Ok - wish us luck!!!
Ok - so I'm just about to submit my EOI.
Eeeekkkkk!! Nervous!
105 points - not much I know - but we are claiming bonus points for a qualification in an area of absolute skills shortage so we may be picked - you never know - fingers and toes crossed.
My mind is full of 'what if's' but I'll never know if we can do it until we just DO IT!!!
Thank you for all your helpful advice and I shall continue to post our progress as it comes along (and hopefully we'll join all you happy people in NZ one of these days).
Thanks

Re: Ok - wish us luck!!!
no job offer unfortunately so I know we are in for a long wait and probably a rollercoaster ride,
just age points 25, partner points 20, and qualification points 60 (including 10 bonus points for qual in absolute skills shortage)

Everybody's applications are going through quite quickly at the moment so it might all happen sooner than you think 
Good Luck and let us all know how you get on.

Re: Ok - wish us luck!!!
We only had 110 points and were selected 4 days after submitted, so there's hope for you too! 
Received our ITA exactly 8 weeks later, but you might get it sooner as things seem to be moving faster for everyone no matter what stage they're at. Good luck!

GOOD LUCK!
We have 140 points so when we submit our EOI next week I'm hoping to be selected fairly quickly! I'll let you know as I'm sure we'll have loads of questions to ask at that stage!
Fingers crossed for you

Eeeeekk!! Selected in yesterdays draw! Already - so quick!!!
Now I'm riddled with doubts that they'll find holes in our EOI - no, no, think positive, but will hold off the champagne until we're certain.
