The saga of the VISA

OK we ... well I have a work VISA. Which is valid for a year. Our other application for residency has been approved but because we are in NZ and the documentation is in UK we need either to send our passports back to the UK or get the UK to send the files to NZ. I went to the INZ office in Auckland today and the lady there was fantastic. Martin Strang of Oasis education gave me a priority processing form which meant I could get my application for a work Visa done there and then. Auckland were quite surprised that I would need this for such a short period of time as PR (permanent residency) had been approved. Sigh ... I guess that is bureaucracy for you. However it has been passed!

Our belongings are due to dock in Sydney on the 10th of May which means that we need to beg borrow and steal for about a fortnight!!! We will have a house but no possessions. How will we wash our clothes? 

So tomorrow will be my first day in Sir Edmund Hillary.

Got post a pic of Jo's car it is very cute!!
