We just got e-mail telling us we had approval in principal and as they already have our passports and levy they will get them issued (approx 3 weeks!) WOW I just can't believe it :laugh OMG how much do I have to get sorted out now :eek We have a bottle of champagne we have had for over a year waiting for this moment, but is 11.30am to early? Nope! :cheers everyone we wouldn't have made this far without the help of everyone on this forum :nice1 I suppose I had better wait for Phil to get back though He still doesn't know! :laugh :laugh :laugh

Good luck to everyone still going through this process and about to start! :nice1

All the best
Michelle :hi

Michelle/Phil,

Brilliant news :clap for a moment i thought that the last NW meet had put you off :laugh

Kim

will we see you on the 20th?

[K&CS]

Don't do that!! I had a fit when I saw the title of your thread!

CONGRATULATIONS! No I don't think it's too early for a drink (anyway it's 12.30 now, so that can be a lunchtime drink).

Really pleased to hear that - as you say, so much to organise now - look forward to hearing about all your plans

Kate x

PS Once you've come back down to earth, if you could PM me with those interview questions, that'd be great!

Bloody English with their sense of humour :laugh :laugh :laugh

Seriously, my heart also dropped when I saw the heading. It is so strange that you can get so wrapped up in the lives of a bunch of people you've never met before.

I am so pleased for you :nice1

Congratulations and good luck guys! Keep the forum going because it is still a big help to others. Good luck in your new life, see you over there ourselves when NZIS get their finger out and give approval :laugh :nice1

Steve

[eric_amanda]

Yes, I had the same heart sinking feeling everyone else did :laugh

CONGRATULATIONS to you and your family.

Not heard from you for an while and was thinking just yesterday that I should e-mail you to see how the NZQA thing was going....I guess it went well :laugh :laugh

Is Northland still the dream???

Hope to hear from you soon.

Best wishes

Amanda

[selchie]

I think we'll open a bottle of bubbly and help you celebrate. Congratulations! :clap

[robothamma]

Thanks everybody for all your congratulations :nice1 Still excited, but very nervous now about the mamouth tasks ahead! :eek :laugh I expect I will be posting alot more now :yes We will try and make the next NW Meet, but it all depends if we can gat babysitters for the youngest two! After last time my eyes are still trying to find their way back to the front of my head! :eek :laugh :laugh :laugh

Sorry about the title - my northern sense of humour got the better of me! Bet it woke you lot up though? :laugh :laugh :laugh

Amanda, sorry I havn't been in touch for ages - I can feel another essay of an email coming on! :laugh Yes "Northland" is still the dream! :nice1 so long as Phil can find work there(fingers crossed emoticon!)

I think Phil maybe coming over on his own first to try and sort things out before we all get over there! Ideally it would be nice if we could find some place to buy so we won't be moving the kids and all our stuff twice not to mention dragging them around properties all the time!

Thanks again everyone you are ALL great :nice1 :cheers
