Assurance Bond
Hi All
We've had our Assurance bond lodged on 27th July 2003. We understand this is the final bit and our application will be assessed from that date. Can anyone tell us what is the approximate wait time? Could this waiting go on for months yet?
Thanks for any advice you knowledgeable people out there can provide.
Cheers
Phil

Hang on in there!!!
We have just gone through a very long and frustrating wait after paying our bond. We've now got our skilled Independent visas but found the process very frustrating.
Our timetable was this......
June 26th Bond lodged
18th September visa granted
23rd September we recieved this notification
24th September passports sent to London
26th September passports back
so as you can see, once you get the "yellow letter" it doesn't take long to complete the process.
It's a long time to wait with that much money tied up, we were getting very despondant but it's worth it in the end.
Hope it all comes together soon
Cheers
Marc.
