Default Can't help worrying....

I wonder if I could gather some comments from some of you ?

When we had our initial consultation with the migration agent, they said they could see no reason why we couldn't get in to Australia. In other words, in their eyes we qualify.

We have passed the TRA stage and have now sent our main application off to DIMIA...

...but I still cannot help but worry constantly that we might not get it !

Does everybody feel like this ?

If your agent says they can't see any reason, then you can stop worrying. You will get in. Agents don't waste time with people that can't get in. They may have just made you feel unsure so you'll go with them and pay their fee.

Also saying that. I'm at the very last stage of my visa and i won't believe it until i have it in my hand.

Don't worry!" good luck

Maybe it's the effects of the 'waiting game' that is making me worry ...?

Yep we feel the same no matter how many times our agent laughs at us and tells us to relax

Initially, if you meet the 120 point requirement then I think it shouldn't be a problem.

Hi,

I worried about not getting mine, but I eventually convinced myself that I had enough points (oh, how many times I worked it out), I had the correct skills assessment and I (and my family) was in good health. I got my visa.

It's natural to worry I guess, but if you have all these things then you should be alright!

Default Re: Can't help worrying....

The trouble is if you are a worrier you will worry no matter what.

We applied for a spouse visa, as I am already an Oz citizen, we had the children made oz citizen by descent (no problem through in a few days) however when it came to the 6 week wait for my hubby's spouse visa I did nothing but worry that something would go wrong. 6 weeks is nothing compared to what some poor people have to endure.

All I can say is, try to keep positive and I tried to keep telling myself "whatever will be, will be".

Good luck and hope it all goes quickly and smoothly.

Louise
