Thanks in advance
Hi,

With regard to the 6 month validity, our offer letter from Victoria said "1. Your visa application must be lodged with DIAC within six months of the date of this email." We got our offer 29 May 2007, applied to DIAC on 1 July 2007 and heard this week that our visa had been granted - so actually no quicker than others going different routes.

Hope this helps

Zoë
