I dont get much chance to get on here much as where we are staying has no internet connection but i just thought id let you know that we have had our pre grant letter today!!! YIPEEEEE.
As you can see from my timeline the whole process has taken 6 months (which has seemed like FOREVER). We are now looking at booking our flights for early Jan 08.
anyway I will sign off for now as I am using my friends computer, but to all those out there still waiting KEEP YOUR FINGERS CROSSED and it will all be worth the wait.
GOOD LUCK
Kim xx

Congrats.

Well done you - fantastic feeling isn't it? Now the fun really starts, I'm having kittens trying to start the list of thing to do before we go over . Looking back I think the actual application was probably the easy bit for us as OH's TRA was very straight forward and he filled in all the forms. Now I'd better pull my weight
Big celebrations tonight then .................. enjoy!!!!!
