Am getting really fed up now. My money was taken on the 7th but I still have not had an ack. Anyone else in the same boat? Want to get my meds done asap so as not to delay things too much. I don't know why they don't ack first then take the money, at least you would be warned.

Anyway, we have just had xrays done and meds are in a week or so. Didn't want to cancel, so going ahead and hope we have something by the time they are sent off.

Our email says we won't get full ack and file reference number for up to 12 weeks. Some July applicants only had a 3 week wait but there were so many more applications in August. If you are using and agent they will email you to say money has been taken if not it should go straight to you.

thanks for replying susan,
so they will hold onto them all until you give them a FN-thats good to know. with 2 adults and 2 kids could become the most expensive medicals in BE if they got lost
![ROFL](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/rofl.gif)
I just don't want to be delayed more waiting longer for them to be processed in Sydney.
Husband is worrying that we will get them done and then when the CO gets to our application fails it before even requesting for medicals (for some unkown reason) so will have wasted all that money. That can't happen can it?
![Confused](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/confused.gif)
OH keeps questioning and that makes me question my thoughts on the process. going to email my agent now.
![ROFL](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/rofl.gif)
Adelaide area? Have looked at many and been put in contact with one of my clients RAF friends who now lives there and has a nice short term rental down in Morpett Vale and from looking at house prices would probably be settling that direction. From threads/posts on here the more Northern suburbs aren't favourable(some areas) in some peoples views, ive never been so i dont know yet, glenelg seems nice but for the more space and house size wanted its too expensive for us i'd say.Not bothered about being 'right on the beach' and have even thought about hiring a campervan after we arrive to have a proper look around for a week or so. where are you thinking?

Send a couple of emails to them and see what they say. Thats what other half did, think it was 5 in the end as the computer kept saying email couldn't be sent
We had quite a quick reply

Hi KJC79
Just read your thread. We are also waiting like you, and heading for Adelaide. Hoping to be over there Feb at the latest as eldest son has started year 10 , worried that we will effect his schooling too much if it takes any longer. Sent off for our Pcc's last week, thinking of booking medicals soon as I don't want any delays like you. At least you have heard something, we are still waiting for pre- ack. Thought today was the day. Fingers crossed for tomorrow
Ps Have been told Brighton is a really nice part of Adelaide.
Glenelg also but it is very near to the airport.

Just read your thread. We are also waiting like you, and heading for Adelaide. Hoping to be over there Feb at the latest as eldest son has started year 10 , worried that we will effect his schooling too much if it takes any longer. Sent off for our Pcc's last week, thinking of booking medicals soon as I don't want any delays like you. At least you have heard something, we are still waiting for pre- ack. Thought today was the day. Fingers crossed for tomorrow
Ps Have been told Brighton is a really nice part of Adelaide.
