Sounds like you need to chase progress. Have they advised of any issues? I thought London has started to get their act together recently.

thanks. did try phoning AHC today recorded message saying not to bother them with how your application is progressing. Then phone agent who said not to bother them ( AHC ) as they would not like it. No issues as yet. If we hear nothing by end of Feb then I will phone even if they dont like it.

Phone.....

(easy to say I know - but ask what their last entry is on your file, they look on their computer)

Good Luck.

Hi Liz & Mark,

Replied to you message but just to confirm.

Application was under Skilled Desiginated Area Sponsored for WA.

Heather is a senior sister so I guess that fast tracked the app but even so it does seem to have been fast.

My appologies to all those that are having to wait but recently Adelaide seems to be clearing the backlog.

We didn't use an agent as our case seemed fairly straigh forward but my Brother did in 2000 and his time was about a year for skilled Desiginated Area independent.

Sorry if this isn't much help but I suspect all applications are a little different.

Rough Time Line

Applied Oct 30 2002
Medicals/Checks Requested Mid Novemeber to arrive by 24/12/02
Pre-grant received end of Jan
