Congratulations! 
I bet it feels good not waiting and wondering all the time now!! When are you heading out there?
Btw, how do they notify you that you've been approved and can you pick up the visa in person?
Good luck with the move!

Re: At last, we have reached the end - visas have arrived!!
I was notified by email as I had sent a case specific enquiry asking if I could pick them up in person after waiting 4 weeks for my passports to be returned. They offered me the choice of either picking them up or having them mailed back, but I don't know whether that was due to my personal circumstances.
We are going out there in the next month for a week to land and make enquiries in person about schooling, jobs etc etc.
Thanks Nikki - would it be ok to pm you over the next week or so? I'm about to start job hunting and would appreciate bending your ear over a couple of issues if ok with you.

Re: At last, we have reached the end - visas have arrived!!
Thank you everyone for your kind words - it is a relief to have all that waiting over with. At least now everything is in our control - not that I'm a control freak or anything........
Aaaww thank you for saying so. 
Always thought I just asked loads of questions or had rants
