Yes, I'm sure you have truly thought it out and chosen the best route for you.

We came out cowboy last November and likewise for us, it is the only way we could do it. But I did have a very promising job prospect lined up - so that helped us. Nevertheless, it is an extremely stressful way to do things. We had been looking at the whole world economy situation before we left and knew that it was make or break for us before the end of the year - so with the job prospect in sight, we went ahead with our plans. But if we could not have done it then, we may have decided to wait things out for a while and then gone later.

Hi BevMac,
it's not so hard ,and in the long run alot easier than winging it with out a prayer.
so welcome to the slog of PR. when are you going to submit your EOI.
as you may have read ours is through and we have ITA but its still the money thing thats got me by the n**s but it will be ok.

with yours but 150 points it should be a breeze.

Bevmac, you are doing the right thing. We came over with PR, DH isn't one to take huge risks, ok so it was 2 years ago, but still, he doesn't do risks very well.
The stress will still be there but it will all be worth it in the end!

Stay positive!

We came Cowboy but that was before the credit crunch and job shortages and even then, Husband came first and got the job and WP and I only sold the house and followed once he had it so we sort of waited for the "bird in the hand" first. You must do what is right for you and remember that this is a HUGE move and expensive too. It traumatic enough leaving SA without still getting here and stressing about WP's and finding work! Rather be safe (well can you call it that in SA?

than sorry . Good luck to all those still applying for PR - you wont be sorry once you get here.
