It has been a nutty and hard transition--Much more the challenge of a being in a new job and having significant management responsibilities than the American in Australia thing...but tonight I got a chance to stop and I saw Karen's request and actually looked through old e-mails to identify my time-line...

From beginning to end it will be less than a year from not even thinking about Australia as a possible destination to living here (March to January)...and actually only 3 mos from first contact with lawyer in Australia to getting my 457 Sponsored Visa. I know that is unusual and I am blessed. If anyone is interested I actually made myself a table which I attached down below somewhere--i tried to cut and paste and it was hard to read-it has some details including the job interview process, my shipping dates--(oh I didn't attach when my stuff actually arrived. I believe it didn't get here until mid October I think--it took quite a while for my stuff to get here) a my husband dates--he's not here yet, hence the opportunity to look at this forum. The laywer attributed my success in part to the 457 Visa and a large very well organized, quite labeled binder with every piece of information I might need (gathered somewhat in part from this forum and other resources...as well as many character letters)

how appropriate for this X-Mas eve to consider my biggest present this year. 2008 was one of the worst with more than one big scary family crises but as I sit here on X-mas even and reflect on this time-line I'm struck that in the middle of/despite/because of all that I changed my destiny---Wow.

To Karen, Dolly, Tiffani and Anj who were the big supporters when I was doing this process once again I thank you. If anyone has any questions about the process or needs encouragement I'll do my best.
