Well i got an email back from the LCU saying "Your medicals are not yet showing on our system as being processed." I guess I will keep trying.

Re: Pre September 05 Independent visa moans and groans. Get it off your chest
This morning i got an email from my CO saying they had now located my PCC she is sorry for any inconvenience caused and she has granted our visa.
What can i say, gob smacked. Was all prepared to go and apply for new PCC this morning. Now i will be running down the school to get my €500 deposit back!!

Also we though we had lost PCC as they couldn't trace them once they hit Oz, so we emailed CO and after 9 days of sweating, swearing, numerous phone calls to Ausmail and drinking, I even rang the High commission for help as no one would speak to me. Our CO emailed us this morning to say This case will be finalised in the next few weeks. What a relief !!!!! We are going to Spain on 5th Feb so I hope we hear before then. We will either drown our sorrows or celebrate either way. Good luck

Well i emailed them half an hour ago and i got one back saying that my case officer should be my first point of call. I wonder if i have done the right thing by emailing them instead of the case officer??

No stear clear of your CO until you really have to.
If you read the mail from LCU it should just be a standard mail saying something about contacting you within 48 hours and your first point of contact should be your CO.
Next mail you get will tell where they are with your meds.
I actually got 3 mails from them one saying about contacting my CO first.This was just the standard computer generated mail. 2nd mail was informing me of the opening times over christams and the new year. These 2 were bog standard replies computer generated. Thats why i didnt mention them.
3rd mail told me what i wanted. All 3 mails came the same day so give it a little more time.
