Hey that's brilliant news Mandy, huge relief. There are some on the Immi forum who could do with some of your patience

Now we need to get TWT over and that's about everyone from the old days.

Really pleased for you. Look out Darwin!

I noticed you had posted on the 'getting to Australia by the Defence Force' thread.

I kind of knew that would be the response because of the conversation on the other thread but even knowing that I still feel so gutted and yet we've only just started.

What have you graduated in? huge congrats on your graduation as well.

I'm currently doing an OU degree (should finish next June) in English... really really want to train as a Primary School Teacher (not for emigration reasons just something I've wanted to do for a long long time).

Anyway huge congrats once again... I guess now begins the hectic packing and preparing for the move

Thanks Nicki i have completed my Open BSc with the OU, i was aiming to get a a BSc in health and social care(HONS) but due have a really bad 2008 i failed one of my exams so instead opted to do the open BSc so i could still graduate on time for the move to Oz.
Good luck with your studying.

To every one else thank you for the warm wishes.
MP my OH would not agree with you on my patience as im not known forbeing patient and that was the hardest thing, knowing we had a battle on our hands and trying every avenue.
Having freinds up over the weekend and there will be lots of booze drunk and plenty of merriment

So the organising for the move has started and hopefully after my graduation ceremony on the 8th of May we will be on our way to a new life.
