What a day!
Well guys, that's me all done. I've updated BEupdates, I've updated my signiture and I've updated my blog (www.simonaward.co.uk)...
To everyone still waiting, hang in there! Remember: when, not if!
I'm so glad ours went straight through to GRANTED without any contact from a CO. I wonder how long the CO had been going over our stuff before they put it through and updated the system?
I'd say to everyone still waiting - chill! We've been getting pretty restless and having sleepless nights with anticipation. What I realise now is, I'm still going to be having sleepless nights - with excitement!
The other thing is, don't spend too long analysing the threads/timelines - there really doesn't seem to be any kind of pattern, or if there is - with so many visa types and sub-visa's and skills / professions, it's too complex to crack.
Sit back and chill - it'll be here soon.
Right, I'm off to book some flights!

Hi,
Congratulation to those who got Case officer's and visas!!![Thumbs Up](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Can someone just let me know what a Aussie Value Statement is please, as i cant remember doing this. We used an agent and i am hoping that we should have forwarded everything required, but i just wanted to check.
Many thanks

I never found any official 'form' for this, but used this:
http://www.immi.gov.au/living-in-aus...long/index.htm
Basically, copy and paste the statement into Word (or similar - you could just highlight what you want and then choose 'print selection' from the print options), print, sign and upload.
We did this ages ago - so have no idea if it's essential or not....

Wow....
I've just realised there is something better than receiving the grant email:
BOOKING ONE WAY TICKETS TO AUS!
