Back to...New Zealand!

[mylittledemon]

I just got this email this morning! Wahoo!!

Dear Brandon,

I do apologise for taking so long to get back to you. I put your expression of interest on priority list for today. I have consulted with one of my colleagues and you qualify for the 50 qualification points by being assessed at Level 4 by the NZQA as your occupation is listed under Part B of the skilled occupations. You do not need to be concerned that you did not obtain Level 5 or 6 as you desired. I will allocate the qualification points today and you will be invited to apply for residency immediately. I thank you for your updates and contact as it has enabled me to keep track of progress and wish you all the luck in your endeavours.

Yours sincerely
Tara Hesp

Congrats!!!!!

Again, if I were you, I'd sell everything I owned, mail the keys to my condo to the bank with a deed in lieu of foreclosure, and hit the road.

Will your wife be able to go with you under this point sytem? Or, does she have to apply on her own?

Nope she's included. We're a package deal!

I now have the task of convincing her to walk away from this ****e condo we own and can't sell.

I guess that's just where my case worker was assigned from...? I never even thought about it. Oddly enough, all my paperwork they asked for was sent to Wellington. Go figure.

So you're back ...
To the velvet underground ...
To the floor that you love ...
To a room with some lace & paper flowers ...
~~To the gypsy~~
That you were
~~ To the gypsy~~
That you were

If you need a place to store the Turner for a bit, until you get settled, I volunteer my house.
