Hi Gill

I just noticed your post. We lodged ours on 29 August. We did our Police checks end of last year. OH's was wrong so had to ask for another one, they said it would take a couple of days and it took another 40! Our Agent also did not want us to do our meds but I took the bull by the horns and just booked them. We had them on 28 February. We also had our x-rays the same day. The Dr was great and is holding them for us until we get our FRN. So Agent will not be happy but at least we have not sent them off. The bloods and x-rays have come back and all is fine. I just email Dr each week to let him know we are still waiting.

Hope you get your FRN soon.

Claire

As far as I'm aware the only Dec apps who have had grants are people on a 457 or spouse (ie the quick visas), there's only one person in November for example who looks like they've got a CO - the majority are working on pre Sept apps. Considering the huge volume received in August its to be expected that it seems like its stopped - if there were 80,000 applications thats 7 months worth of normal application load so 1 weeks equivalent of applications in August is the equivalent of almost 2 months worth usually.

This is in Belgium. Isnt it stange how the pvt sector in the UK can charge so much. I have to pay the full amount these are not subsidised by our Mutualitiet (Belgian Health care system) but still is way way cheaper than the UK costs. I also just found out the my hubbies pvt medical insurence which covers us as a family will pay us back the money. I have a smile on my face today can u guess Although still waiting onteh pre ack.

Question if we dont have our full Ack by the time we have to do medicals can we still go ahead using out passport numbers?
Fingers crossed we will have heard by then.
We sent our's with just our pasport numbers on them, strangly enough though we sent our med's off on the friday and the following monday got the email saying we had a CO and FRN!!!!

Have to say though i'm really starting to worry that something is wrong now, our agent has sent two emails requesting update straight to our CO and we've heard nothing. All sorts of worry's are starting to surface now. Just paranoid i know but when you don't hear anything everything starts getting to you.

Fingers crossed for news on house sales, visa's and everything else people are waiting for. Keep them coming DIAC you are doing a brilliant job

Know what you mean about the emotions I have to admit I thought you were describing me, I wake up feeling very optimistic but by night time I'm depressed and in need of a good drink!!

We've got our fingers crossed for you!
Mottie - thank you! Sadly/frustratingly we didn't get either of our wishes for full ack or CO. Maybe tomorrow?

The emotions are awful aren't they? I'm not a big drinker but this whole process might change that - I'm so sick of people asking how it's all going. I basically want to tell them "as soon as I know - I PROMISE you will know"!!

Please keep those fingers (toes, legs, arms etc) crossed for us (and anyone else who hasn't heard anything)

I heard that the wait for a case officer is about 5 months - does anyone know if this is true?
PLEASE don't let this be true. When we first started all this I thought we'd be there by Feb - what a joke!! I'm not sure we'll even be there by July now which is the second month we planned on being there.

we're just blindingly sending off all our requested documents to the aspc email address, waiting for the auto-reply receipt and then sitting here waiting.

hopefully they now have a hold of everything.... pccs from 3 different countries, meds, ref letters, everything.

there shouldnt be anymore documentation requests so just got to sit & wait..... humph

Hi, not been on for a few days and was expecting masses of good news from you all. Oh well it's gotta happen next week. I'm majorly stressed, trying to pack for hols tomorrow, trying to clean for house viewers tomorrow, running around sorting business sale out and work stuff and have meds in 2 hrs time. My heart is pounding (where's the vino)! Trying to calm myself before meds.

What happens after med? Does doc send on to Oz or do we have to do this. Will the fact that I'm on holiday for 2 weeks effect when it is sent off? I was hoping doc would send it while we are away. PLEASE HELP-i'm demented.

Hi Carolinemaria,
We're at the same stage as you. Our doc will be receiving the results of our xrays this morning and fingers crossed they'll be sent by courier on Tuesday (bank holiday on Monday). He's told me they'll reach the LCU by Friday and will be giving me a tracking number.

Hope this helps.

Had viewer yesterday so understand the panic!

The viewing went well. Apparently an investor is interested so his agent was around and took lots of photos. I've been told he wants it so its just down to price. I have to wait another week though to find out. Don't care really as long as the price is in-and-around what we're looking for.
Thanks for asking!

(PS. House back to being a complete mess again )

Nothing for us.

We shall now go into the "hope we hear before Easter" mode.

It seems to have been a really really quiet week for good news, let's hope it all changes next week and we hear loads.
