Thanks so much. That is great news. I thought I would be waiting years to achieve my dream. Can you be engaged and go on a visa. Irish weddings are so expensive.....and a waste of money !!! May run away in secret yet. I will look at places to live and work. After living in Australia the weather aspect for me would have to be hot and sunny. Can you get registration in any state and apply for job in another state and re register ? I did hear once that some states are easier to register in than others. Thanks again for your help !!
