Default Hurray! At last!!!

One week from receipt of police certificates and we came home today to find a small yellow envelope on the mat...

Hurray! Visas granted 26 May 2004.

It's unbelievable. We are in shock - we were going to have beans on toast for tea - now it's beans on toast and champagne!!

Good luck to all those of waiting - don't worry - it'll be your turn soon.

Even the rain cannot wipe the smile off my face today....!

here it is

Thanks guys. We applied Oct 03 Skilled Ind Class 136.
Police certs sent to ASPC last Monday - they granted the VISAs the same day!!!

What do I do now????!

Validation trip in November - all seems a bit too scary now. Should organise interviews and bank accounts and heaven knows what!!!

Help!

(Can you tell I am excited???)

So very pleased for you..we applied 26/11/03, same visa, apart from acknowledgement we havent heard a word.

I am getting a bit disheartened now.

Don't be - we heard nothing until 21 April when they write and asked for medicals and police certs. That was 6 months and 13 days.

Hopefully that means you should hear very very soon....
