Re: November, December, January & February Applicants still waiting
That would have us we have had to send two documents again but they seem to ask for one then the next. Our wedding certificate was the first thing that they couldn'y open so we went that then they come back and say they can't open eve's birth certificate. Do they not try all at the same time??? it would make sense.
BTW does anyone else hate the weekends at the moment?

I haven't really enjoyed weekends for some time now - because I enjoy counting the visas!
Always glad for Sunday night here - because it's WorK Day Monday in Aus

What are you going to do when you get your visa - carry on counting or go into withdrawal.

Re: November, December, January & February Applicants still waiting
Thanks for the answer - will dig out the passports and check. Have sent lots of payslips, P60's. I have job des as well so may send them. Will organise another reference letter based on another thread to add to what was already written by my boss. My eldest turns 16 in 49 days (so she keeps telling me!) so have requested a PCC for her and a form 80 for her to sign and send so that is covered as I don't anticipate having a CO whilst she is still technically a child. Yes I hate weekends - not knowing where they've got to, whether I might wake up and have a shock and find an email, but knowing it is only everyone on BE sharing the pain! House now officially on market so having to be manic about not leaving a mess etc. I just keep hanging onto that dream...

Hi:
called this morning, eventually the lady willing to open our file and confirmed we have a CO on 29/08/08. she said a note saying that require add doc, so will let us know what doc is required within 3 weeks(3 weeks...not 3 days
). we had sent all standard doc which required online, not sure what doc they want again! waiting and waiting.....
just let everyone know that if you find out you probably have a CO, please call, otherwise you would't know what they want again but just waiting for nothing!

As it is official, i definitely went nuts....
I will try to help myself and give a call... after 7 months they could at least give a quick look.
Does anyone could give me the phone number... Can't call the 130 from where i am... just does not work...
Cheers mates, and good luck

Bit of a slow week for visa approvals last week, only about half the amount approved compared to previous weeks

Well done on your visa Stefjt
Hey Jane,
Only after he has taken a look at ours.....then probably thought no I leave it till later again and gone off and done another "easy one" to get his daily quota up.
As you can tell still fed up!
No luck with Jimmy jangly jangly jewellery then
