Default Can't Believe it, We've Got it Already!!!

What a start to my day off, just checking e mails and complete shock, we've been granted our Permanent Visas for Australia - Skilled Independent subclass 136.

Confirmation of application - August 14th 2003

Decided to have meds and police checks without being asked and they were received by Adelaide on 8th Jan 2004

Had an email for Alan Collett of GoMatilda dated 14th Jan 2004 saying granted!!!!(need to validate by 27/11/04 which is ok as we intended going by July anyway)

Exactly 5 months!!!!

Completely surprised and amazing feeling, champers in fridge for when Graham gets home, lots of calls to make, funny enough house valued yesterday at alot more than we expected, with buyer already!! and its my birthday tomorrow......

Thanks to Alan and co at Gomatilda for everything, if in doubt use them, can't speak more highly of the help we've received and efficiency in the way we've been dealt with.

To all still waiting, go and get those meds etc done now!!!!
