Cross Everything for us Chaps
Last year we applied to Victoria for STNI and were sadly rejected. They told us we could reapply in 6 months and that time has now come.
We've spent the last few months working on OH's CV, contacting recruitment agents, employers and basically anyone that we think can help support our case.
We think that OH's CV is now looking amazing, and with the benefit of hindsight, we KNOW the first one just wasn't up to scratch. We made the mistake of assuming the sponsorship was in the bag but not this time.
OH has also informed his employers of our plans and they have been really great in providing a fantastic reference for him which we didn't have last time around. We're also hoping that by telling OH's employers, Vic might see how serious and dedicated to moving to Melbourne we are.
We've really worked hard to try and prove to Victoria that OH will get a job. This has been a really useful exercise for us as with 2 v small children, we obviously don't want hassles getting a job, and Mike is now 100% confident that if he can just get a visa, he'll get a job offer no problem.
So chaps, keep everything crossed for us. The new application for sponsorship should go in in the next few days. The thought of not getting to go to Melbourne is not something we really want to think about as that is where our hearts are.
And by the way, if any of you think you might be a distant relative give us a shout
