Think you'll probably hear within the next 6/8 weeks, your agent is covering his backside!

You've only got to look at the BE timeline to see they're processing applications from December onwards............November my ar*e!

More nerves than excitment, so many things to do and worry about

i think the official timeline includes apps from high risk countries and that is usually the tail end of the queue...

check BE and it gives a more accurate picture. IMMI do seem a bit randon as i found out an April applicant got their CO yesterday but others (same job/country) that applied nov/dec are still waiting...

I'm sure alls well shes probably just having a few days (child free)rest in hospital, and Mr Niamh (being a man!) will be struggling to juggle looking after a house, kids, wife in hospital and a new buba, we'll be the last thing on his mind!

All the same would be nice to know

just need to vent a bit of frustration...

we got our CO on 18/07 and then a request for more info, we had until 28/08 to submit them.

They've had all the requested info since 25/08...

They're now closed for the weekend and no changes...even the forms i'd sent in still show as "requested".
Tried emailing the CO directly yesterday - and that failed :curse::curse::curse:

I don't think i'll survive until Monday to ring them and chase!

really wish they'd grant us our visa so i can get out there!
rant over...

OMG WE GOT IT!!!!!

Have been away from here for ages again, it's all been too much!! I must apologise I haven't checked on anyone else's progress yet, I just had tp post immediately.
I was starting to think it would never happen & like I said it's all been too much lately so I haven't been checking the status page or emails much either.

I'm sooo happy!! The emotion is unbelievable! My heart is beating so fast, I'm in tears & I just feel like jumping & shouting WE'V GOT THE VISA!!!!!

Hmmm .... we have February 2008 applications granted, so maybe you don't have so long to wait after all?

I haven't read all your posts (apologies), but have you arranged medical examinations and police clearance certificates?

Best regards.
