Default Finally......Finally.....God heard me!!

Hi All,

I am so pleased to announce that yesterday morning I checked my e-mails and I saw surprising/unexpected email which really thrilled me like anything!!

Till now, you would have understood that I am talking about non other than "Grant Letter".

My process started in Feb 2010 when I first applied ACS. There were lot of hiccups in the process and at one point I felt that I should leave in between and let it be!!
The only major issue I found in entire process was my PCC for India as well as Singapore. It was really tiring and cumbersome.

Anyways, whatever happiness I felt now, it is nowhere to compare with my trouble which I faced during entire visa process for 176 SS (For Victoria).

My First entry date is before 13th July 2012. Hence, I have sufficient time to prepare mindset and other things.

If any one of you guys need more info. on any thing, feel free to contact me here.

Special thanks to Anjali for her continuous help on each stage.

Regards,
Harshal.
