Thanx Alfresco.

I think they officially say a few weeks but my experience suggests it's closer to 7 business days. You can a message to the sydney medical centre to find out. there's a medical centre thread that covers this for ref.

Thanks folks - I've been pinching myself all weekend.

Goodluck everyone else thats waiting - Hopefully lots more great news prior to christmas vacation.

In light of the fact that our medicals only arrived in Sydney on 11th Dec, I'm changing my prediction to get our visas after New Year now. Oh well.

Now where's that Alfresco positivity we know and love ?

Ok before Christmas then.
