Hi,
I'm new to this site, n i would like to say hi to everyone who already have or are in the process of making this immence move. We are a family of 6 with literally weeks before we arrive
We're just waiting on our visas! Aargh.......and the wait is killing me.
We are told that once immigration receives everything the process takes from 3-6 it's now been 3 months.
Can anybody tell me how long they waited ? regards Mel.

Hi stormysqueak1 a BIG welcome to PIO. Hang in there. The waiting is terrible, but once you get your visa's the feeling is fantastic. Where in OZ are you hoping to live?

Hi there and welcome to PIO - there is always something to wait for - we are now waiting to sell our house. Good luck and hopefully soon you will have the news you are waiting to hear.

Karen, Mick and Lewis

Hi there Karen, mick and lewis we were so lucky with our house..... it was only on the market for 14 days and it sold subjuct to contract of course, even luckier, the new buyers dont wish to move as yet because of a baby due shortly so they said they are happy to wait till we're ready to leave i do hope yours sells quick too!!!!
Where abouts are you heading for in OZ.

HI,

Welcome to PIO - like everyone else also completely sick of waiting am trying to keep myself busy but doesn't seem to take my mind off the waiting!

Hope it all goes well for you.

Nikci
