help!! my eoi was successful and sent off my ita last week. im a hairdresser for the past 16 years but have been working from home since 98 and can only prove sixish years official experience, although my officer did ask me to submit a letter from my product supplier stating that ive been supplied with products since 98 to date to facilitate my home business.i made the 100 points but now do you think i may fail the whole thing because i cant prove the minimum 8 years experience! all the rest of the application are fine, and i have a permanant good senior stylists job offer in a busy salon chain in aukland , ready for whenever we....husband and 3 children , arrive. are the immigration officers assigned to each case very very rigid, or is there a bit of leeway and could she push it through for me, she does seem terribly nice, she said id know in a week as she knows how desperate we are and have a great offer on our house and need to start selling cars etc, and will i be notified by phone or post, the waiting is a nightmare, can please anyone help before i turn into a complete alcoholic! i dont want to ring my case officer and annoy her , but if it was a no do you think id have heard by now!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks for taking the time to trawl through this, right now each day is like a month just waiting.
