milliem Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Honey, you are on your way and no amount of hoops is gonna stop you now. You are our Inspiration to never give up!!!! xxx Aaaw thanks C girl:embarrassed::wub: . I felt quite deflated when I got the visa because I had been doing battle for som long I didn't know how to feel. Now I am gearing for a new battle and tbh I will gladly take and work my backside off at any job in Oz in any town - don't care what it is. If it means I can hit the 35 hours per week for permanent residency I will do it with a smile.:smile: Keep after your dream. It will happen for you.

Candygirl Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 OH had a very good chat with a skills specialist in ACT, who certainly knows his "Onions" and has sent an email on our behalf to TRA. Saying exactly what we wanted to say, but in "their language" so we have everything crossed here for a positive response. My Wrinklies arrive here in Spain tonight to cheer me up!
