Default Big shock this morning !!

We thought it was best to check with our agent to see if we had a case officer yet after 10 days (very impatient ).
Only to find out they had just sent us a letter to say the visa (spouse) had been granted !!!!.
We had been told by the agent not to send in hubbies passport so we are yet to hold it in our hands but very hopeful.
The visa has to be validated by Aug 2004 but hopefuly we can leave in June.
Adelaide here we come !!!!

Congrats to you! Hope all goes according to plan. As someone who is applying for the de facto visa at the end of this month I'm always happy to see things move along so swiftly and smoothly.

Do others agree that it's best to hold onto your passport until asked for?

Also, strange to see a Brit not heading for Brisbane!!

LOL, welsh to me sounds just as ridicilous as it does to you, you need a mouth full of grit to speak it properly.
