      Spread the good news

      Just thought I'd let everyone know our good news, the Ozzies have allowed us to come and stay in their country our 176 was granted today. I can't express my gratitude to all the Perth Poms members on their posts and comments that have helped us through the whole process. I can't believe we started the visa application less than 6 months ago and we are now sitting with a lovely 176

      That's great news. Is 6 months a benchmark timescale for visa processing? Also...how long does a visa last? By which I mean how long, once issued, do you have to make the move to Oz? I want to get the timings right :)

      We need to validate our visa before 31st Dec 2012, the visa itself lasts for 5 years. I think 6 months is quicker than normal and I assume it will slow down considerably when the new system kicks in this July.

      Now for the hard part, sell our home, find a job, find a new home in Perth and schools.
