I thought I would start a thread for 175/176 applicants so we all know the progress of each others applications and under what skill it was submitted.

and will give all us 175/176 applicants a place to come and moan when waiting and a place to celebrate!!!!


We submitted our 175 online (hairdressing) on Oct 11 2008

We submitted our online 175 application on October 5th. Trying to prevent myself from checking daily to see if we've been assigned a CO - might need to sit on my hands!

Scared single Mum! Paperwork all collected. Submitting 175 application any day now!! Its all taken so long to get to this point, anyone have any idea how long it takes to get visa through?

Chris N Lora

first of all we would like to wish you the best of luck especially for going it alone. Which occupation are you going under?

I believe after looking through posts etc, it takes on average roughly between 9-12 months but it can vary on it being an online or paper based application and also which skill you go under.

A good place to look at other peoples Visa status from start to finish is www.beupdate.co.uk, if there is anything you would like help with just ask or PM me and i will try my best to help.

That sounds like a good idea, something we might think about doing.
