If the 457 visas only take about 2 months or so, maybe thats why people
seem to be putting their houses on the market. Dont really want to do
this yet, as always in the back of my mind that we will get refused.
Would hate to sell our current property, go into rented whilst awaiting
the outcome, and then get refused, and then have to get on the housing
ladder again. But on the otherhand we dont want to waste any time - the
sooner we can get out there the better - as I expect everyone is
impatient. Once you have made up your mind to do something, then you
want to do it immediately
