Other than WAIT, PACE FLOOR and TAKE UP ALL UNHEALTHY ADDICTIONS including web forums obviously!!
Can I ask, when you sent in the visa application, was the next thing you received an acknowledgement letter, and if so - how long was it until you got that?
ALSO - does the acknowlegement letter have your case number on it ( so if we front load our medicals will we have a reference number to put on the forms?? )
Sorry if it's been asked before.

I think it depends whether you have used an agent, we have and just got an e-mail to say DIMIA received application on such and such a date. We didn't get our case number until the case officer was allocated.

We applied on a 136 and didn't use an agent, so I don't know if that makes a difference.
All the best with your application.

Ok, so some of you say that you get a case number when your $$$'s are debited ( as soon as 11 days!!?? ) others say you don't get a case number
until your meds and police checks are requested. So that now makes me ask -what are people putting on their med forms when they front load those?
I'll be front loading my meds ( around August probobly ) so I'm hoping I'll have a case number by then. Sending the visa application in next week probobly. We're doing the application ourselves and not using an agent.
Any more thoughts?

You're ack shouldn't be more than a couple of weeks, so you'll know one way or another pretty soon.
