wrong...........................
hi every one
This is my story
applied for 136
sent application 24/4/07
xrays sent 21/8/07
meds rec 24/9/07
co end aug
meds cleared 17/11/07
contacted case officer twice, after 17/11, to see if see needed any other info, she replied once to say she will be dealing with case shortly.

I am very please to see others recieve visas, but have been noticing quite a few lucky applicants who have applied 1 or maybe 2 months after me , and note have sent their medicals 1 month to 2 months after mine, and on 136 visa, and have now recieved visas.
some people have waited 1 week-2 weeks on visa decision , from medicals clearing.
example from meds recieved to visa granted 37 days, were as I have waited 73 days, and they sent every thing over a month after me.
I know case officers are very busy, but there is a big difference in this.

As I said before I have emailed case officer to see if she needed any thing else, as NOTEMy daughter turns 11 in 8 days, this will mean daughter having to have an xray and another long wait, should I email her to see if it speeds her up, or wait and see if something happens in the next days.
I will be furious as our xrays have been in oz from end aug, meds cleared 3 weeks ago, and have been emailing co to see if she needed any thing else.
Can anyone please advice on what to do, should I wait or contact someone else.
Why havent they let me know, do you think this delay, means something wron?
help much apprecitated

It can take over a month from Meds being finalised to visa grant. Beth on the September forum had meds finalised end Oct and didn't get visa until this week.

I know it's hard but I'm afraid you just have to sit this one out.

I'm sure you'll get it some time very soon.

p.s. if your meds have been cleared already your daughter won't have to have them done.

Thank you allankate for getting back to me, I was told they can ask you to get the xray, but I hope not.
You were the only one replied back out of the 49 people who read the thread, maybe they think there is something wrong too, and just dont want to say.

toan

Hang in there,can't see them wanting x-ray once you have meds finalised

Good luck

thanks for getting back to me, Ill just have to sit it out, seen only one other person who is waiting longer than me, didnt make me feel as bad.

Don't worry, it's easy to get paranoid & think everything's going wrong when you never hear anything & can't get the information.

That's why lots of us use BE - so we can pass the time with others who know what we're going through - see you in the Barbie for some mindless banter sometime

To make you feel better (and me worse) we have applied for our visa (136) February 21st. We didn't get a CO before November 2nd. We are now waiting for our meds to be processed.

the murrays

Its awful all the waiting

That's my birthday. I can vouch for it! It's a good date!

Seriously you should not worry. Since you have a case officer everything is fine.
In my case I had to wait for 90 days before being granted my visa though I sent the australian police certificate same day as requested (= case officer allocation day) and that was the only piece missing (meds had cleared for a long time). 13 weeks were required to finalize my application (= process a one page nil line certificate) and total waiting time was 11 months and seven days. Not hearing from immigration is a good sign
No worries mate !
Cheers.

Hi Siobhan
Don't panic we're going on a 136 and had mail from our agent stating the wait from our c/o receiving all our paperwork to getting our visa's could be anything from 2 weeks to around 2 months sounds like it's pretty much luck of the draw stuff !
Hope you hear something soon
