Ha ha! Guess who got Grant this morning? So very excited...will be skipping to work today! This is proving to be a very good week for Grants and we are only half way through! Good luck to all you guys in the waiting room xxx

Our medicals were completed on 24th of this month and the boys were finalised the next day. My husbands and mine are still in further medical results received. We have had email contact from our CO regarding another request for additional information not related to medicals. She has confirmed that all information received has been met including medicals but nothing has changed on our online status (still stating required for all documents). Many people are stating that this may never change prior to grant. Appears to be preference of CO. If you contact institution where medicals were completed they can confirm when they were received at other end. Hope this all makes sense!

Still waiting! CO contacted to state that my "advise has been noted" and that contact will be made if further information is required. Let's hope that this means that grant is imminent. Good luck to every one else with high expectations this week!

Doing the night shift tonight following cliff hanger on Friday! I am awaiting for case officer to reply to my last email which was one of many batted back throughout the night on Friday only to finish off with no response due to end off shift before the weekend!!! Last request from CO was police clearance from Ireland, however, I only lived there for four month in total to the ten years before application date. I have challenged this and hoping for response tonight or grant would be better as CO confirmed that all other criteria has been met! Let's hope I have some great news to share in the morning! Sol2Oz hope it's good news for you also.

Public holiday or national day off. Have around 8 per year in the UK. Yes, the banks are closed!!!

Was a very long night!!! Email from case officer requesting PCC which I returned by stating already completed. Email then requesting document checklist which was returned as correct. Email then requesting PCC for when I lived in Ireland. Email back to state that did not live in Dublin for total of 12 months within 10 year period prior to application. No response as yet and guess what...time now 5.30pm on Friday afternoon Adelaide!!! Will be a very long weekend!!! Case officer did state that all other documents appear as met but still not showing on system. Did she not check dates on my application in relation to time scales living in Ireland...anyone else been requested PCC for country they did not live in for 12 months or more in 10 years previous to application? Now have to manage 9 hours in work in very little sleep and upset without clarification from CO. Anyway got my CV to sort out tonight and final documents for registration....can't wait!!!! We must all be totally mad putting ourselves through this torture?????

Doing the night shift tonight! Fell asleep putting kids to bed at 7pm and woke up at midnight so thought it good time to do some checking. Got that long awaited email from CO (team 2) and so far only requested to submit PCC which I did on 24th last month. Just sitting tight now as hoping for quick Grant! Will let you all know of progress....hopefully very soon!!
-
Yes, very quiet today! Medicals still not finalised even though completed 24th April. Received by DIAC as confirmed by Spire but still no change on system and still no email from CO. Must be in the slowest Team!!!! Getting really twitchy now as jobs are cropping up and registration for professional body almost complete but still no Grant. Checking emails and status like a maniac!!! The doubts are starting to set in as my mind is working overtime!!

Congratulations Jambos!!!

ABPF since 10th April...still no email from CO!!! Frustrating!!!! Anyone else in same situation?
-
Congrats Vickey1 on grant!!! Best of luck for your future move!!!

Amazing start to the week...grants keep on rolling in!!! Congratulations to Camilla222!! Hope I am soon to follow? Just checked online status and not all medicals finalised, still stating required for all documents and no email from CO!!! How much longer??
-
Hi sorry that last post was for perfectmax!!!

Hi Jambos We had medicals last week with two small children which went well but without a bit of bribery!! Let's just say the doctor heard us before she could see us. We had two toilet breaks with the 4yr old and a serious nappy incident with the little one. Both boys sat under the Docs desk for a bit before scrapping over the weighing scales. All of this was over usual lunch and nap times so bit stressful for us parents! Thankfully my blood pressure was ok!! Just wear decent undies and stock up on treats for the kids and all will be fine!! Good feeling tho to be at this stage :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Congratulations NatsB...the red bull did the trick! Have a very happy weekend indead!!!
-
I will have a go early hours as having to contact possible employers for further information on advertised posts. Not expecting anything as not all medicals finalised but that's how insane I am at the moment!!!! Will get the coffee on now!!! Hope you have some promising news. Feeling twitchy on all this talk of refused grants...will go and check my points again just for some further torment. I hope this ends soon as I am sure I have aged since application in October! CO allocations still on a roll also...congrats to thegigg5. Also amazed that SHandGH can hold down a job with all these recent updates lol!!!!
-
Yeah, excellent news today! Congrats to all receivers of Grants!!!
-
Excellent news...congratulations!!! Woke up grumpy this morning but instantly cheered by this news! When is the big move?
-
Hilarious!!! Having some time out from work and no noisy children has made me feel much better! The only time I get some peace is when I am poorly! Have been doing some property searches between the beechams and refilling the hot water bottle! Thanks for the soup! Just to gain another bout of sympathy....it is also my birthday! Hope some news comes your way before the week is out!
-
As far as I am aware there has been no contact to my employers. Not sure if this is something that is routine or random dependent on CO. Hope they don't contact today as I am off work with rotten cold! Only been in waiting room for one day and already feels like an eternity! I have a feeling that this is going to be the toughest part to date!
-
Quick update - medicals today and myself and boys catA and husband catB. PCC uploaded today. In the waiting room now. Still no e:mail from CO so everything front loaded. No mention of form 80 so will leave that until requested. Fingers crossed for news next few months at most anyway! Wine o'clock now as it has been an eventful day!!!
-
So very exciting! Hoping you get through your list with smile on face as you know that this is the last leg!
-
We are also in this situation. No idea what state I will be in when eventually reach waiting room!!!
-
E:mail from DIAC confirming CO and that checks have commenced on our application. No request for medicals or PCC as yet. Stressing about everything at moment as preparing house for rental, sorting mortgage, clearing attic and looking for jobs, schools and somewhere to live! Work really hectic and kids full of beans! What have got ourselves into???? Hope all is going well with CO and direct grants this week?
