NiniJ Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 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! Any advice on your first few steps would be GREATLY appreciated :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 (edited) 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:-) Edited March 14, 2015 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QACR Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Ok so lets do this. When is good for you? I was thinking month end. I know some will be doing IELTS in 28th so maybe 29th Sunday? Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDurand Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 HI the 29th is good for me, where should we do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QACR Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) 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? Edited March 16, 2015 by QACR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDurand Posted March 16, 2015 Report Share Posted March 16, 2015 Sounds Great let me know when and where, maybe start a new thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
