Spriteley

Yeah! The day after I moaned about it I was granted 100 visa this morning! Soooo excited! And delighted as our flights are already booked for 30 June so now I can pack up the house! So that's 7 months and two weeks! Phew!

It's more torturous than I thought it would be when people who applied the same time as me start getting grants! Delighted that it's hit the August applications and delighted for those being granted! I've been very calm so far but now the excitement/tension/torture of waiting hits a new level! C'mon visa!

Is there usually an average waiting time from completing everything including medical and police checks to when visas are granted. Is it usually fairy quickly after that or can you still wait an age?

Ive been following this forum since August and there appears to be no consistency in time from medical and police checks in to visa. Sometimes two months, someone was two days once I think, and some that just go on forever and ever. Feels torturous at the moment as our police and health went in six weeks ago and I wish there was an average to help my brain from going crazy sometimes!

Congratulations Amy21!

 

Also, just wondering if anyone has been asked by the CO to do the health and police checks without a specific date for it to be after. Not sure if we missed it on the email, but there didn't seem to be one. My husband also uploaded the health check under my section as he had run out of space on his, anyone else done this? Thanks!

i didnt have have a date. It just said within 70 days. I think some of the earlier applications seem to have had dates that they had to submit after. I'm hoping it's a sign they're catching up on the applications!

When do you get assigned a CO normally?

We applied three months ago and have not hear a thing?

We were near four months. Applied 15 August, got CO 11 December. Some people apparently never hear from co at all until visa granted if you upload police and medicals at start.

we only got a first name, and the email address supplied was a link to the service centre!!

Thats what I thought too, and asked here. There are two initials in the reference part with your application name and number in it. The first should be the same as the first name you got, second their surname. That's the CO.

I rang up to check what to put for those questions. The answer was to leave them all blank... so I did. Apparently its only required if you want the form sent directly to your CO, which some other countries want.

Brilliant! About to fill in the form! Thank you!

Hi all, especially as lots of police clearance chat, I was filling in my form tonight and went to put in that I had a CO, name, ref no etc but I have no email address for CO, and the website address is all that I could find which the police check form wouldn't accept. What did people put at that bit? Thanks.

I put up a few days ago but didn't get a reply, so hope I can ask again.

We got our CO last week requesting medicals and police checks, but it was signed with just a first name © and no second name, although the initials CB were next to our client ID in the email. Is this everyone's experience? And in the table of current waiting times no one has a CO beginning with a C. Does anyone have her? I know I shouldn't feel anxious but I do!

Exciting turnarounds now!

I did a 309/100 application on 15 August and was contacted my a case officer yesterday! Yeah! But it only seemed to be a first name, initial C, although there was CB alongside my reference number and I'm not sure what that stands for, or if that's the CO's initials. Anyone else the same? Plus on the last updated list no one else had a case officer starting C. Just need to submit health and police checks within 70 days so that's good.

Thanks!

Oh, haven't managed to figure out how to change my signature along the bottom, maybe cause I'm on my iPad?

Got assigned case officer - VF. Will be interesting to see how long it takes to get yours Spriteley as you applied 3 days after me.

Oh that's exciting! I find it funny how many people write and then later the same day something happens!

My husbands been here 15 years, he's very excited. Easy to be excited as it gets darker and colder! Scraping ice off the cars this morning!

Will try not to assume I will be assigned a case officer in 3 days time if I am 3 days after you! Did they ask you for medicals?

Hi all,

this forum has been brilliant in relieving anxieties! We applied for 309/100 on 15 August and I would have been completely worried by now about not having a CO, but thank goodness everyone is in the same boat! We've got three kids and been married for six years. My hubby is desperate to go home. Flights booked for 30 June. Let's hope that soon the COs will come flying out soon for all of us who applied after July. Thanks everyone!
