I told him so!!

So whilst my OH and I were waiting for our acknowledgement to come in we were wondering what else we could do besides twiddle our thumbs, I suggested frontloading our meds and police checks, seeing as there appears to be a backlog of applications at the moment.

Naturally, with all the umming and ahing that men have to do before they come to a decision we were still at square 1 when we got our acknowledgement at the start of this month. We've only just got our police check form for UK sent off last week and I booked our meds today when, lo and behold, he gets a letter asking to get all this stuff done so they can assess our case accordingly. If all goes well we may very well have a New Year's present in the form of a CO and, fingers crossed, a visa!!

For all you ladies out there with procrastinating hubbies, I'd get started on filling in forms and booking meds cos it might take an age for them to get with it!!

I must admit, I am in a dillemma as to do mine or not. The sensible side of me is saying wait because we haven't even had our acknowledgment yet (despite me checking my e-mails everyday and shouting at the computer )

I would possibly get all the forms ready as there's quite a bit of info to fill in and then book your meds and post your police check forms as soon as you get the green light of acknowledgment!

Is there???

How do we go about getting our police checks?

At least it would make me feel like I am doing something.

Sorry for not getting back to you earlier Tahe! I didn't get an email update that says someone has replied to my post. Strange that...

Anyway, let me know if you still need help with police check forms!

Hi tahe,
I have been told you can download the forms online, but we just rang our local police station and they gave us the phone number concerned, we rang them and they put the necessary form/package in the post, dont forget you need a separate pack for each adult applying for a visa. Hope this helps.
