Not sure how much I will sleep tonight but the day has final come to take the envelope to the airport and get on a plane. Flying out at 5pm tomorrow, getting to the airport 4 hours before hand to make sure I have enough time and then will just find a seat at the gate and relax.

Very thankful for all the help we received on here, I have talked to a lot of people that have gone through this process using a lawyer and they had a ton of headaches.

We opted to do it all ourselves with the help of this forum and honestly didn't have any issues and were very prepared for everything.

Cheers to a great community and thanks again. Pretty sure I will be back asking questions about stuff I need to do once I am there and settled.

Oh yes. I agree completely. Even ignoring the added cost, from what I've heard here, lawyers seem to be more trouble than they're worth unless you have particularly tricky issues to deal with.

For the vast majority of people, this forum has all the information and advice you need to complete the whole process yourself.

Thank you to everyone that paved the way and made it a very easy and painless process for me.
