Over the past few days I've been entering a funk. Yesterday was kind of a low ebb - I just felt so stressed out and emotional.
I'm so tired of living in limbo. I'm so tired of not knowing which country we'll be in in 6 months' time. I'm tired of not being able to move forward with my life.
Then, this morning, Grant came running upstairs to tell me, "It's a good day!" He finally heard back from his recruitment officer in New Zealand. She said:
"Thank you for your patience . I can gladly say that your file has been signed off and that you can look forward to receiving a provisional offer letter of employment from the Police National Headquarters that you can use to obtain Permanent Residency from Immigration New Zealand."
This is a huge step forward! We can now kind of project a timeline. Holding thumbs for spring / summer next year.
This is what I wore yesterday.
What I'm wearing today? A big smile.
The smile is well deserved for your patience!! a massive step forward and I wish you all the very best (but i'm going to miss you tons :cry:) xxx
ReplyDeleteWooooooo Hoooo fantastic news for sure. Here's hoping the rest has a speedy timeframe for you guys! :)
ReplyDeleteYaY!! What exciting news!! As I've mentioned previously, I have a friend who moved there a few years ago and then another friend in my ward moved there in August. She's only going for 18 months though (that's the plan!!). She went on a business visa as her husband has his own business and can work from there. She's having a great time, but missing friends and family which is understandable. So what is the next step for you guys? And when is the likely time you'll be moving?? So glad you have a big smile xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat great news! How awesome to finally be getting some answers about that.
ReplyDeleteThe next big step, once we receive the official job offer, is to submit our EOI (Expression of Interest) which we can do online. By our calculations it should take between 6 weeks and 6 months from that point! We're hoping to celebrate Noah's birthday in NZ (mid March). Anything sooner will be wonderful.
ReplyDeletewow that is just awesome timing and an awesome opportunity! i hope it all starts coming together for you now and your hiccups along the way are minimal if any!! :)
