Re: anyone applying july 2007
Well spotted chuck i'm in such a daze over one little email it's untrue!!!! The med's arrived at LCU last friday and the PCC'shave been scanned over today so hopefully not too long at all. Anyone know the current delay at the LCU?? last I heard it was 7 weeks. I'll update the tiemlines too in a sec.
good luck to everyone else waiting to hear - hope the visa's come through really quickly!!!

Like Lisa says ours took 5 weeks, yours should be shorter as there is no holiday, but I hesitate to say that or you might start getting carzily impatient like I did

Shaz3, I think what you are saying is normal, i'm feeling a it that way and i've only just got my CO - goodness knows what i'll be like when i actually get the visa. You will be fine, i've read a lot about people who were april applicants and they were feeling the same as you are now. There are quite a few 'to do lists' on the forum to help and everyone will assist with whatever we can do. Good luck and take care

Loads and loads of congrat's to hereshoping, it's about time that you got yours!! Well i've just opened my inbox and we've got out case officer today, they are asking for med's and police clearances, the meds have arrived at LCU last week and our PCC's came through saturday so they've now been scanned over. And it is my turn to walk round work with a silly grin on my face without a care in the world, it's fantastic, lovely great and brilliant. Application to CO without a word but well worth the wait

[QUOTE=hereshoping;5813767]Well I guess all the Karma worked, I've just been looking though my bulk mail folder and guess what I found
VISA GRANT LETTER
Yes that's right it had been sitting in my bulk mail folder since tuesday, but i couldn't care less about the extra 5 days of stress because
WE HAVE OUR VISA!!!!
I can't stop shaking, very exciting and a little scared.
Brilliant news, well done, its a wonderful feeling isnt it, a week on from our grant letter and I still cant wipe this smile off my face Just send off the paassports and cant wait for them to come back with those magic stickers.

Re: anyone applying july 2007
Have no fear hereshoping i'm already impatient, have been since about November, half of me wants to get there yesterday but then i realise just how much needs doing before we can and it brings me down to earth realising that we probably wouldn't get there before July ish even if we had it now. We do still have to sell the house yet and it's not even up for sale yet.
5 weeks to prepare for a lifetime of happiness is nothing (she says with impatience written all over her face!!)
Shaz3, I think what you are saying is normal, i'm feeling a it that way and i've only just got my CO - goodness knows what i'll be like when i actually get the visa. You will be fine, i've read a lot about people who were april applicants and they were feeling the same as you are now. There are quite a few 'to do lists' on the forum to help and everyone will assist with whatever we can do. Good luck and take care

Re: anyone applying july 2007
Hi everyone
i dont post messages very often on the forum, but i am addicted to reading the posts, thought i would post so would give people a time span of very the processing is up to,
are medicals were received at LCU on 7th January and to day we have got our VISA,
SO it looks like things are moving very fast.
Well thanks again for all the good advice, and i will still be addicted to reading
Cheers
Sue
