I can't believe I have only just seen this thread. Have to read through it all in a bit.

Am a little upset about you being joking about us being lovers though :rofl: I thought we were!!!! :wub:

Thank you sweetheart:p

It doesn't feel real at all, when will it really kick in?!

So have we gone public with our relationship now:confused: I said I was just joking just to cover up:rofl::wub:

I am thrilled at being able to validate in December, it is a huge relief, I must have a look at finances but I think I might hava a 'pretend' validation trip anyway next year, I had my heart set on Vietnam.

So when are we going to meet up? What's half way between Sydney and Adelaide, maybe that could be our starting point:D

Melbourne!! :D

Reality hasn't kicked in yet, I don't think it will until I've been there a few days. We'll arrange a meet up after new year!! :)

I agree that reality is not part of the whole thing! Maybe when I get on the plane I'll start screaming, not sure.

Definitley going to factor in a meet-up, we will rip Melbourne up! I was afraid you were going to say Canberra;) Won't be going back there in a hurry.

I already have an Aussie SIM card but can't remember the number for the life of me, once you get sorted with one let me know:thumbsup:

Thank you so much, I won't know what to do over my cup of coffee tomorrow morning, I think I will still check without even thinking!

Lots of preparing to do for my trip at the end of the month but too busy drinking beer tonight to do anything about it right now!

I will be watching out for your good news.....it won't be long:thumbsup:

Thank you JAK,

I wasn't that far after you in the end:thumbsup: I still can't believe it, I know I keep saying that but it is a very surreal feeling. I think the first thing I will do tomorrow without thinking is check my status over my morning coffee!

I had to stop myself from doing that the first few mornings after we got ours :rofl:

Thank you so much, I've been so busy I haven't even had time for a beer yet! Just been on the phone for hours telling everybody, it's becoming a bit more real now but not sure it kicks in properly til you actually get there!

I really do hope you get good news soon, it's worth the wait!

Hey everyone,

I've just been on BEupdate to have a look at todays approvals and there was something else I needed to do, oh yes, that's right, I WENT ON THERE TO TURN MYSELF YELLOW:eek:





I GOT MY VISA, APPLICANT APPROVED:thumbsup::rofl:



I can't believe I am the first July approval on here, I am in utter disbelief. I haven't told anyone yet except you guys so I think it will sink in when I say it out loud!

So more than anything this is a Thank You thread and I'm going to say this without crying, I swear!

Thank you to every single person on this website, I would have truly gone crazy without everyone's support, this is the best forum in the world, bar none!;)

Thank you for everyones advice and I can only hope that I have helped a few people along the way.

I want to mention a few in particular who have been the best friends I could have hoped for and I so hope we stay in touch for a long time, my fellow visa counter-Tiger aka Catherine, my sweetheart Meme, my lover Xzibit (only joking:p) and the lovely lady who stayed with me in the waiting room even though she already had a visa-the beautiful Mel:wub::wub:

Good luck to everyone still waiting, it really does happen even though sometimes it doesn't feel like it will. Hang on in there everyone, I'm looking forward to watching everyone else get the all important approval:thumbsup:

Sorry, I'm going on a bit, I'll stop typing now, I've just read back what I've written and it sounds like a speech and now I'm embarrassed:o

Many MAny MAny congratulations on successful VISA grant! Wishing you all the best for your new life in Ozland!

Cheers! :D
