Hi all fellow Augustees,
Congrats to TMRE on visa grant and those who have finally been allocated a case officer !
Haven't been on since last week, had a long weekend in Marbella with hubby to celebrate my 40th aahhh !!!! Had a fab time, ate and drunk far too much and now have not a penny to my name.
I was just in the process of catching up on the weeks events of us Augustees on BE when my mobile rang- it was my agent telling me that we have a C.O and they've requested Meds & PCC's- Yeah !!!!!! Still can't quite believe it.
Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for the rest of you guys and especially for Mr.Benn and Mark & Gill that they get their full ack very ,very soon !!!!
Off to open the bubbly once kids are in bed and hubby home from golf.
Take Care All

Hi harrycharlie,
you are right about the"strange feeling bit".I had resigned myself to not expecting a C.O for a good few months yet so quite shocked when I got the call.We also didn't realise we had a C.O until they requested meds & PCC's,I think we come to expect this great big announcement and when your using an agent (some of them) either don't keep you informed or up to date with events and hence when the announcement comes it's a bit of an anti climax.I've got to say I'm still in shock so god knows what I'll be like if and when we get the visa granted.
Good Luck with providing the rest of your info,lets hope it won't be too much longer before we get that golden ticket!!!

its mad isn't it all this waiting and when you get a co it's like oh wonder when we will get a visa
Hope we don't get the same feeling when and if we actually get a visa, it must be because you have to wait so long you begin to feel it will never actually happen. We are hopefully heading for Melbourne aswell.

Now please tell me someone else has also done this, but been too ashamed to admit it!
Augustees on the BE timeline - those that were acknowledged during January are now at these stages-
43% have their visas
25% are with a CO
and
31% still have no CO or visa (me included - ack 11.01)
(Any teachers amongst you might have noted l have lost 1% in the calculation - l blame my daughters rather basic calculator!)
Please reassure me l am not the only one going mental...turning to drink...getting ratty and laughing hysterically at absolutely nothing...addicted to BE, PIO, BE timeline...welded to my laptop...compulsively checking emails...waking up my first thought is VISA...
Hopefully by the end of the month that 31% will be 0%
Good Luck Guys - you know who you are!

Hi, Don't know if anyone can help. Our meds arrived at LCU on 23 March, do you think they will be finalised yet? Or is it a bit early? Don't feel I can ask agent, always feel like I am hassling her. Starting to wish we had gone with Go Matilda now as hear such fab things about them and it is all their clients getting the Visas.[/SIZE]
