Still waiting!
Hello there sunseekers and others,
Well it's now been 13 months (7 to go ... I hope)!
This waiting isn't getting any easier. Especially after watching the closing of the
commonwealth games and seeing the introduction to the Melbourne 2006 18th
commonwealth games.
Has anybody recently heard from AHC in London requesting medicals and police checks?
I'm secretly wondering if it's worth getting them done before they ask, but that's my
impatient zone of my pea-brain working.
Does anybody know what month they are processing at the mo? The last I remember
reading, was Jan 2001.
Oh well, whinging over for another month, goodluck everybody else.
Cheers
Heidi

Hi Heidi We too have been waiting almost 13 months, we applied in July 2001. About
the medicals! We have had our police checks done, and have our medicals booked for
19th August. We are doing this so when they finally pick up our application
everything should be there. We haven't been asked to get them done, plus we know they
won't run out by the time the 20 months are up!!!! If you fancy keeping in touch to
share the misery of waiting in limbo land, then please do as, it's driving us mad
also!!!!!!!

Re: Still waiting!
Heidi, Dave & Yve Last I heard London was moving through its backlog and there's no
obvious reason for them to have stopped again. It does depend on visa allocations
from Canberra though - there is a recurrent myth that the floodgates open on 1 July,
which isn't true. The Department manages its visa allocations right through the
financial year.
Trying to micro-observe the process in London is not going to help you very much.
People who ring the AHC to find out 'what month' they are working on seem to get a
different answer depending on who picks up the phone.
The reality is that although processing works in a broadly chronological order, it
isn't as precise as some people might imagine. London has issued visas to some who
applied in March 2001, and possibly some later applications. That doesn't mean that
*everyone* who applied pre-March 2001 will have been issued with visas.
Why do some applications go somewhat faster or slower than others? Impossible to say
from here.
London's average processing time seems to be in the region of 16-17 months at the
moment. a bit short of the 20 month average that's often quoted.
You could do police checks now if you wish, especially as they're taking right up to
the legal limit of 40 days to come through. Cost is only GBP10. There is a risk that
your first entry date could be shortened by a few months, although there's nothing
stopping you re-doing yout police checks 2-3 months down the line as long as you
don't mind spending an extra GBP10 per person.
Doing medicals before being asked to is a personal choice, I would personally wait
until asked unless you have a specific reason for doing them sooner.

Re: Still waiting!
An added issue in this is that London is going to pick up applicants from Ireland when the Australian Embassy in Dublin ceases visa processing and as such London's already stretched resources will be even thinner ...
http://www.gomatilda.com/news/article.cfm?articleid=212
Not sure whether Dublin's existing caseload will move to London - I'll let you know if I find out any more on this point.
Best regards.

Re: Still waiting!
at the end of July, I was asked for a more detailed letter from present/past employers. They also sent the forms for us to undertake medicals and x-rays.
I'm going to wait until I know DIMIA are happy with the letters before I get medicals done.

Re: Still waiting!
Hi Heidi (or should that be Heidi Hi- I bet you ain't heard that one before),Dave & Yve.
We too are in that horrible limbo state-18 months down the line & not a word.I've scraped the postmans knuckles 3 times in a week dragging the letters through the door - only bills (& he moved out years ago).
It takes all our will power not to phone the AHC, just glad when midday comes & they shut the phonelines.I agree with what was said earlier about different answers to different callers-i was told 2 dates in a week.As for medicals,my personal opinion is get them done.They won't expire before you're accepted,& it saves time when they finally get their arses in gear.
Having said that,are you prepared in all other aspects e.g house sold,removal guys on standby etc.Our house has been up for sale for 2 months,with plenty of viewings but no offers(how come it's a sellers market until you put your own pad up for sale).
Well, that's our DAILY whinge out the way,
Keep smiling,Mark Jan & little Bob

Re: Still waiting!
On what visa are you planning to spend 9 months in Australia? If you are applying for
any other visa, make sure both case officers know about the other application.
Going to Australia won't cause any problems provided:
1. You tell your case officer your dates of travel (won't hurt to tell him again
when you're back)
2. Make sure he has a reliable way to contact you when in Australia. You will have
to leave Australia to be granted your visa, but this can be done on New Zealand -
no need to return to London. Again, you will need to tell your case officer what
you want to do.
