I posted this in the Canadian forum also but what the heck......

It was almost 11 months to the day since we filed our application that I got my IR-1 in the mail yesterday.

It has been a long journey but an impossible one without the help of many here - especially aussiewench. Thanks Lorelle.

Now turn our heads to moving to the US at the end of the month.

Thanks so much to everyone.
