Smile We have taken the first official step

Well, we are truly doing more than just considering emigrating to Oz. Last week I paid for and sent off hubbies papers for TRA.
Paid extra to fast track so should know by xmas if that is all ok.
It is VERY SCARY!!
Decided to DIY our application - felt did not need an agent with all you helpful lot out there. Let's hope I am right.
Guess you will be hearing a lot more from us in the coming months.
So thanks in advance!
Now I need to start working on our main application so I can get that off as soon as we get back our trade stuff.
Any hints or tips always welcome.

i know how you feel as do most people on this site, be prepared for a rollercoaster ride, plenty of up's and downs lay ahead.

good luck with everything, any problems you encounter just pop in here and somebody will be able to help.
