Default Victoria Want Us

Got the best call ever this morning - our agent called us to say "Victoria want you". Our stni application has been approved

Woohooo, get the BBQ warmed up, we're coming to Melbourne

Totally shocked as we'd convinced ourselves we'd be rejected again, and also, didn't expect to hear anything for a good few weeks yet.

We're off for a long weekend to a fab hotel this weekend to celebrate (was booked already BTW). So, I'm off to my Mum and Dad's withthe girls today to break the news and Mike's gone off to work with a MEGA smile on his face.

Thanks, isn't it just perfect. We head off tonight for 3 days in a luxury hotel with 6 hours a day of childcare. Now, where's the champagne?

Hi Diane, for us it's been a long process. We applied in September last year and were rejected and had to wait 6 months before reapplying. We did this on the 12th June so it's been around 5-6 weeks since then. From what I've seen on the immigration forum, it can take up to 12 weeks.

Congratulations!
When do you plan to move?
Hopefully the weather will warm up a bit before you come, mind you it was beautiful and sunny here in Melbourne today. Freezing this morning but warmed up to a really nice 15 degrees!

If I can be of any help to you in your move let me know.
