Status Update: Travel Preparations

In this blog post, I am thrilled to update you on my exciting progress as I prepare for my Westward Migration, with plans firmly set to relocate to Australia in August.

Work and Holiday Visa Submitted

With still four months to go before my planned departure, I decided it was time to tackle the most daunting part of my preparations. I settled into a cozy corner of my favorite café with a chai tea latte, pulled out my laptop, and dived into the Work and Holiday Visa application process. After an intense hour of filling out forms, meticulously checking boxes, and reviewing my application at least twenty times, I submitted it, feeling a mix of relief and anxiety wash over me. I had read online that the processing times could be quite quick, but the speed of their response was unexpectedly rapid.

Work and Holiday Visa Approved!

Indeed, the wait was hardly a wait at all. Less than an hour later, my inbox dinged with a second email, this time bearing the IMMI Grant Notification. My initial thought was panic, assuming they needed more information or that I had missed something crucial. However, my worries were quickly alleviated as I read the opening line: “Dear Adam Sesma, We have granted you a Work and Holiday (subclass 462) visa”.

Four Month Countdown

Now, with just four months remaining until my big move, and merely three weeks until I graduate college with my degree, I am filled with excitement and optimism about the adventures that await me in Australia. As my westward migration approaches, I find myself eagerly anticipating the new experiences, and the stunning landscapes I will soon be exploring. The countdown to this monumental life change is truly exciting, and I can’t wait to share my journey with you all.
