Hi Richie, just to let you know that we applied for a visa 176 on 29/01/09 and were still waiting for a decision. Everything is passed/met so just need a nice big 'yes' you've got it!!!!. Its mind boggling, just waiting..i think this is the hardest part of the process as its like sitting in limbo with your life on hold. Lets hope we here soon-good-luck.
