Australia says YES!!!!!!!
Hi all
Finally after 9 months of waiting I can happily say. Thank you DIMIA, thank you case officer - we have our visa.
Australia, Gold Coast here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank goodness we got it really as we have sold the house, the businesses and are now just waiting to complete on the house and we really didnt want to have to go into rented. Now we dont have to.
I will be ringing my buyer in the morning to discuss a completion date and if all goes well we should be heading out the end of this month.
Apparently there was a bit of a delay on the visa as the quota was full for the year. The agent said he got quite a few visas through today. So congrats if anyone else is in my boat.
good luck to everyone still waiting.
Nicola
