Hello all,
We were lodged December 17th and no case officer yet Have used an agent and have been very patient. Do you think we should be worried? Lots of you now have co,s (fab news!!!) Should we be soon?
Also, from meds and police checks to final visa (all being well) how long on average should we be expecting. Dont know why we paid the agent now. They just told us to wait!

Glad to hear that others are in the same boat! We are still waiting also
Fingers crossed that we hear something soon. All the best folks

Ment about us gals that were chatting here at one point all day long Then it got more quiet when everyone got fed up of waiting.

We are also waiting!!! (with no buyers for our house - we will be with 4 EAs from next week - decided to blitz the market till we get our visa - then if we don't get a buyer - we will have to rent it out - not ideal - but hey - want to get there already )

Keeping my fingers crossed for you all. Think Debbie is also waiting and she submitted at the beginning of December

Kaitlin

Thanks Mary! Tried calling but got cut off almost immediately all the time. Can't keep calling them with three kids for long and I know from experience (part time job in a large mobile-internet company's customerservice line) that when you get cut off like that there is a HUGE queue. As many as there can possibly fit on the line which might be about 100 or even more.

Thought I'd try calling in the middle of the night since I will anyway wake up to nurse the smallest

Hi Mary.

Oh yes...I am waiting...and waiting. I have been really busy at work and this has taken my mind of things, however the first thing I do every morning is to check my emails, then expats forum and then my status.

Believe me.....everyone will know when that golden ticket arrives

Hope all is well at your end.

That's the same thing i do every morning as well! Missus asked me this morning if i was addicted to this forum...

The Randalls

that's exactly how I feel!!
It's such a routine! I check BE every day, then British Expats, then the Electronic page, then emails to see if we have any news...
Aggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!
Not slowly going insane any more - QUICKLY going going gone!!

The Randalls

OMG....
well here we go - so much for straightforward!!
Email from our Agent this morning:

I have today received a communication from the ASPC. They have requested evidence that your sponsor is able to fulfil the sponsorship undertaking (for example, latest income tax assessment; current pay slips or other satisfactory evidence of alternative income; evidence of major assets; including bank or similar accounts; details of real estate/motor vehicle ownership).
Please ask your sponsor to forward certified copies in the post to me as soon as possible and I shall forward them to the ASPC immediately.


Ted's sponsor is his elderly, retired Aunt...who does not own a car!
What on earth could she send?

Hi,

Our application was sent off in Nov (paper) and we still haven't heard anything about a case officer. We have decided to book our medicals and get them sent off in a couple of weeks as looking at some peoples statements they have gone straight to visa granted without being told they had a case officer. I spoke to my agent yesterday and she reckons that they are only up to end of Oct which doesn't ring true with this forum.
I came off the phone a little depressed to say the least!

We also applied in Nov (Paper) and I had the same conversation this week with my agent, getting visas for the end of Oct. I was really depressed for the rest of the day.

We applied 15/12/07 and still waiting another week passes by and status still required, no CO and no emails from ASPC. Wish they would get a move on as we need to organize schools and flights etc... This is doing my head in:curse:

Come on ASPC pretty please...

well done all those that have them already
