I didn't lodge it in person but there is only on place and having been there with my husband it tells you where to go. it's at the op of the strand just at the end of Holborn

We were granted our visa this morning. subclass 100 :xmas24: took just over 5 months filed on 27 June. Not going anywhere just yet but hoping this helps with the job hunting
-
that seems reallly unfair, hope yours come thru any day
-
Have you chased it with your co? seems that helps.

i just spoke with my co. he said my visa should be ready to be finalised on the 4th. he asked whe the closing date for the job was which is the 5th ( got to wonder if i'd have said 4th whether it would have been ready earlier) i am a bit cobfusedtho as he said that when it's granted on the 4th it would be the 5th there. he mentioned 4 in tge mroning, but can't work out if he meant visa would be granted on the 5th at 4 am which seems odd orbat 4 pm here. who actualy does the final "yes" eith way not long to wait.

looks like AB is grant happy lately lol. i chased saying it was close to guide pircessing times and i have a job i want to apply for so would be good to send proof or a guideline for time. normally he has come back first thing in the morning but nothing yet. guess maybe no news is good news..........unless he's off sick lol
-
Fab stuff you filed the same day as me :-). Whose your co? Gonna chase mine now, what did you say? I am about to send a job app sp wondering if i can use that as an excuse as i asked if they had everything a few. Weeks back. Eeeek exciting. when are you going?
-
They send originals back and then they send you a letter asking for medicals and police checks, etc as well as assigning you your co. They will let you know if they neec anything else

just wondering if there is going to be a big gap between grants. i filed my visa on 27 june so just before time scale changed from 5-6 to 6-8 and now 8-9 months. currently its taking about 5.5 so going on that basis post 1 july would take about 7 months so what happens between decs grants for junes applications and feb when the juy ones shoud be granted.ni suspect in reality the july applications will be taking 6 months to grant
-
for those waiting for a grant in dec, i emailed my case officer the other week to check he had everything. we filed on 27th june and he said he hopes to get it granted 'at the end of Dec (before 24th)' so hopefully that means all of June should be done before xmas. nice pressie hey ;-)

Hi just had a letter with my case officer jc, she is leaving so we have been assigned kp. is she new or existing case officer? Anyoe else get the same thing? Hopefully be straight forward

We have deffered our medical requests. We have asked for a long lead in time as we are in no rush to move. Howeve she said thatt it's not normal but would be willing to do it if we stick within their good practice guidelines. i.e they want to stick to processing times so we can't delay that. Therefore she has agreed to request after 3 months, and then we have 49 days to complete meaning we have in reality up to 4 1/2 months into the process to get them the medicals and pcs and they can still grant within the 5-6 month timeframe. We did this in our initial letter so whether they would do this now they have requested them I am unsure. It will make no difference to your grant date, so if you feel there may be an issue that may delay you then hold off a bit longer. If not then just get them out of the way

Sorry very poor typing in that email

I emaile dmy case officer to day abpout the time frames. A perect job has come up in my ideal company and typica;;y I don't think they'll wiat for visa grant. I wante dto give realistic time frames so I askedgiven all the talk about extensions. This is what she said. (case officer is jc) For applications lodged in the previous financial year such as yours, we are trying our best to stick to the 5 to 6 month processing time originally quoted and for your planning this is currently looking closer to 6 months than 5. I believe the rumour you may be referring to is the increase in processing times but that is only affecting those who are lodging their applications now in this current financial year where applications are taking 8 to 9 months due to planning levels. Realistically as you lodged at the end of June, you are looking at a decision time of the end of December unless there are any dramatic changes to our processing times. I am trying to find out what that means for us as that will mean Boxing day grant date which obviously is not going to happen. But this may be useful to others.
