The waiting does get tiring. Our application was sent on March 5, 2012 and receive on March 6, 2012 (via FedEx) just before 10 am. Since that time there's been nothing. While I'm very happy for those who are receiving acknowledgments and sponsor approvals, the waiting for this is difficult and with people two weeks later now receiving approvals I'm wondering if there is something wrong with our application.

Congratulations! And be happy you're dealing with Sydney! its one of the fastest offices. My brother sponsored his australian partner, and it was exactly 30 days after he received sponsorship approval that they got the approval from Sydney! (That may be an exception, but Sydney is fast!)
