Question when will I know

Hi I have just registered after coming across this site during a search, maybe someone could offer some advice?
my partner, family and me applied May 2003, after it took about a yeat to get TRA stuff done. We had the meds done on 17 Feb 04, police checks sent 12 March.......does anyone know roughly when we will hear anything? It's driving me crazy, and my agent wasn't too helpful. Is there anything I should be doing?
I would be grateful for any feedback
Thanks

Welcome to the site Little Miss C. Do you have any nails left??

It all sounds good though, my guess is you will have word within next few weeks. Where are you off to??

Thanks, I hope so, I can't concentrate on anything at the moment!

We're going to Melbourne - never been before so everyone here thinks we're crazy, but if we don't try now we never will! have some friends there so that will be a bonus

Hiya - welcome aboard. Don't worry, I don't think your crazy as we're doing exactly the same. Never been to Oz and moving to Melbourne at the end of October. You only live once!!!

Hi,
you should have had your visa by now, we applied july 03, just recd grant letter, see my time line on Visa granted!!! Think you should demand agent works for his money and rings and enquires, or stay up late tonight and ring DIMIA yourself. They will tell the situation.

Cheers and good luck

Ohh now I'm worried! I was thinking of sending an email to the case officer, but I'm worried about being too pushy. My agent said if we hadn't heard by 24th May he will chase up. Has anyone else emailed their case office?

Hi, I don't think you should worry and your visa will be coming soon - at least that's what we're hoping! We were ack last June, and sent our medicals off 2 months ago, PC one month ago - emailed case officer yesterday to check that they had received all the docs as we hadn't had any ack. Case officer replied saying that all docs received and we would hear from them "shortly". We're hoping to hear in the next couple of weeks.

Good luck

Hi
Yes, I emailed my case officer a few times and she always replied instantly, email her/him put your mind at rest, you will be glad you did if it turns out something has been mislaid.
