At Last....we got it!!!
Hi everyone...just had to share...
Yesterday our agent called us to say we had our visas!
Cant believe it!
The only thing is we are going on a recce on Monday 2nd April which obviously doesnt give us time to send our passports off to High Commission.Our agent says if we take the e-mail with us from our CO then we should still be able to validate as the stamp they put in the passports is only for show really.
She said there will probably be a few questions at immigration but as soon
as they scan our passports it will flash up that we have PR visas not tourist visas.We can then send our passports off when we return to get them stamped.
What do you all think?
By the way we are on a 136 skilled and it has taken just under a year from start to finish so those of you waiting ...keep at it .It will be worth it in the end.
Got to go...need to pack for our recce!!
