Shelley,
Yes, application has been approved. I'am from France and heading to perth regional area.
I completly understand your feeling, I'm sick of this waiting situation too. I check my online account every single day.
I asked my immi agent and he said it is normal processing time is between 5 to 10 months but the processing time changes every month .
I really hope Santa will do us a favor this christmas hihihi
