Mine sent on 14th January , still waiting. Some sent on first week of Jan 09, no response yet. Believe it also depends on postal delays at your location.
 
Babu,

you've been waiting a while, has your cheque been cashed yet?
 
what bank did you use, if you don't mind me asking.
 
i think some people have. i know of one person for sure. you can also check trackitt.com
 
look for anyone from any visa office, who applied for FSW after dec 1st 2008. Some of them might be FSW 2 and FSW 3 but some will be FSW 1. If they got an AOR then they got a reply from Sydney. Almost everyone in the offices other than buffalo will be fsw 1 because most don't have AEO or canadian experience.
 
remember only FSW1 send their application to Sydney.
