It would have been good to know that we would also have had the option of entering the family quota draw, which is a bit like a lottery and available to those who can't get in any other way, but sadly it seems to have been dropped for the last couple of years and shows no signs of returning. It was another string to our bow if we failed in the normal family sponsorship category.
Thanks for the good wishes, Sadoldgit. Hope things will go well for you now you have something to aim for.
