Hi Everyone,
Congratulations to all recent visa grants. I too am waiting, and have been since November 2012. It's getting so very frustrating to be waiting for so long. This is a great forum, and there is at least some comfort in knowing that we're not alone. Just thought I'd share my timeline, and I'd be curious to know if anyone shares the same one:
DRC Application
Lodged: 29th November 2012
Acknowledgement: 30th November 2012
Waiting: 20 weeks, 5 Days
We're using an MA, who perhaps set my expectation incorrectly by predicting the process would take 8 weeks. Anyway, hopefully not much longer now.
Good Luck to all!
