Hello all!
dont want to come over all uncool and that. Actually, sod that - impatience has kicked in already!
submitted the 475 sponsorship app to SA - and the forms were received on Monday.. How long from here until a decision? The missus has chewed all her fingers off and recently started tucking into my toes,

Hiya
Have you submitted yout application requesting sponsorship to SA OR have you already got that and are now applying for your visa?
When I applied to SA for sponsorship, they said it will take upto 4 week, but I heard in just over 2 weeks and you can track your application online.
I applied for my visa on 02.12.07 and have sent my paperwork back to SA asking them to send a 1100 form to DIAC to confirm sponsorship....now I am waiting again! Getting meds done on 15.02.08 and requested police checks...
Best of luck

How long is it since you uploaded all your documents? I have only just sent my paperwork to SA asking them to sent the 1100 form to DIAC (

![EEK!](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif)
Whe I looked online last week it stated that I am now requested to get my meds done, but I dont think you are assigned a CO like the other Visa's. I assume it is just an automatice system?? I have not been emailed to say I have to go for my med, the application status just changed!
Now I am just sitting here waiting, wishing my life away, crossing off the days in my diary....I know I am sad.
Let me know how you get on!

I was wondering whether the clock starts ticking when you submit your online application, or when your printed documents are shown to have arrived.
With Christmas just gone I expect it'll be up to four weeks, but again - from application submitted, or documents received?

ha ha, we were referring to the SPONSORSHIP part - I see debbie222 came to the rescue up there somewhere.
I was wondering whether the clock starts ticking when you submit your online application, or when your printed documents are shown to have arrived.
