Approved!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got my passport back today with my visa!

No email telling me it was approved or being sent back (surprise!) and no phone interview!

I'm anticipating being there by the middle of September (my first entry has to happen by the middle of February).

I think I'm still in a bit of shock!

Congratulations

I bet the processing went like this:

4:47 PM: Case Opened
4:48-4:52: CO does: TICK, TICK, TICK, TICK for all docs
4:53: Visa granted
4:57: Visa sticker printed
4:58: Visa sticker pasted into passport
4:59: Passport mailed, just in time for 5:00 PM cut off

OK, really I don't think it went like this, but it's a nice thought isn't it?
