UK to NZ January 2011
Can't believe I started this Monthly arrivals thread over 12 months ago!!!
Dewb kindly carried it on when I was in 'virtual silence' and now that Dewb is in the 'same boat' ( so to speak
) I think I'd better keep it going .........so.....
ROLL UP, ROLL UP!!! all you January leavers....I need the date you are leaving and your NZ destination ...please!!

Re: UK to NZ January 2011
I'm off to Blenheim when my UK property gets rented out which i thought would have been ages ago but my letting agent isnt the most proactive. My visa application went in last week but with it being a talent visa im expecting it back pretty quick providing i actually filled it in correctly.
Hoping to get out towards the end of january

EEEEEEEEAK !!!
Wow only taken 1 week, thats fabulous. We may be there quicker than we think.
Hubby is putting all the Family visa applications in the post today and were told by Working in that they are currently taking 4 - 6 weeks. Planning to leave here mid January.
