Weekly “Nothing is happening” post
Gah, this is frustrating. We have a leaving party planned for Saturday. I leave my work a week on Friday. It would be nice if we actually had the visa granted by then! Really, it’s down to the last day or two now, but that day or two of processing is dependant on the Australian
Still Waiting
Monday is the start of my last fortnight at work. Well, technically it’s my last week, but they wanted me to stay for an extra week – which is fair enough. It’s difficult to believe that it’s all likely to kick off next week – assuming our sponsor gets the documentation through from the tax
