Sorry to panic you sweetie, it's my stupid fault - its a typo. Both dates should have been April. Sorry didn't mean to stress you or anyone else out. SORRY :-(

Re: Recent applications - 139
Hello its me - Mrs Impatient!
So what does everyone think the wait is from acknowledgement to getting request for meds, police checks, etc? Am I being optimistic by saying 4 to 5 months (I really hope not!). Still I suppose more time to lose weight!
Cheers
Jo

Cath...our acknowledgement took 10 days from the day they received it in Adelaide, took 3 days to get there in the post as well so you'll easily get it within a month

Lisa - It seems like we have taken very similar routes and our timelines will be very similar too.
Just thought I'd let you all know that I've received my acknowledgement from ASPC today! Its good to know that they've got the application and I'm now in the pile! lol.
Now I just have to sort out a load of additional forms and paperwork as I'm now adding my partner to the application! Its never ending! lol
All the best

Re: Recent applications - 139
Cheers everyone... driving down to London to hand in some papers to our agent on Friday.. dont trust royal mail.
In June I will have my work reference to send down...does anyone know of any courier companies that would pick it up from my work and drive it from Manchester to Oxford all on the same day??? I know it will cost but as you all know no time to think about the cost of it.

Hi Cath
Don't know of any courier companies - sorry, but we sent our paperwork to out Agent by Registered post and everything arrived in Southampton from Swindon the next day. I'll keep my ears/eyes open for any couriers though.

Have you tried contacting UPS or Fedex. Or if you look at Parcel2go they use lots of different companies.
