hi David,

My timeline is as follows:
went to expo in Edinburgh, they were interviewing nurses so went for interview, got sponsership deal. (feb 08)
Started the visa application, intially going for 457 visa, until got more infoand went for PR visa which they said would take longer. (but didn't)
Did all of the application myself, posted in July 08.
Recieved PR visa in Dec 08, had to validate visa by July 09, which we have now done. Hope to be out there by Nov 09. Just leaving people is the hardest bit...
QUITE QUICK REALLY...
