Just phoned them and after a bit of a 'moment' when they thought we were non-MODL (
) they just reeled off the current processing times, which he quoted as 15-20th March.He basically said we should be very nearly there, when your dates 'come up' you are in the pile to be allocated a co, if you don't hear within about a week after that give them another call. Booooo!!
So, it's not too bad I guess - just looks like we'll be the ones who have to wait till it's 'officially' our time rather than jump the queue like alot of you lot do LOL
Glad you enjoyed the wine - sounded like you were sozzled!!!
Nic got a bottle of wine from a parent of one of the kids she works with yesterday, so after your fine example we sunk that along with a few bacardi's......

Nic spoke to the guy first (as she's the primary applicant) and he reeled off the dates for non priority applications (up to 1st Feb I think), Nic was like 'thank you for your help, bye' not really clocking what he'd told her. So then it was panic stations thinking that they might have us down as non priority and we were in the wrong pile so I had to call back. Got through to the same guy (phoned them 3 times in all now - and always got through to the same guy!) and explained that I was a little worried cos he'd quoted non priority processing times - he apologised, checked the info and confirmed we were in the right 'pile' for MODL applicants...... Phew!!
Anyway, we'll see what the processing times are on Monday - hopefully they'll have moved past the 23rd which is our date......
Fed up of waiting........

Hi Guys
Just can't believe it received a letter from Sydney today. Got a bit excited and then really upset because, they wanted more info etc. When I rang the panel Docs and spoke to them about it, it looks like my medical form was not completed properly by the Doctor (for example no.6 Intelligence) he didn't tick anything (lol). Now I know I not stupid as I have done all the application myself. So now they have ask me to re do the form and go and see them again. Thats a whole month wasted now!! Feeling a bit p***ed off. It was bad enough the first time round. I can't even see the one who saw me last time as he 's on hols. They did apologise and said that this had never happened before. It would appear that I am special!! I only wish I could be as lucky as this with the lottery. lol. Hubbies and kids were fine though.
PS I' m over the initial shock now. Just keep smiling, just keep smiling eh! I will get there in the end.
Northener sorry to hear you've had no news as yet. I bet it will be any day now. Fingers crossed for you.
