I booked our meds for 28th March, but cant get X rays sorted until start of April, so I dont know what to do now??
Gillian, you need to take your xrays with you to your medical appt. You will probably have to cancel meds until you have xrays done. Can you not get them for the same day like we did?

Yes, Melbourne is right. We had our x-rays this afternoon but had the medical examination done last week. Apparently its common.
Hey Joanne, that's great news. We've got a viewer coming tomorrow too and if he buys we have NO FEES either. Hooray!

Hi All,
Yes, I think it may be the time of the month as I'm going through the "Why are we moving half way across the world again?" phase. The salaries are much lower and the house prices are getting out of control.
Need some cheering up big time![Sad](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/sad.gif)
![Sad](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/sad.gif)
Also worried about my xrays. I had a lung problem a few years back and hope there's no set back.
Definitely opening (another) bottle of wine tonight!

Hi Gang
Been for our meds and xrays today, everything okay (so far).........just got to wait for our bloods and Xrays to come back next week. Pretty painless medical really, not as bad as we thought and wound ourselves up about, but really glad they are out of the way now,......... BP both normal.....bloody miracle seeing as we had to battle the morning rush hour from Leeds to Huddersfield and be there at 9am!................
.......had a lovely lunch at the pub after and let the kids run riot in the ball pool..........a good day we think, despite the small amount of our bank balance now being nearly £800 down!! ![EEK!](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif)

Hi
I am sorry but I do not post on here very much, but I do read all your posts everyday and I love them. In this harsh time of waiting you do make me giggle.
Just wanted to be sure, but am I correct in thinking that ASPC are STILL acknowledging apps received on 27 August? Is that 3 weeks now? I can't believe it. Each week I am more and more disheartened. I initially thought we would have our ack. by Jan, then Feb and now I do not think we will have it by end of March. Our Visa was lodged 29 Aug. It does not even seem like people are getting their acks. It has gone very quiet. Do you think this might be the calm before the storm?
