WOOOOOO!!!! That is awesome news! Congratulations!!! Go Rosemary ;-)
-
We had the same case officer - and we needed to provide a statement similar, and once supplied - we had our grant within 3 days. GOOD LUCK!!!
-
Fantastic!! Congratulations!! Brilliant news!! Can you quickly nip away overseas for a day while you are there to re-enter and activate it??
-
ARGH! Frustrating. You need to convince hubby to just go for it! :-)
-
Very true - We got told - there isnt any reason you can't go ahead with the medical before contact, however to be aware they have validity dates. My hubby just went with what i suggested, but i was holding my breathe that we were doing the right thing - turned out it was! :-)
-
Have you thought about getting the medical and PC done now, before you have request. It could trigger them to get cracking on the application? This is pretty much what happened with us. We booked medical, the day after it was done the CO contacted us to get the PC and an additional document..

We submitted 4 from Australia who are all citizens, and also, had 2 from the UK - used the form 888 but didn't worry about having their ID certified.... just had the form witnessed by someone on the list. We have lived in the U.K. For 8 years together, but had friends in Australia who attended our wedding and we had visited etc, so used them.....

I'm still feeling guilty that we got such a super fast grant and others other waiting. I don't understand it at all. I saw your comment about advising someone to make a mistake/leave something off their application so they get contact..... this is almost what happened with us. Applied; all fine, then we did medical, and realised we had made a mistake, so uploaded document to rectify and then we had contact requesting something else we forgot and the police check, uploaded the requested info and had a grant a week later!! All in under 3 months....
-
Thank you!! :-)
-
It was straight forward, no option to fast track: we did however make a mistake on our application and accidentally left off a document that was requested after medical was submitted (January 20th) , but other than that, everything was simple. I have no idea how it was so quick, but we are ecstatic, 3 kids to prep for the move and our house to get in order, we can relax about this part of it now.

woow! Soooo cool!! Yay! Congratulations!! They are rolling in!! Has everyone checked their emails?!
-
We just got our grant!! I'm in complete shock as it was SO fast!! Straight to the 100. Really pleased, we can start the process of selling our house and everything else that follows!! We applied on November 14th, so it was less than 3 months.
-
Wooooooo !!!! Congratulations! You must be relieved it's all over! Yay!
-
Good luck!! I've got a good feeling it will be really soon for you.
-
From what i have seen, it doesnt always change, sometimes it does, and other times the status has stayed the same even when a grant has been given.
-
Oh darn! Hopefully you hear soon!
-
We submitted all requested information last night. That's us done - now we wait. Anyone have any news from today yet?
-
At least you are ready for when it all comes through. x We need some decent weather so we can finish our house - at the moment, its not even at a point i'd let anyone in to value it! :-/ That whole 'you've got to spend money to make money' has hit....
-
Really hope you hear soon. I wonder if they are given to a CO, and the CO's process them slightly differently. Ie: Some CO's seem to get in touch at the 5 month mark, ask for medical/pc and then grant like a week later, others get contact earlier, and then have a 2-3 month wait for the grant.... (all seem to be similar in total time to be granted though - so thats a positive!)
-
Brilliant!! We applied 14th November - went for the medical before being asked and once it was cleared they requested the Police check... sounds like we are at similar stages. We got PC in the post today - so we will be uploaded all final info tonight. Lets hope we dont have a massive wait after this - i'm hoping maybe only 2 months! lol
-
Bless, that's so tough! Here's hoping you hear really soon!!
-
Fingers are crossed that you and Uhtred both get your grants asap!! The waiting is horrendous!
-
Fantastic!! Sounds like there is more going on now... good news all round!
-
Good luck Friday! My hubby was really impressed with how smooth the whole process was and actually enjoyed the experience! ;-) It was all loaded and confirmed as successful (I cant remember the exact word on the immiaccount) 48 hours after. :-) Have you done PC? So basically, this is the final info submitted? Which would hopefully put you at the stage that Ashabree was - with her grant coming a week later???
-
Yay!! Super exciting news!! What a happy Monday it is for you guys! Make sure to keep us updated with your moving plans etc!
