14th Nov house sale fell through the buyers had lied and made out they had nothing to sell but turned out they were selling a shop which their buyers pulled out of.

16th Nov Tel call from case worker at NZ house Approval in Principal. yipee. Case worker said that it may take up to 4 weeks to get my passport back.

Thought my diary may give people an idea of how long things have taken. The house is the only thing that is stopping me from going.

You and me both mate, why is it that evreybody else has sold stuck on their boards. I dream of just an offer.

It will happen eventually.

Hi Blue,
good post and sort of lets people know timescales and stuff in proper terms of not just eoi to pr.
I think for most of us selling house this info is great because it reaaly puts into perspective that on some ocasions it isn't a waiting game from NZIS poit of view

Good luck :hopeso :hopeso hope you get your passport soon!
love Linda xxx

Thanks for that Blue - very interesting.

I agree with everyone about the house sales - what a nightmare! Ours hasn't had any offers yet and we keep on being told the market is very quiet - we don't have to sell in order to go but it would be a huge weight off! :hopeso

I'm panicking now - we go in 6 weeks & I'm waiting for our results from our Medical which I should get in a week - its going to be very touch & go whether we get PR before we leave! Eeek! :eek
