Well, mine is so earth-shatteringly exciting I can't even bear to post a link to it!!
After that I tiptoed around in the 3 word story for a while
1st post:
"The assessment takes approximately 8 - 10 weeks, this will increase if documents are missing at the time of lodgement"
http://www.acs.org.au/index.cfm?acti...faq#processing"
Well, at least I tried to help

If you read mne about the time I emigrated (Hllowe'en 2003) you gradually see me getting disillusioned 
but in the early days I was sweet and innocent One of the first people I talked to was a girl called Leigh, an Aussie, marrying a Brit, we did meet up once, when I came out here to visit before I moved. Often wondered what happened to her, I never heard whether her man got out here or not.
