mr luvpants Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Hi Guys We started this visa journey 2 years ago when we visited my brother in NSW. My wife Lisa was a student nurse then and she did a placement at Wyong hospitable on the Central Coast whilst out there as part of her training. We both loved it and decided that we wanted to migrate. Since then Lisa has graduated and we have had to put up with all the changes, the IELTS requirements for nurses and DIAC changing the conditions whenever it sees fit. We managed to sell our house in December and are now in rented. So we applied for our 176 on 8th January 2010 thinking nothing else could go wrong. But something major has happened and it is now the end of the visa application road for us and we are off........... ...... OFF TO AUSTRALIA AS TODAY WE HAVE BEEN GRANTED OUR VISA!!!!!:chatterbox: Thank you for everyone's help on here especially Gill.I honestly could not have done it without you guys and I mean that. I did all the paperwork (with your help) and cant believe we got it so quickly. We have booked flights and we leave on Christmas day. We are flying to Brisbane and are looking to settle wherever Lisa gets a job. Thanks guys and good luck to everyone still waiting.
