YYYAAAAYYYY!!!! 309 Granted 5 mins ago! We had some hiccups this week! My CO (DP) has left on indefinate leave with no return date or a referal address so we were worried that our visa would end up being granted at the 9 month...ONE PROBLEM THO... the criminal check (2nd one issued after the request of DP) was about to expire in a few weeks! We emailed another case officer ysday explained the sitution and today we recieved the grant from her! If Im not mistaken we hit he 7 mark!!! To anyone who already has a visa, do you guys know how we present the visa at the airport? do we just print the letter off and keep it with me till we get to the boarder check? Also must I inform the airline company at all in advance? Hope all the Jan appliers get good news soon!

Will do!!!xxx
-
WOW!!! Congrats! I am so happy for you! I hope the next step in your move turns out exactly how you guys imagined! Best of luck ps we lodged the exact same day as you so hopefully we will be expecting good news soon! We will email our CO this week just to see how things are going (last email we sent was 3.5 months ago! xxx

I will do some shifts at a bar my friend managers. fi.gers crossed we get early grants
-
Ahh hang on your getting a temp visa aren't you? ok got it
-
Which dates are you looking at booking for? Just curious as we submitted only a week apart! and will be looking into booking in 1-2 months from now!
-
Sounds perfectly fine to me hun! I wouldn't stress about it if I were you! Don't see a reason why this should make any problems!
-
Sydney! That's where I was born. Haven't been there since I was 12 though! Where are you moving to?
-
For a couple of pounds I wouldn't worry at all!!! hahaha...Who hasn't got a couple of pounds extra anyway??? the "jobs" are working for my father in his shop as a back up plan if we don't find immediate jobs...we put that in my sponsor reference... But I am avoiding having to go down that route, made enough coffees in my life to have to do it again at 26!

dam my CO doesn't give us any info! I have refrained to emailing him as I don't want to be annoying...I have prob sent 3-4 emails since our application date and they were literally to let him know what's happening with our meds and police checks. I cheekily asked him if from now on it is just a waiting game and that we should not expect any reason why my fiance shouldn't be getting a grant and he didn't answer! He replied to my email but didn't mention anything abt that I have heard other CO's reassuring everyone that all they have to do is wait now. My partner is healthy, has no criminal record, we had tons of evidence , we are engaged and he has a Masters Degree and we already have a house and jobs to go to...I hope there are no probs just because he is Bulgarian (passport class 2). I read somewhere that class 2 passports usually have more trouble getting grants.

Yeap! It is! They take into consideration anything that could cause expenses to the Health System. If you are overweight you are more prone to cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Also don't forget the vast amounts the NHS pays over here due to obesity. Tulip if you are not too much overweight I don't see a reason why this should affect your application. On the other hand if you have health problems that stem from your weight maybe you should look into it and consult someone now that its still early?

...You got a 7mth grant?!!!???
-
Nope you can fly to New Zealand for instance...no need to come back to the UK as far as I know!
-
Um it took 3-4 working days for the results to come through but they "send them"(?) straight t the CO I think. They only call you if they find any abnormalities. So we personally haven't seen the results. You can pick wherever you want. We went to the Basil Mansions one in London its behind Harrods on the left in a side street. Doctor was a really nice guy.

Might of been me and my rant back in January! haha
-
Realised this when I paid too!!! It was a horrible shock! Glad I'm not the only one cause some people in here made me feel a bit stupid for not realising the increase Phew!
-
Yeap we have DP! We haven't emailed him many times as we don't want to pester him but he is straight forward and answers within a day!
-
Wow that's expensive! ours was 270 in London!
-
In the same boat! August is the earliest we can go (financially) but I am doubtful they will be granting before the 8 mth date Im hoping by second week of Sept we will have the grant.
-
CONGRATS!!!:jiggy: Fantastic news hope everything pans out as you want it to! ps weird question but did you seem to find a big fluctuation in price of the tickets as you booked so close to flying date? We too will be booking the minute we get the visa granted and are scarred that the prices will be expensive if we book last minute...So far from looking on websites it seems like the prices don't change that much

he askes for our address in aus...We just replied to his email with the address and he was fine with it

My family have moved to Syd (parents, brother sis)since November due to the crisis in Greece. We are all born in Sydney but moved to a greek island in '98. My fathers earnings reduced by 60-70% in the lapse of 1.5 yrs even though competitors closed down too! I moved to the UK to study where I met my Fiancée and we now are also wanting to join my family in Sydney but we have to wait for his visa first. It's a big decision and will miss all our friends over here in the UK but think it's for the best...the economy is not looking good here either...and I'm kinda fed up with this weather!haha Not to mention I had HUGE problems with my EX-BOSS (YEEESSS HE GOT FIRED!!!) so I was kind of fed up with my life in the UK What is your story?
-
When you say backstory do you mean why people are migrating or anybody's experience of the partner visa process
-
I was also thinking of doing this! I will look into it tonight...we are on a tight budget that's all do not think we can afford more than £650 each one-way!!! Thank you tho!
