It's such an emotional rollercoaster, isn't it? Through the whole application process and all the milestones along the way, and then it comes to actually having the visa and packing up and leaving behind so much. We don't have our visa yet, so still playing the waiting game. I'm also having a really sad day today, but the only thing getting me through is the thought that there is a good chance we'll get the visa and try for a better life. Here we are just surviving from paycheque to paycheque, trying not to go too deep into the savings which we'll need for Adelaide. Anyway, yes, I do understand how you are about your bike as my husband is convinced he's taking his with him! That's something we'll deal with later, hopefully, if we get the visa! Sorry for rambling..

Thanks Chris! We lodged our application last Sat so now we just have to wait. It's kind of a relief to get to this stage as there's nothing more we can do but wait and see! Hopefully it will all work out. Thanks for the welcome!

Hi niknjas, Thanks for the advice! Unfortunately we are in a position where we have 60 points for the points test and need another five so if he has proof of English language ability from IELTS that will give us 10 - 20 points. So fingers crossed Do appreciate the advice though.

Hi there, I'm new to this site since yesterday but have already found so many answers to my questions so thank you! We are in the middle of the process. My OH is a Software Tester and we've had our SS approved for SA. Waiting for the IELTS results tomorrow so that we can proceed with our 176 application. He found the IELTS quite hard even though he is a native English speaker, so we are prepared for him to have to re-sit it. We think we have all the docs ready to upload, but I'm sure we will find we have completely missed out on something! I'm sure I'll need to call on the expertise and advice of the members on this site before long. At the moment we are quite anxious about the application process and REALLY want to get to the other side so we can plan our new life! We'll still be poor but at least it'll be in a warmer climate! Hopefully some day I'll be in the position to help and advise on the whole process!
