Hi,
I am in a situation right now where I have to make a choice. I was wondering if some of you nice people out here will help me in making one.
I got my grant last month. Our initial entry date is Sep 2014. I initially planned to move to Melbourne in March next year with the intention of calling my wife and 4 year old son by August. However, now we have found out that my wife has conceived, its still a very early stage of pregnancy though.
Now I have two options in front of me;
Option 1:
I take my family along me to Australia in March next year for initial entry. Have a holiday for couple of weeks and then we all come back. She delivers a baby here in Pakistan, then we apply for newborn visa that takes around 14 months and then decide for our move. (Which would atleast be after 2 years from what we have planned i.e March 2014)
Option 2:
I along with my family move permanently in March. Delivers a baby there which would entitle him a citizenship by birth.
Problems:
If I go with option 1, my whole planning will get disturbed. I am already in a place where I have already started preparing for my big move and now asking myself to hold back for more than 2 years is just killing me.
Option 2 doesn't feel right because moving with the family will require quite alot of funds. It is very difficult for me to go to a new country with a 4 year old and pregnant wife with no job. Its just too risky. Further, my wife is already engaged in a professional culinary arts course which would be finished by June next year. So asking her to move early means she will have to leave that course in the middle. And after finishing the course its just not possible to travel in the 8th/9th month of pregnancy.
So, now please tell me what I should do in this situation. Go with option 1 or 2? Or you have any 3rd option for us?
regards,
Roposh
