Hi All,
Mine was posted monday, although l submitted special delivery envelop when l applied and it was used. So, got today.

Thanks everybody, l waited for 7 months and 6 days. The worst part of it is that all l have been told were lies by the advisors. I was told that my app was decided on the 7/07/10 and imagine it was issued on the 28/06/10. So, do not believe everything they tell you. Make sure you call them always to...
