Default 800 days later..
Back in 2009 I started out down the Australian visa application road.

800 days later...

...I received an email rom DIAC today entitled "VISA Grant Notice".


Holy crap!

Hard to believe it's finally happened. Patience really is a virtue after all.



Right then, there are a few beers in the fridge with my name on them.

Thanks.

I am planning to sort out a holiday for after Christmas, probably in February, to validate.

After that, I haven't decided yet.

Ha, yeah, no kidding. I began to wonder if my application had been the victim of a DIAC spam filter. They came good in the end though!

Friday is the best day to get the news. We also got ours on a Friday. Had the whole weekend to celebrate.

Enjoy!
