Thanks everyone!

wow congrats! i hope that you have a safe flight.

being from australia as well, i must say, i hope mine doesnt take as long as yours did.. but anyway, all the best :D

You probably won't seeing as you're being served by the CSC instead of the VSC (although I haven't been keeping track of processing times since our case left NVC). We waited 8 months and absolutely nothing happened at the VSC, then we were transferred to the CSC and our case was completed in just a few weeks there. The whole process would have been reasonable if not for that long delay.

Best of luck to you!
