YEA! YEA! YEA! We passed the first hurdle into Australia. We received a request for our character and medical assessments from the Australian Government today, which they wouldn't have bothered asking for if our job skills weren't up to snuff. So, once we get our fingerprints taken and cleared through the FBI and Singapore Police (a process which may take up to two months), and get our chest x-rays and HIV test results, we should be well on our way to getting our visas for migration. This means that our goal of moving to Australia in July should be obtainable.
If you want to come and visit us in Asia, the clock's ticking. We'll be gone soon.
