Doesn't the med request usually come around the time you get a CO, about the 4 month mark for us lot? If so, then having your meds in Dec is probably a good thing, that way you can let your hair down at xmas and have a good time without worrying about it.

Still nothing beats that poor filipina woman on austimeline who is 136 modl and heard nothing for 8 months...
I would say if you are planning to move pretty soon after visa grant, then can't see any harm in having med early. Feels good to actually be doing something constructive while waiting.

This has definitely been the longest post-july-2004 wait, the longest previous one being about 5 months and 10 days or so.

Hopefully this will give other 138ers an idea about timeframes, which are looking more like 6 months till med/pcc/aos request.

Thanks for that I wonder if they are doing any of the meds, pcc and aos together, we have sent meds but not pcc yet. Looks like we won't hear until Jan then!!!! AHHHHH Still can focus on Christmas to distract us!
