Default i have finally applied!!!

its been 3 weeks since we returned from spending 5 weeks with my brother in brisbane and we have have found ourselves a migration agent (visaconnection), they say we should get in on skilled migration visas.
We have posted all application off to them with copies of certs and photos etc.. just a matter of the long wait most of you people are going through. They say about a year to get visas, how do you cope? i cant sleep at night now, there must be an easier way of getting in, is there?
It dont help with the bloody weather as miserable as it is.

Oh well,

Brendan.

Welcome to the forum. Most of us don't cope, we just get addicted to expats. It is a long time to wait, you'll get lots of high and lows, one minute you're doubting, the next certain! You just have to get on with the rest of your life and stay good humoured throughout - hence the general forum nuttiness from the British side.

welcome to the waiting game, it gets pretty tedious and will get you down but overall it has to be worth it, either that or we are all mad.
