tommo64 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Just wanted to share our good news with everyone on PIO - Our visa was granted today!:jiggy: Still can't quite believe it really - not quite sunk in yet I don't think. It's been a long journey but it was all worth it in the end. Considering it was looking doubtful at one point whether we would qualify for a visa. I would like to express our thanks to all at Go Matilda who helped us with the skills assessment and visa application. We made enquiries with several agents at the start but it was they who believed in us and gave us the encouragement to go for it. So, tonight we will be celebrating and tomorrow we start planning for our future in Australia. We still have many hurdles to cross (not least the headache of trying to sell the house - talk about mission impossible!). Finally, to all those out there who are just starting out on this road - never give up. You will get there in the end. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know what the science behind it all is but I'm sure we will be willing to try just about anything! Thanks and best wishes. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest labby1 Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Congratulations. They must have been firing them out last night. We got ours just before 11 and still haven't quite come down to earth yet. Moving in Jan so its going to be a hectic month or so. Your so right. Its taken us 18 months to get this far and over many hurdles, but when it comes together you forget all the heart ache. Good luck in selling the house.
