Great news!!

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

I am so glad I put in that complaint last Thursday. It's just not fair that they are processing people so out of date order.

Re: November, December, January & February Applicants still waiting
WHAT! JUNE! I had the bog standard response which quoted "in date order" at me. I nearly choked. If I wasn't so fed up I'd cry, but have no energy left for that. I sent a gentle email to the contacts address. Will search through "our" threads to find the complaint one and send it in. Will spend an hour or so thinking about a suitable composition for it - must warn you all I have a fearsome reputation for complaints and 100% success in the past (well I was an NHS Complaints manager so I learnt it from the sharp end!). Off out to church event - will be praying like mad. Then back to email-ville. GRrrrrrr

If we weren't now to old, would apply for the visa again at this rate, ONLINE this time of course and not using an agent, as we are more likley to receive this quicker than the original application.
How many visas are left do you reckon?
Might have to wait till next July's allocations at this rate.
So p....d off now:curse:

Is the UK now a high risk country?
Or mayb'e I read that wrong and it's high risk county.

We also seem to have a CO and everything on the checklist is marked received, except for the work experience stuff. Did you wait for an email asking for specific things, or did you upload additional proof when you saw the 'problem' areas?
We're going crazy waiting to find out if we need to send in more proof, but I don't want to attach more files if it's going to confuse things!

3 days after the status changed the CO informed us with exactly what was required. When did you notice the change?

Re: November, December, January & February Applicants still waiting
Just catching up on this and some of the other threads, there seems to be alot more movement going on than there has been for ages - fantastic stuff! Will be keeping an eye on the website until at the very least I see Janebk and Wishwewerethere get their visas
So - I cried when I got the pre-grant letter, I cried when they gave my the label this morning and I even managed a lump in my throat when we flew back in over Sydney today. Maybe I am not the hardened old bag I thought I was after all
Got a good feeling about this week - visatastic!

Re: November, December, January & February Applicants still waiting
I have news!!!!
We got the visa!!!
After 8 long months I lodged a query via the online feedback form last Thursday. This morning we got an email reply saying they would look into it - just after an email saying we had the visa!!!!
475 to SA
Applied 10.1.08.
Meds/ PCCs 20.2.08
Granted 16.9.08
Validation 1.4.08
Thanks everyone for you help and support - I couldn't have done it without you. Special thanks to Wendy, Beth and Trish who helped me through a very difficult time with our EX agent. Also thanks to the agents who post on here who have given their advice for free and all my online friends who have kept me sane.
