Over a week ago and still no word..... Anybody else sent in all the documentation and not got their visas, I know I may be a bit impatient but all we seem to be doing is waiting for everything, the house sale, the visas...

JayneS

I didn't hear anything for 2-3 weeks after sorting bond out so I shouldn't worry too much. It appears that's about the average looking on timeline.
Good luck.

just a quick question

what documentation to you need to send
sister has just had the request and i was just wondering

Innyjim

Once you sister has lodged the bond the bank applies for the guarantee paperwork which in our case took about 10 days. This can then be collected from the bank and your sister needs to get certified copies of these and the paying in slips. She then keep the originals and sends the copies to ASPC. If all is in order ASPC grant visa........

Good luck.

Hi Leanda,

Do not worry. My best friend received the request for the AOS Bond, and her visa was granted exactly two weeks after it was sent to ASPC.

It is coming......

Cheers.

she has been given some voucher style things from the bank
are these the guarentees
does she get cert copies of these and send them to the ASPC

Innyjim

Sorry mate didn't see them, read the AoS request letter, it explains all.

aidbish

will get her to scan the letter and send me a copy

JayneS

Hi there - yes she needs to get 2 copies of whatever the bank gives her back and then get them certified and sent to the case officer. Mine took 2/3 weeks. Good luck.

aidbish

was that 2-3 weeks for the visa to be granted
getting excited now

leanda

Thanks guys for that, its the end of tunnel for us in this visa nightmare but won't be happy until we see the light!!! Hope you all hear soon regarding yours.

JayneS

My bond was paid into the bank monday 10th May. I had my visa finalised by email from case officer on the 20th May (which was my birthday so that was great!). It would have been posted that day but she had to email me as hadn't received my letter for where it was to be evidenced. So I suppose if she'd have had this info it would have dropped through my door around the 24th May. (as it happens got to me 26th) So exactly 14 days which seems to be about the average! Good luck!

i know how you feel
my sister told us this is the easiest part - the selling up, getting shippers in and finding somwhere to stay when you get there is the nightmare stage -gulp
