Just counted on BEupdate and 42 visa grants since the beginning of the month. Now that's what I call movement!!

OMG soon it will be our turn, but still I keep thinking that something must go wrong... Me and my sneaky mind playing tricks on me

Just wish we would get ours soon and wouldn't have to go at all on ETA 7th August. Hubby should start working 18th if we have the visa by then.

Hi Guys,

first post but I've been following this for a while and really appreciate the updates that people have made, especially after May and June when nothing seemed to be happening.

Anyway, more positive news for the December thread, just checked this morning and we've got our Case Officer We applied online on December 11 for a 175 modl visa.

Best of luck everyone

Congratulations on the visa guys and good luck with the flight, etc.

Maybe there is a date pattern in the processing somewhere - we found out "officially" this morning that our 176 was granted on the 8/7. Who knows???

Great advice on your earlier thread to those still waiting - just stay chilled and it will happen - as you say, think "When" not "If".

Congratulations everyone.

Just had a chat with our agent and she has uploaded the required documents (again). apparently first time they didn't upload. So fingers crossed another visa should be granted quite soon.

Good luck everyone else

Thanks Lesley
Hi

My hubby is the Chef. Nightmare that was to get him recognised as one even though he has been a Chef for 20+ years - I am a 3rd year Senior Student Midwife so I am the reason we are being held up a bit really!!!

The Case Officer has been in touch with us on 8th July to talk about our change of circumstances - told us which forms to fill in and been really helpful . May have waited a while, but they appear to be quick with their responses to questions, etc once you are allocated to their caseload. Did you get your visa granted - I think I saw yours on BE Update pages?????
