Aaaah! Can you stand still? Thought not! How scary, sure it will be fine, the visa officer we saw told us that once you get to interview stage unless you tell big whoppers you're extremely unlikely to get a negative! Well done, brilliant news.

How nerve wracking was the interview?

Visa officer was very lovely, no difficult questions, very straight forward (I think)just a waiting game now, can't quite believe it's all done, may need to have a medicinal one.....or two :beer:

Nah I am fine this morning. Jst been a very hard few days - new puppy - which is driving me mad, but the kids love her, as does my other dog - I think?? The extra work with her is immense though, and been very very homesick. I hate that I get it - but I do - and every now and then for a couple a days I am miss negative and vile - then I just wake up feeling better as quicly as it comes - it goes????? I miss my folks soooooooo much, am very close to my family and I still feel like a peice of me is missing at times, sometimes all the material things don't seem worth the heartache, but this morning I am back to sunshine and feeling better - and back to myself - thank god. Sorry to moan last night guys - I'm fine again now and feeling more positive. :)

Congratulations - typical about the job offer though but well done on that too! We can see us getting there on visitors visas, submitting the ITA in Christchurch, then getting PR dead quick, even though we've been told probably March because we're not on any shortagest lists.

Nearly there - it's too scary for words isn't it. :scared:
