We have a Case Officer - but now even more waiting!

We've had a case officer for a couple of weeks now. After a long 6 and a half month wait we got the news from our agent. It was fantastic news as we are now 'on the next stage' where someone has actually LOOKED at our application!

Our case officer requested our medicals and police checks, which we've already done so that was straight forward. However, they also requested that Becks have Australian Federal Police Checks carried out as she has spent more than 12 months in Australia (12 months and 1 week to be exact!).

So now we have embarked upon a new long wait... They say the police checks take about 15 working days, plus of course the time it takes to send documents to Australia and back.

Will this process ever end? Will we ever get there? Arghhh, the waiting.

Time is really ticking now, and our plans of going straight after Easter are still in place though thinkgs are getting tight. Both of our current work contracts end at the end of March so it makes it the perfect time to go.

Argggggggggggggghhhhhhhhh. This is the biggest test of patience.... EVER!
