Well, now that things are clipping along apace with Adelaide, we were expecting things to get a bit busy. What we didn’t expect, though, is our house buyer to pop up and confirm that he is signing missives tomorrow after all, leaving us a grand total of nine days to find somewhere else to live.

I thought I’d put this post together to give people who are thinking of moving from the UK to Australia the kind of costs they can expect to face. The costs are split into three sections. Direct migration costs are fees and charges payable directly to various bodies in Australia and are payable whether you

Latest dates are in from DIMA in Adelaide. Applications lodged between 28th November and 5th December are currently being allocated. Not only is this us, but we’re also at the top of the pile. What this could mean is that things could now hurtle along at a brisk rate of knots, with medicals being requested

We gave Adelaide a sneaky call in the wee small hours and they confirmed that they’re currently processing the 20th of November, so it looks like the estimates are right. So we’re looking at about 4 weeks, I reckon, until it’s all over. Our house buyer reckons it’s all on again. Yeah right. We’re going

Okay, because of the blogging software I used to use, the root directory of Nelefa.org is teeming with thousands of image files which, as well as making the site a pain in the neck to maintain, is offending my sense of order. So, I’m going to be deleting the whole lot and reuploading them via

Blimey! You’re a keen lot! Traffic does a little bit of a jump on Tuesdays – must be because it’s the only day I have anything to say! Anyway, applications for the Skilled Australian Sponsored visa subclass which were lodged between the 14th and 22nd of November are currently being allocated case officers. This means

Dot’s turn this time. She decided she was going to ride her bike, yesterday, and asked for the training wheels off. Then she just kinda got on with it. Minimal help from mum and dad, just wanted to do it her way. And here she is, in all her newly mobile glory. Edit: Erm, well,

We’re really in the final throes of things. It’s entirely possible that we may have the visa granted in the next month. But with the house sale falling through, everything seems so very far off at the moment. For the prospective migrants that this site is aimed at, I just can’t describe what the waiting
