announcement to date.

*****ing fantastic. Welcome to Australia!
Marooned -

Thanks for those kind words!!!

As to my post, I appreciate your enthusiastic applause!!!

You must admit that here on the threads there are generally 2 kinds of posts - I got my VISA, no CO OR I got a CO then later I got a VISA.

I happened to respond to my CO WHILE HE WAS WORKING on my file!!! If that had not happened. Because of that, it resulted in a CO and VISA in the same night/post.

I'm still amazed thinking about the circumstances of it!!!

A little bit behind, but...

Congratulations!!!

to Tiger & Liz.

Glad to see it came through so quickly after the meds arrived, tiger. You must be over the moon. And to catch the CO working like that and be able to reply immediately...wow! Can't believe it - you're going to be there before us!!!

Make sure to give us all an update after you've arrived.

Rob & Ewa
