Residency Approved.. Really!!
I just had to create a dedicated thread because we got approved for residency today. I apologise for the self-indulgence.
So, Me, the missus and our herd of kids (we have four) will be heading over to Wellington on March 26th.
I know there have been thousands before us, and there will be thousands after us, but just for today, just for right now, we're revelling in how exclusive it feels to have completed all the necessary requirements, gone through all the medicals, provided all the documentation, covered the associated costs (including the upcoming migrants levy fees) and are being allowed to take up residency.
It's a weird feeling though isn't it? Lurching from being overjoyed at receiving residency approval to the emotions of "oh my god - we're going"...

We'll hopefully be following the rocky road to residency in the not too distant future. Good luck with the next stages to getting out here
