Mine too! Frustrated that I can't even confidently say they're in Sydney yet. Think I might chase to see if they've arrived. They were sent on the 22nd of Oct. Damn you UK Postal Service that doesn't allow for tracking once they've left the country! :curse:

We were one of the lucky April guys who got a case officer in September, but we had to send in more info. Well, it's over a month since we sent in our last bit of documentation and we're still waiting for something to happen... (And our case officer is NOT one who appreciates being contacted directly!)

As they say in South Africa: vasbyt! (Roughly translated: grin and bare it!)

Cheers
Abby (& Tim)

HI Abby and Tim,

have you applied from SA or another country and which visa have you applied for.

Kind regards
Silverski

Oh thank goodness!! Have they asked for extra info? Ours took just less than a month to be approved after having to re-upload a police cert & birth cert (so not complicated info really!!)

I know EXACTLY where your coming from Chris...

Ours was posted 14th October, Snail Mail. 22 DAYS AGO...:sneaky:
I emailed our CO last week about something different and was told by her that she is now waiting for medical clearance before we'll hear from her again.
Got an email from HOC the next day after i emailed them to see if our meds had arrived safely, and they have NO RECORD OF THEM!! :curse:
I emailed AusPost monday to see if they can tell me where they are, as i know they have left the UK through the minimal tracking Snail Mail gives you, and i've heard nothing from them, so, i know EXACTLY where your coming from.

Will keep on saying it until they clear, so if your getting fed up with me chanting, please feel free to contact HOC and chase them up for me... ;):lol: Or your more than welcome to join in!! :rofl:

C'MON YOU MEDS!!

Re: April 2008 Applicants
 
Right - I will definitely email the HOC then and check that they're there. May have to add "C'MON YOU MEDS!" to the end of my posts!
