Looking at the numbers on BE update - progress is excellent since last month...
Visas - 18 grants since monday (compared to 9 the entire month before)
COs - 9 assigned since monday (+1 Craig!) (compared to 9 the entire month before)
Lets hope this progress continues!
Have great weekends!

Morning all, you were busy last night!
LOL, I think we have been competing for the title of 'most obsessed' this week.![ROFL](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/rofl.gif)
Hope you have a great time. You'll be fine after 5 mins and a glass of wine!
Wish I could be there too!
Good luck with the phonecall. Don't forget to tell them that your OH has a job offer!!!!!! Then come straight on here and tell us all about it!![ROFL](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/rofl.gif)
Thanks Beccie - sadly we probably won't be flying out til after Xmas as OH has taken a contract until then so we don't stave! So we can truthfully say it's for 6 months....
I bet you will be booking that plane as soon as you get the visa! (I'm jealous!
)
Another obsessed person.
Thanks for the count - it's amazing!
Soon hun, soon, keep checking your status!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would get the employer to write a simple letter saying they have offered your OH a job as xyz at their xyz premises and are waiting for his visa to be granted in order to employ him as they are aware he can not work until he has the visa. (Write it yourself and get them to sign it!

It depends on where you go. We had ours done in Manchester and were offered a date that same week. If you're not in a hurry to go or to validate this year, you may be as well hanging on. We did ours in January because we're hoping to go in October - not so sure about that now

I celebrated American Independence day Aussie style last night as I have discovered a gorgeous pub run by an Aussie couple here in Norwich. I had some Crown lagers with the 'Aussies in Norwich' crowd; it was a fab night but has made me quite homesick for Oz! Come on immi we want to see more COs allocated!
