Default Yeee 'F***ing' haaaaaa!!! VISA GRANTED!!!

Just had a phonecall from our agents to say that our visa has been granted!!!

And the best news is that they don't want the bond money!!

All along we thought we would have to lodge AS$100,000 for 5 extra points, but after we lodged the application, the points for being on the MODL list went up from 5 to 10!

We'd made phonecalls to the bank, arranged the money, got interest rates from the 5 treasury departments in Oz as to the best place to lodge the money all for nothing! But I don't care now!

A big thank you to Sheila and Shirley at Australian Migration Associates Ltd. They have been brilliant all the way through and steered us right. I think they deserve a big plug!

Now, who wants to buy a house?

Steve and Eve.
