It's not a right thing or a wrong thing... it's just a thing you're doing.

its the waiting that gets you, gives you longer to reassess your motives for going away from the initial excitement of yippeee lets do it, lets emigrate.
im still in the skills assesment stage (10 week wait for nurses at the mo) and im starting to wonder if im mad, but i still want to go.

There are two types of questions:

What the hell am I doing?

Do I still want to do this?

The two are entirely different. The former is normal and natural in the face of the great unknown. I'd be worried if people about to emigrate didn't ask themselves this. The latter indicates that perhaps you no longer want to make the move - for whatever reason. It's a much more serious question.

So long as you're only asking questions of the former nature, you're normal.

Here endeth the lesson. That's $200, thanks.

After 23 months from start to grant ....I really want to go now!!!! I have asked that question everysingle day for those 23 months and will probably keep doing so for a long time yet! If we stayed, I'm sure I'd still be asking exactly the same question!

I can answer more questions, but the rate increases.

Should I set up a premium rate helpline, I wonder ...?

We have had some "are we doing the right thing" over the last year and should we do a reccie as we had never been to OZ.
We are here now on our Reccie and love it, all worry's about doing the right thing have gone and I have had a couple of job offers which was my biggest worry. Just need to get our house sold and we can move out here.
