I can't believe it, it has actually happened. We checked our online application and there it was 'Applicant Approved'. We now have our permanent residency visa for Australia. It has taken 4 months and 2 weeks to get which has surprised me as I always thought it took over 12 months. We have until September 2009 to validate the visa and 5 years to move over there. Hopefully it won't take too long to sell our house and we will be able to move there early next year. I think selling the house may prove harder than getting the visa as house sales have fallen dramatically. Fingers crossed that someone will fall in love with it, offer us the asking price and then we can start our new life in Australia.Monday, 20 October 2008

Welcome to Australia ;) We are a pretty friendly bunch and I know you are going to love it here. I hope the house sells well.
I jsut wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS and welcome to OZ. I lived in Scotland for a few years so I can tell you it will be different than living in the UK. But so good for your children. I hope all goes well with the move and just remember the world really is a small place. All the best.
the last time i was here i cannot do a comment.
btw, congrats!!! you are right, selling a house right now is a mess. we are lucky that we sold it before crisis.
about my application. my registration has been approved. my agency is looking for an employer so that me and my family can get a visa. our target to go. since we don't have property to sell is early next year.
good luck to both of us :)
