Well, it's now our turn - agent called this morning and said the Visa has been granted! Feels so good after all this waiting.

Re: February 2008 Applicants
Thanks for all the congrats! Yes, definitely worth the long wait.
Also, getting the call from the agent made me look at this thread on exchange rates, which made me open a HiFX account in a hurry which allowed me to get a rate of $2.56 onmy hard saved dosh!!! And to think that a month ago it hit a low of $1.96. It almost makes up for the huge hit I'm taking on my property sale in the UK.
So all in all, an eventful day! Now I need to organise flights, start sorting out stuff here, and,...and... Well, not stressing any more now. Certainly not after sharing that bottle of bubbly
Let's hope they rattle through the remaining February crew in double-quick time.

Re: February 2008 Applicants
- Got my skills assessment done in November '07.
- Submitted electronic 175 MODL on 11 February
- PCCs and Meds done in mid/late August (needed a bunch of PCCs as we've lived in several countries). Med's couriered to Sydney.
- CO allocated on 8 September. They wanted more current work details (payslips, tax certs and I sent along a fresh reference for good measure) and the meds hadn't cleared yet.
- Today, straight to visa granted. No further questions or anything.
- Tomorrow hand our passports over to get the visas entered.
I would guess it took almost a month for the meds to clear. Have you heard anything about yours yet Tiger?

My meds cleared after 21 days. My DH's meds have been there for 14 days, but nothing yet.
CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN!!!

Re: February 2008 Applicants
One of the viewers really wants to put in an offer but they need to sell their house - so today they've dropped their house price in the hope they get an offer the other 2 liked the house but dont want it!
For Sale board went up today... looks weird!
Any news for you Tiger?
