Your advice on what to do next re Non grant
Hi,
I am a bit stuck now.
In May our CO said that all was well with our 138 application and our application would be finalised shortly - it wasnt due to our Co going on leave.
In June the stand in CO said that there were no outstanding issues and our visa would be granted in early July
I applied for a job and got it base on this info.
Still no visa.
I Emailed again and was told that outstanding applications would be finalised last week. Not a sign.
New empoyer have requested work visa.
Now this is where I need advice. This is a really good job obtained on the information given by our various COs. Timescales are now critical. If I dont get the grant within the next day or so I will have to withdraw or be withdrawn!!
What do I do now? - I have to contact DIMIA but are mindful that they are busy and don't want to delay things any more but at this point in time I have little to lose.
I plan to ring them and try and sort it out - Your advice would be appreciated.

Thanks for your thoughts, I thought phoning them would be the best thing but didnt want to make things worse!

if you were told in May that your visa would be granted, I can't see a phone call making it worse, especially when you explain that a good job depends on the outcome coming SOON
Good luck

I agree with Carole, after all it's not as if you've been phoning them every week so I cant see they can complain.
Good luck!

Sorry I can't be more helpful. I think there's a little group of us (about 6) that are now outstanding from pre March apps.
Best of luck with the phone call.

Thanks everyone, I will ring them tonight and explain the situation. Good idea about the employer. I will keep this under my belt if the phone call fails.
Happy days!.............
