I will never forget this date.
On 7th November 2012, Ugin text me in the morning and said 'My visa is approved already'. The moment I saw that text, I closed my eyes and said a little prayers to thank God. I knew it was God answering my prayers. I HAVE to say my thanks!
When we returned from Melbourne in June 2012, Ugin submitted his application to ACS to have his skills assessment done. This is one of the requirements you have to fulfill before applying for the visa. And from what we heard from an agent friend of Eileen, she told us that the waiting time for ACS to respond is usually around 5 months. So we estimated, November we will be able to apply for the visa. And Ugin's visa according to the website states 12 months. So meaning if we apply in November, we were hoping to get the visa (hopefully) in November 2013. This was only our estimation and in order not to be overly disappointed, we were prepared to wait as we have heard of cases where the visas took more than 2 years and not approved yet.
So time passed and in September 2012, Ugin got a reply from ACS! We were surprised by the early response as we were expecting November! (Have to thank God for that!!) Ugin then applied for the visa online on 15 September 2012. So we estimated again... hopefully by August 2013 we can get our visa approved! So it was waiting time again. But again, we reminded ourselves not to be overly excited so if it doesn't get approved by that time, we will not be too disappointed. During these waiting periods, I remember the prayers I had was 'Dear God, if this is what You have in plan for us. Guide us and show us the route so clearly that we know this is Your plan. If time is not right, we will obey and wait till You have given us the green light to go ahead'. Amen.
Prayers answered and the green light lighted so bright we couldn't miss it. I love you Jesus. We were so very blessed by YOU. And in less than 2 months after Ugin submitted his visa application, it was approved. Yes! APPROVED. Meaning anytime now, Ugin can leave Singapore and work in Melbourne.
So right now, we got to start planning this BIG MOVE!
