been married 10 years and living in the UK for all that time together, two kids, etc, etc, etc, they put me on the PR visa track straight away without having to worry about the temporary one first, so we felt confident enough. Still a BIG relief though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
