HI Quoll,
Thanks for your reply. I have been trying to read as much as I can to understand the new process. Does it matter if I applied for my visa 18 months ago, or is the the fact that I am too old.... I can at least spend 4yrs in my sponsored position I suppose. .....very disappointimg though. I thought I would have been informed prior to my visa being granted in October where I could have the option to decline.
