Default (Almost) Got it!!!

Got an email from our case officer this morning and our passports (with PR visa inside them) are apparently in the mail and we should get them today!!! We submitted our visa application on March 2nd and sent police checks and medicals a few weeks ago so the whole thing has been pretty quick (it's an employer sponsored PR 121 visa).

I won't quite believe it until I have them in my hands, but it is a relief to be able to book flights etc. Hubby starts work on June 1 so it's getting close now.

Yay!! We are v. happy

Thanks! I was reassured on many occasions during the process when I logged onto this site and it also helped find answers to my many (often dumb ) questions. I'm sure there will be lots more in the next month as we get ready to move to Melbourne though. So, thanks everyone!!!

Are you going to change your ID to 'helenmelbourne', though?!

Good luck with the move!

Congratulations and good luck!

Don't go too mad with the celebrations though, you might wake up tomorrow and not be able to remember what you were celebrating!
