Hi
We have just had our grant letter (2/12/04) after lodging on 24th/3/2004.
ThatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s 8 months+, but we found out 4 months in, that DIMIA had lodged us under the 136 category, Der?. I think 4 months or so would be about right if all goes well.

DIMIA have only given us until 21st Jan 05 to get out, even though they made the cock-up with the appo., so our agent is trying to get an extension on our meds & police checks.

I think DIMIA are quoting 4-6 month processing so get organised, you could be out by easter. Good luck and have patients you need it (or a good therapist)

All The Best
