Yesterday my OH had a 'lunchen' date in London with a bloke - who incidently was a brit but moved to oz XX number of years ago and LOVES it.... and guess what... HE WAS OFFERED a JOB!!!!
not only that, they are paying for our shipment, air tickets etc and they want us there by beginning of FEB 08!!!!
The fact the Qataries haven't issued us with our 'certificate of good conduct' is by the by..... the company will do us a 457 until our proper visa comes through!!!.....
(We have given in to the qataries and have another set of finger prints done.... notorised, attested by home office etc....which i am sure they will only come back and say they 'don't match' again!!!)
but OMG.... we are on our way!!!!!.... regardless!!!!...
Where are you heading in Perth? We are heading south and leave in Jan, will keep track of your posts and maybe Ali might like to organise another Perth meet up!!

Miranda - So Many Congratulations!!
You all Soooo Deserve this! Just PROVES the sun shines on the Righteous...
I'm so pleased for you! Every good wish that all finally proceeds as it should. You must be absolutely thrilled, but just shows that in spite of those Qataris, it was meant to be for you, & your patience & tenacity certainly paid off in spite of stupid obstacles being thrown in your way... Way Hey!!
O! & I bet they will find your prints now - the ones you sent them originally....Yeow!!!
Seems things are finally starting to progress for so many of us after dragging all these months - our Agent said we could get our visa by end of January!!! Eeeikkk!!!
Keep us all updated and let the Good Times Roll
Congratulations & Big Bear Hugs,
Herbster XXX
Glat to hear that - you deserve it! Good Luck with it all!

Oh Min, that is so wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!! I am very happy for you, you have waited so long and had so many obstacles put in your way - obviously this is what was meant to be. As we have said before, patience is a virtue and you have bucketfuls.
How lovely that you can now give the Qataris two fingers(prints).
Many congratulations
Jean
