Thanks so much for the comments so far

Hello! I've been reading through so many pomsinoz.com forums since my bf and I decided to start the visa process for Aus. I wanted to start a new thread to chart our process and also to see how other people going through the same process were getting on. So, what's going on so far..... My bf is a secondary school teacher here in the UK with 5 years experience. He is applying for the 189 visa as a Secondary School teacher and I'll tag along as a de-facto - we've been together a few years and own a property together. We are in our early 30's with no kiddies and both university educated. We haven't sent any paperwork off yet as we've been waiting for all his transcripts to come back. The last one arrived today...yay....and we are going to have the completed application for assessment sent off by the end of the week. And that's as far as we have got!!! It's taken nearly 3/4 months to get all the transcripts together. The ones from his A-Levels took forrrrrrever. The university ones were actually surprisingly quick. The plan is to send off the application for assessment this Friday; get back an approval for us to then apply for an EOI; get some health/police checks; then go on to apply for the visa; pack our bags and move to Sydney....sounds simple doesn't it!? What stories does anyone else applying for the 189 got?! Please....tell me all! h
