Thanks for that!! (karma sent your way!)

I have been looking every where for it!! Going to scan mine in tonight in a desparate attempt to help make things go a bit more quickly .. at least it makes me feel like i am doing something!

charlie-k

Good idea - think I'll do that too!

ebyron

hehe ... bet they now get a sudden, large amount of those forms arriving over the weekend!!!!!!

pacey

haha yes i have done the very same this morning, another box ticked huh?

charlie-k

We submitted our Visas on the same day - the race is on!!

ebyron

ooooo.... keep me posted on your progress!!!!! Good Luck!! Karma sent your way!!!

Where are you heading for, and when do you hope to go?

NikiL

I am not sure why we need to send these forms as didn't we tick that box on the online application or are you all paper applications??

NikiL

we did tick it, but seeing as everyone, and I do mean everyone is being asked for it, I think its worthwhile personally. Individual choice obviously, but for the sake of one or two signatures to not hold things up potentially I feel its worth it.

As its something that was only brought in mid October, its possible that they've only just got the form sorted & future online apps will have it added to the required list. New systems always have teething problems & if we can alleviate some of those issues ahead of time and make life easier all round, why not.

charlie-k

He He - thanks. Would send you Karma too but I don't know how to do it!
We are heading for Perth. Will keep posting. All the best.


I just found out how to send Karma so I sent you some!!!!

soulrebel

Yeah you are probably right.
Ok I'm off to fill in that form now..
Lets not give them a reason to hold things up.
Thanks
BTW wish they would hurry up with the novembers.

NikiL

They're getting there, seem to be up to Nov 6/7th - you're actually one of my benchmarks - another beancounter applying 10 days before us, so fingers crossed for a CO for you tomorrow

Guys! I'm super excited to inform you: Some one who applied on 09/11/2007 just got his CO! Woohoo! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Since I can now smell the end of my heroic quest I thought of sharing between us the possible dates of leaving and the destinations.

I'll go first. I figure that if at the end on next month I'll get a CO and processing will take a month (May), 1 more month for actual visa on the passport (June), 1 month for plane tickets and final arrangements (July) or at the latest August. So the big month will be July or August with a flight from Bucharest to London and London-Singapore-Perth. I'd like to fly with the A380 from London to Singapore or at least with Malaysia.

So, as a recap: late July or 1st of August - Perth.
