From Application to Visa label it took 1 year and 3 months. It would
have been about 1.5 months sooner if not a for a slight delay at my
agents office. Please let me know of you need further info. When was
your application sent?
CRAZYboutOZ, the Visa is a label they stick on your passport. It has
the Australian national emblem with the Emu and the Kangaroo in the
back ground. Printed on it you find your name, your visa class, a
number which i think is the Visa number, name of the embassy it is
issued at, date for the first entry and also the 5 year period it is
valid for. It also has the text "Holders(s) permitted to remain in
Australia indefinitley". Hope that helps.
