Dear maxpaxx,



I have seen many of your posts in which you have shown great eagerness
to settle in Australia. It is undoubtedly true that we all on this
forum wish to settle in Australia and envy the persons who post "Got
It!!!" on this forum, I appreciate your concern but at the same would
advise to not take extra tensions.  If I were at your place, I would
have called DIMIA to check the status before selling my house. You have
to be negative sometimes. Weigh all the options and never forget that
Ozzies are not waiting anxiously for your arrival. They will take their
time before deciding to grant PR to you. Lucky are those who get it in
7-10 months.
