Hi
Can I ask how long it took for you to get your passports back?
Feeling a bit twitchy as we sent our's by Special Delivery on Monday (with return postage and special delivery for them to send back to us) and we fly out on 8th April...
Just another worry in this stressful process..

Main application lodged 25th Sept 2003
Meds and PCC requested ummm beginning of November
Meds and PCC returned to DIMIA 12th? Jan 2004 The delay in sending them back was on our part...due to hubby working away from home.....and a complete and utter arse of a panel doctor!!!
AOS Bond requested and paid end Feb2004
Visa granted 2 weeks later 12th March 2004
