Hello All,
Long time Lurker. First time poster. received my Visa Grant today. I though i would post my timelines, so that folks can have an idea as to how far up DIAC is:

Nationality:
High/Low Risk: HR
Trade/profession: IT
Visa type: 176

Post-14th July Category: 4
Medicals submitted: April 2011
Police check submitted: April 2011

I did receive the 18th March email and was not contacted by ny CO(didn't bother following up as i was in no rush).
Best of Luck for all the others. DIAC seems to be cranking up the pace a bit. Hopefully we should see a lot more grants next week.
