Hey, we also in Durbs, we busy waiting for Case Officer to be allocated for our 189 visas!!!!!

Would be great to chat to someone else who is going through the same thing - not many people our side enjoy hearing about Aus the whole time but process has kind of consumed us!!!!

Take Care

We are also in Durbs (North Coast) and have only now (finally) decided to make the move to Auz (After almost 2 - 3 years of talking about it! Could kick myself! hahaha) It would be great to meet up sometime, maybe closer to December holidays so we are a bit further along in the process and can share? at this stage we are still figuring out how to get started! :blush-anim-cl: Any advice on your first few steps would be GREATLY appreciated :-)

Hi guys. I also live in Durban. My visa was granted in July and I have just returned from Brisbane after being there for almost a month. Meet up sounds good.

Is there still anyone in Durban wanting to meet for a chat, we have decided very recently to make the move and I would appreciate any help as to how to go about the process. Which agencies to use and what to do first.

Hi guys also in Durban and would love to meet up. Also have our permanent resident visa and looking to move to either Melbourne or Sydney.

Ed unless youre case is a complicated one I would stronly advise doing the visa process yourself. We did it and saved us a fortune! There is more than enough information on this site to point you in the right direction. It was also a bit mind boggling at first to know where to start but honestly I am glad that we did the visa ourselves.

Let us know if you would like to meet up.

Ps: Feel feel free to email me if you require any information, more than happy to help out. But this forum is fantastic and we got most of our information here:-)

How do you feel about lunch time at a shopping centre. Then weather will not be an issue? Maybe Pavillion as everyone knows it? If you agree I will start a new post for this?
