Thanks again for your help it looks like it was approved. and it's startling that says we can go and get a 1-year Visa but I'm sure that's a typo? If that is a 30 day approval does it mean we have until May 2nd to go to the immigration office to get the official stamp?

Wow that's fantastic I do find that the officers down there very helpful very often I'll go check right now

Oh I had no idea that existed do you have the link to it?

Thanks...I actually called the 1178 number & was on hold for about 10 minutes and gave up & started thinking that the officer at the immigration office on the 1st day we can physically be allowed to go there will decide our Fate regardless of the what the 1178 number tells us. I say that because I've seen officers give instructions that contradicted other offices and airport's immigration decisions so I think the immigration officer will just laugh if I tell them 1178 told me everything is okay and they'll just say 1178 was confused... . so I think we just have to go in the first day we were allowed and hope for the best.

Correct
