Patient as ever I see !!!

What are you going to do when you have the acknowledgment and have months of nail biting and people constantly asking you "Have you heard yet ?" ?

Did you pay by credit card?, have you looked to see if it's been taken out yet.

Ours was taken from the CC within three weeks, but acknowledgement didn't come through from our agent for six. But we weren't bothered cos we knew it had been paid.

Wendy C....you're a godsend.

Just checked with my bank and they've debited the CC on 24th May.

REassured at last !

Thanks Wendy

D'you think that once they've opened up your application form to find your credit card details and taken the dosh off you, that anyone actually looks at your whole application and starts the ball rolling??

Totally agree, however when we first applied i was doing my nut as we waited nearly 3.5 months and nt so much as a sausage, I was just about to get upset with my agent when we got the acknowledgement then two days later we got the med request !!

Be patient easy for me to say though.

I believe that they look over the application quickly to be sure you have enclosed the correct forms, etc. Any that are incorrect or missing key elements are sent back to the applicant. At least that's what I was told by an agent friend in Perth.
