How much longer ?
 

We put in our Application on Sept 1st 2003 but as yet we still have no word from DIMIA .....

Not even a case worker assigned .

How much longer ?

Oh my god, 1st September! I thought mine was bad it went in on the 1st March 2004.
Looks like i'll be waiting a while!
Good luck with yours

Have they taken any cash out? I'd email them, in all honesty and ask a polite "what's up?"

Yes money has been taken out, and my agent assures me that this is the norm ....

i can't believe im managing to hold on for this long without going mad ....

Didn't know you had an agent involved. Maybe they can find out what's going on.

Not the norm for our clients Stephen ... your agent should be making enquiries ...

Best regards.

We put our application right before Christmas (skilled 136) and had our medical request on May 15th. Do something!!!!!! I'd be going

Good luck!

I think luck plays a HUGE part of the process. Some cases speed along and some seem to trail in the dregs of the barrel.

After having to wait an additional year for my skills to be accepted by the ACS (previous 7 years work experience was not in the UK and was ignored:mad: ), we've been waiting since August 2003 and only received the go ahead for meds/PCC's 2 weeks ago.

Don't feel alone - The wait will be worth it in the end.

Hi, when we first put our application in July 2003. we hadn't got a case number/officer etc. we got someone to contact them in November2003 and were give our case officer, number etc. apparently we had slipped through the gaps somehow........

I would get someone to contact them asap..

Good luck

Im an august app.

Got my approval last week. had medicals requested back in March.!!
:)

I also think this is rather a long time Think I would be inclined to e-mail them direct.
We submitted 26/11/03 and have just lodged our bond.

Is this your TRA date or when you submitted your Visa Application? If it is your visa, ours went in on the exact same date and we have lodged our bond 28th May and now awaiting visas. Get chasing my man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
