Default Sold the House

Hello folks

Just accepted an offer on the house because it was only £2500 short of the asking price. We have our medicals next week so I am really hoping we get our visas by end of July because thats when the buyer wants to move in.

Feeling a bit gittery.

What do you think Clare, have we sold too early or do we have a chance of getting Visas within 2 months of taking medicals. We are all fit and healthy and have no previous medical problems.

A couple of weeks ago, it was wait .. wait .. wait ..

now it's "stop the world, you want to get off!!" ...

It's certainly all happening, isn't it .. congrats on the house sale.
I hope your visas come through asap .. just in time for summer ..

Hello 1066, you are absolutely right, however i have always been one to worry. When things go too smoothly I always imagine someone mucking it up. In this case it could be the CHC taking 6 months to issue our visas and we are homeless. Hopefully everything turns out o.k god willing.

Hi there i am similar timeline to you AOR 20th July - still waiting for med requests. I had visions of putting house on market this month but until meds come i cant get going - just in case...............

I want to be out there so fast and then i dont.

We are only going for research trip this July so dont want to rush things - we may wait till we get visas before putting house on market which at this rate wil probably be September time and then take a leisurely move out there.

I dont want to emigrate with 3 small kids in winter so may even wait till next spring.

Is it 1 year to land from time of med requests or visas?

It all happens so scarily fast after med requests doesn't it; after such a long wait its a hell of an adjustment to make.

Not surprised you're jittery - i am too

Hi, Bsidebaby

You have 12 months from the day you attend your medical/xray, [whichever comes first] to 'land.'

Thanks 1066 - thought as much - we can always go and land and then come back to sell house if need be.
