I was expecting to receive my documents first but the RC apparently arrive earlier! (Is this something I should worry about?)
I still can not believe the waiting time is over....exactly 6 months waiting..
Please note the RC comes without me signing anything. This means it just posted to my mailbox.
This forum has been given me hope in the past months.
The Sep Batch people hope you all get RC soon! Best luck to every one!
