Re: AUGUST 2007 Applicants
Hi Chris and kath.
Great to know that we're in this together !!!
Thumbs up indeed !!
No I have not front loaded as do not want to be caught out with the 12 month expiry and validation issue - especially until I know the true visa time line.
I will send for police checks and arrange medicals as soon as I have a file number though !
Chris -Cheers for the Visa info yesterday - great post !!

my pcc's run out juneand we are already in a rented house thats not really big enough to swing a cat! don't want to stay here a major length of time
got my youngest b'day party with a bouncy castle booked for next sunday to break up this week (or drive me insane with 15 under 6's ) and then going away for half term, then its november. keeping busy and the weeks fly by
will probably be booking meds for mid/end november as said b4 can always move them if no FN just to be safe.

Re: AUGUST 2007 Applicants
does anyone think that september applications are slowing down and the reverse with july's.
i'm sure of it .....because................when the new online application system was introduced in september immigration threw extra resources at sept applications to "feel the water" and iron out any teething problems. now things are running smoothly they have returned all co's back to applications pre september. here i took this from one sept.......
I Just feel that although we all had a fast start, and everyone was jumping for joy at the speed of it, it now seems to have come to a halt, and it does not make any sense to me to think that LCU would place 175 online applications especially those with COs to the back of the paper based 136 applications.

Re: AUGUST 2007 Applicants
I do think it was a little unfair that 175 were put infront originally but then putting them behind is not really fair either. I don't understand why they cant just do them all in order, after all they are the same visa essentially. I for 1 am waiting for a 136 that might have been granted if it wasnt for the change.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that behind the scenes they are working on mine too
Hope that things start to move for all you August apps. Sending you all some acknowledgement karma

Re: AUGUST 2007 Applicants
I may get shot for this but it frustrates me to listen to sept applicants moan that they havent had their CO yet, even though they are not even a month into it and they have pre and full acknowledgment YET us poor Augustees havent even heard a thing, nothing. In fact as far as we are concerned our files could have been signed for and binned.
Its going to be soooo depressing when the Sept start getting theirs and we are still waiting COs.

Re: AUGUST 2007 Applicants
Gonnago - I totally and fully agree with you. I am very pi$$ed off that they are having a whinge about not having CO's - get a grip Sept.'s!! I know it's not very sporting but lets hope things start to slow down for them so they know what waiting feels like. Phew - I needed that!

And just to add that from what I've read on all of the different monthly threads, everyone has a moan sometimes, June and July applicants could be annoyed by August applicants being inpatient!
And I certainly know what waiting is like, it has taken over 7 months for OH to complete his skills assessment, whereas I've seen others getting them done in less than a month but whilst I've moaned about our own process, it would not have been very sporting not to share other peoples excitement at getting theirs.
Right, off my soap box now
