Fly Away

Any news on processing times today?

NikiL

Still says as of April 15th, so no official update. There's some guys Nov 18th who have a CO as of today though so seems to be some movement.

I've got to the stressed point now its getting close to our application date that I can't wait until I get home from work to get the email now (can't access BE at work) & I'm sad enough that I know the email address off pat

Why!!! why doesn't it move!!!

snipsta

Hi,

This is very fustrating, I lodged on the 21st November so keen for it to move forward at some point!!!!

charlie-k

It seems to be moving - they're just not formally letting us know. I am another November applicant whose status page has changed today. Chin up everyone, it WILL happen!

snipsta

Hi,

Status page? Is there a way of checking the status of my application ?

Maybe I am missing a trick here?

thanks,

mary1967

You can only check status page if you applied online...........

snipsta

Hi I was lodged online by my agent

mary1967

Think you need to ask him if can give you the password and TRN number to log on yourself, we've not used an agent so we picked the password ourselves.

Oz Rascal

Mary,

We don't have a password, we need the TRN number, DOB, passport number and country of origin...

Strange this is athome, I only need the TRN...

How many systems are there???

mary1967

Yes, sorry, you're right, i was thinking of something else..............think it was the verification site.

Hi everyone!

New to BE and really like all your chat!

This thread is a bit of a reality check for us - can't believe how long it looks like it is going to take just to get a CO, never mind the actual visa! some of you must be going crazy!

our meds are hopefully on their way and just about to send off for police checks. what sort of time frame is it once we get a CO (in the distant future obviously!!)?

mary1967

When did you lodge your application? and was it paper or online?
