Default Visa back in record time?

Posted the grant letter Wednesday about 1600 - special delivery.

Passports delivered back home today - Saturday - 1045 with the -143 subclass visas in them.

Not bad going for Royal Mail and AHC London!

Incidentally, each visa had a middle initial, not a full christian name: I seem to remember someone being pulled up at entry for something similar. Anyone know?

Still - all over at last!

Thanks Mark!

Just a sip of spritzer - perhaps a couple. At my age I get a hangover after a couple of glasses of wine and after a lifetime of experience I have just learned to connect the two!

Both my visas have the middle initial rather than middle name. No hassles anywhere.

WOW! Four days! Just about the length of time you'll need to recover from your hangover!

Professionally Retired!

Bear in mind that the grant took 10 months - the 3 days was the time to stick the visa into the passports!
