Hi
Sorry can't help you on that one. I am telling myself that it will be at least May before we hear anything though. (I applied 12th December from the UK)

Muttiah

Thanks buddy.Someone else to reply??

I know exactly what you mean! It's not the waiting that's hard for me, I understand that they are inundated with applications but it's the not knowing if you know what I mean.

Hiye,

Glad to see December applicates are back on page 1 We are hoping to have a CO by the end of April God, I hate all this waiting I'm just no good at it

It's the waiting that's the killer:curse: We've got a holiday booked for July (booked it before OH's skill assessment was received:curse, which we'll cancel if we get the visa through - only problem is, we need to cancel before the 22nd May or we lose the lot, at the moment we just stand to lose £500 if we cancel beforehand. I could go on about our house sale but i won't bore you with the details.................

Hi Mary,

You lucky duck. Where are you guys going to in July? I would think and hope that we would have a CO by May If we haven't I think I will pull my hair out We didn't book a holiday this year just in case we need to validate. But you never know with my OH Our last holiday was booked the day before we went, so anything could happen

We've booked to go to Portugal.........probably the only holiday i've ever regretted booking:curse:

We're also expecting CO around end of April/beginning of May. So far I haven't been waiting too much since I'm fully employed with getting everything sold and sorted out. Don't think we could even leave before June/July anyway

I do hate the IF factor here :curse: but then again believe that since I'm on SOL, husband on MODL and no dodgy stuff involved just normal people we will get the visa. If not we go on around the world tour then

Let's keep us on page one

Has any of you sent or done their meds yet? Are we the only ones?

We sent them 19.2. so now waiting for them to be processed. Have to look into how long that takes and how do we know they've been processed in the first place? Some changes on the online application. Now it just shows required.

Have been to portugal a couple of times. I would say that you will get a CO before the cancelation date if thats not till May 22nd? Fingers crossed anyway

Hi Kaitlin,

We are waiting to do our meds and pc's when they are requested. We need to have as much time as we can get after the visa is granted. We will not decide on what to do about the house until the visa is thru and we have to sell the cars, OH has a claim to be resolved in the High Court and possible redundancy.....God, is there no end to it all Anyway for all the above reasons, we need as much time as we can get...

Helena

Kaitlin

That's understandable. We have already been planning this for the past 1,5years and pregnancy delayed everything a little bit so we are all set to leave as soon as we get the visa and after that flights

If I had my way we would be gone sooner as well but I am hoping everything will gel together nicely....with a bit of luck anyway
