A general update
Ok, so the visa lodgement stuff is hard, complicated, and – well – tiresome. But there’s other practical stuff that needs to be done too. We’ve had quite a bit of change recently – I changed jobs at the beginning of this month and, because of the location of the office, I’ve been getting the bus to work. Combined with us moving, imminent car tax and service due, there really wasn’t much point in a very expensive car sitting in the driveway draining our resources, so we’re carless for the first time in a while.
Our house has sold – technically – with an entry date set for 7th April, but we still haven’t concluded the missives. I’m hoping nothing is going to go wrong with the sale because that would not be good at this point.
Our sponsors have finished fitting out a room for our boys and are starting in on our girl’s room. They’re actually coming over here for a wedding in June so, all going well, we may be flying back with them. We’ll have to wait and see on that front.
Our (clean) police reports came back during the week – we expected it to take forty days, but it only took seventeen. We haven’t had medicals done yet, so that puts our validation date (i.e. the latest we can travel to Australia to validate the visa) at mid-february next year. Assuming we don’t reapply for the police checks, that is.
So, back to waiting.
