hi

my husband is applying for a 176 subclass visa we have been sponsored by tasmanian gov, as he is dyslexic ive been doing most of the form gathering all the info etc and have been really positive and excited all the way through we have an appointment with solicitor tonight to certify certain things the form is finished and all i have to do press the send button but now have a mad panic wondering if we are doing the right thing etc please tell me everyone else feels like this

Hi Cass73!

My hubby and I(and daughter) did all this yesterday! We finally pressed submit
I have been feeling mega excited, however after i clicked on the little button yesterday i felt sick...strange, i know! Think that it just has taken to longest time to reach this point and providing we get the visa the only other thing left to do is move over there

It's the thought of family and friends staying behind and the realisation that filling out some forms and getting documents certified and sent has actually been the easiest part of the journey - now we face(after a bit of a wait) moving our little family and our whole life to the other side of the world - you think about it all, but not really, if that makes sense?! Always seems so far away but now it's actually submitted we feel so nervous - in a good way

Anyway, what i'm saying is the way you feel is natural, i've certainly been feeling the same and i'm sure many others have too!

Good luck with it all

guys as this is not a migration question I've moved it to the barbie where lighthearted chat is more suited to that forum

I wasn't bothered applying for the visa as I knew actually moving would be a long way off. However booking the one way flights last October made me feel sick to my stomach! The husband wasn't bothered in the slightest and couldn't understand why I was hesitating but it took me a few days to actually hit the button! I guess it's the realisiation that something monumental is under way...it's one thing to talk about it, it's another to actually get the ball rolling

I think it is absolutely normal, after all, it is a huge, life changing step.
The entire visa & moving process is one huge rollercoaster ride. Lots of luck.

Thomas Edison said invention is about 5% inspiration and 95% perspiration, so is migration, I started my migration paperwork thinking it will be such fun getting out of my routine and doing something completely new however after getting stuck in IELTS I realized that point of no return does come somewhere in between your migration journey , mine was very quick. The best thing about the whole process is learning more and more about ourselves which we wont until we don't get out of our comfort zones,

One has to leave sight of shore in order to explore new lands.

A panic attack is altogether much worse than a bit of pre migration nervousness.

The lack of punctuation is more worrying...

Oh, how clever.

As some one who after spending 12 hrs in Emergency with the worst physical symtoms I have ever had in my life (and I've survived a brain tumour and subsequent surgery) to be told that the vertigo and palpatations were actually a "panic attack" I can verify that migrating is FAR FAR FAR worse...

Thanks evreyone feel much better about it all going to re-read through my form tonight and get, better tell everyone out there who are dyslexic to stay away from your posts

It can be scarey being dyslexic and filling in forms... HE is ... Which is why I do all the paperwork in our house... He makes a mean hot chocolate souffle though, so I can't complain.... I reckon I get the better deal out of that one

i think you do maybe i should send him to the kitchen to cook me somthing scrummy

button pressed, tasmania here we come (hopefully)

Since when was Tasmania part of Australia??????

Do you have webbed toes, no teeth and play a banjo?

If not, you may not fit in...
