Hi all
anybody got a rough idea on time span after police checks and medicals.

Pollyana

No-one can tell you that. It varies from person to person.

Hello

I'm sure that you gonna get your CO soon

I just read this on the other forum (somebody rang DIAC today)

"SMP still not being fully implemented as only VIC government released their SMP. so they clearly said to me that at this very moment, cat 3 are still being processed normally.

don't worry to much
should be fine

bye

sparkey

Hi

Is it right to assume that not having a case officer now with the Cat 2's being allocated CO's, I'm in for another long wait..?

Fordies

police checks sent off, medicals booked seems to be going to smooth, hang on in there sparkey

sparkey

Rub it in why don't you !! LOL


Good to hear that things are progressing so fast for you now, must be so exciting, how long do you have to wait for your medical appointment?

sparkey

Fordies

Hi sparkey
medicals are booked for friday, I think the police checks only take a couple of weeks, we are hoping to head off to the gold coast how about yourself.

sparkey

Hi Fordies
That quick, I thought you would have to wait weeks, even months for an appointment for your medicals, that's good to know, I would love to be going to GC too but OH no so keen, considering he is the main applicant I can't argue !!!!
We are hopefully going NSW, Erina,Terrigal area if possible, tbh, I will go anywhere as long as we get going !!
All the best for Friday

Sparkey
