Received an email from our CO and it stated that the PCC we have provided are now expired. MEDS have been extended for 3 months to Facilitate the initial entry date by 15 Jan 06 (meaning that the applicant to provide new pcc, case granted). If an extention is required then new MEDS are to be done and sent off before the 12 Feb 06.

We have in the meanwhile done and couriered the PCC and CO should receive by 21.12.05.

Can we go ahead with the necessary planning and how long do you think the CO will take to respond to the receipt of PCC as they have given us basically 1 month to prepare to leave and we still have not received actual grant to get VISA Labels.

If possible, make the entry before 15th so as to minimise future change in circumstances that could affect your eligibility for the visa. Which post will be evidencing your visas ? how did you send the new PCC and can you confirm they have received them. Contact the Evidencing post and explain the urgency and the small window you have for travel and will they agree to a one-off persona l(while-u-Wait) evidence of the visas assuming ASPC get the approval Email to you in time.

Until your CO confirms receipt of the PCC, you should not confirm flights, only provisionally book them. Mail takes about 2 weeks to get onto files in the ASPC so you need to confirm when they arrive and then request CO to actively try and retrieve them from the post room.
