Hi guys, Just came in to say a big thanks for all these wonderful people who give their time to answer questions from us, the desperate mates! Not long ago I was full of doubts about my eligibility to get a PR.Worst:I was sure I had no chance at all. Then I found this forum, and spent nights and nights reading threads, posting questions. The response was always wonderful. God only knows how it feels to have our questions answered in such a short time (as in this forum) when we are under the stress of not being sure about an issue related to our visa. This forum gave me valuable answers, gave me guidance, gave me the information and emotional support I needed to achieve my goal. By the way, I went to NZ to validate my visa and it was very simple. It took less than 10 minutes (my case officer was wonderful and sent the visa first thing in the Monday morning, like she promised). After that, we went to celebrate at the Sky Tower restaurant, left to Brazil and spent one month with family and friends. Now, back to AU, we are starting a new life, full of hope and without the visa stress. It is a great feeling that I hope which one of you have the privilege to enjoy pretty soon. If I can be of any help please dont hesitate on ask. The same way I had the help of these guys here, I hope I can help someone which may need an information. For those who dont know me, I applied under the send matching category with sponsorship from VIC. My husband had 6 months of experience and we were already living in Melbourne. thank you all and God bless those still waiting.!
