Change of Plans
« on: February 28, 2009, 09:10:25 AM »
Well after much discussion, stress  :idiot2:  and now i must admit now much relief, we have decided to change our plans!!

We are still definately going to New Zealand that much hasnt changed we have changed the route in which we are taking!!  ;)

We were supposed to be going Cowboy in May but i've really been stressing about it and worried about the job situation, so hubby and i had big discussions about it and we decided we are going to go the safer route and get PR first!!

So to now submit that all important EOI!!!!!  O0

Stress to continue that much wont change i know but i do feel alot more relaxed about things!!!

A far better route as far as I am concerned.  I am a stresser and I wouldn't come without PR - and it was still stressful!
All the best with your plans

It would certainly make things easier if you could get PR before coming!  We didn't do it that way, but we know a couple of people who did it that way.

 :gl: with your plans!!!

I've always said, if you can get PR before you get here do it that way.   Only come over cowboy if there is no other way you can get in.   We came cowboy (cause we just didn't have enough points without a job offer) but it was the most stressfull time of our lives!!!    We are looking forward to seeing you when you get here.  :clap:

Thanks everyone, your all such a HUGE support, dont think i could have even gotten this far without this forum and info received here!!  O0

We are disappointed that its gonna take longer to get to NZ but as you have all said a much better and safer way to get in at the end of the day!!!

I hardly slept last night had so many things going through my head cause now this is a whole new ball game for me and I have to learn this whole PR game now,  :confused:  ;) so many questions, so have just joined the buddy system  O0

I hope and pray its not gonna take ages and ages to get through the process, i was looking at timelines and some folks have gone through the process quickly and some took long!!  :help:

But however long it takes at least the prize at the end of the day is New Zealand and a better life for us!!   :clap:

Looking forward to meeting you all one of these days!!  :smitten:
