the letter in the mail

after a tiring day at the clinic and at the photocopy shop, i was informed by our helper that the Australian Embassy sent me a letter. for a minute or so, i panicked because i was thinking that maybe our application lacked some important documents or i failed in the medical exam. i had to tear apart the pouch to reveal what the message was all about. wanna make a wild guess?

Dear Ms E:

Thank you for forwarding your Partner/Fiance visa application to the Australian Embassy by courier. Your application has been checked against the Partner Migration Checklist and is now ready to proceed.

Please contact the Call Centre to make an appointment to lodge your application and attend a partner migration interview.

You must:
> bring your valid passport
> pay the visa fee when you come for your interview.

Yours sincerely,
Australian Embassy Manila

waaaaaaaaa!!!! i was screaming and jumping around. LOL! in other words, i was hysterical! well, who wouldn't be? i just asked the courier to pick up our application last Tuesday, November 22 and had my medical exam last Saturday. and now, i'm up for interview?!?! pretty fast noh?

and yes, they do issue visas on the spot, upon interview. so it's good as saying that my visa's been approved already. it's just a matter of them attaching it to my passport.

is this for real? i am really hoping so. right now, i can't wipe away the grin on my face. makes me look stupid tuloy. LOL! i don't think i can sleep tonight with all the adrenaline. :D
