We met with some immigration experts and arranged a further meeting the next week so that they could go through the process with us more in depth. We signed there and then!!!!

We are using an agency based in Melbourne, but there are so many out there! Choose the one thats right for you guys! We dont have a job offer to go out to, we are just jumping ship! And hopeing for the best! We are not due to complete our process until Jan 2009 as i cant have a medical until baby is born, but we sold our house two days ago, so i hope the visa is approved!!!!!! Fingers crossed! We have completed the first part of our visa, submitting everything to the TRA and being approved, i believe this is the tricky bit, but still a long road to travel!

Enough about us! Let us all know how you get on, we look forward to hearing all your news!

All the best,

Sarah, Alan, Jamie and Bump!
