Yes I’m happy to see things moving.too! . But I got very downhearted a few months ago with the realisation that as a June 2017 applicant there was a huge surge around that time which would probably add 2 years to the wait time. Now I’m just getting on things and trying not to think about it but surely you should hear soon?.
I just don’t understand why applications were all being mixed up , first 864 seemed to have priority then 173 and now 143 are forging ahead! I’m happy for those who are nearly at the end of their journey though. Just wish immi was more realistic about wait times. We all thought it was about 18 - 24 months wait according to the website! My grand daughter over there was born in 2015 but I couldn’t put my application in then as daughter was going on Maternity leave and wouldn’t have met the required two years finance requirements so we left it till 2017 to meet it. Had we known the real length of wait we would have put the application in 2015 anyway as by the time 4 years later they were looking at that date it would have been ok and in all probability I would have had my visa by now!!
will be 3 years in June - and realistically think it may be another 3
Hi Linda,
I share your feelings. I've applied for my parents 4 years ago (26th of Feb 2016), was told it was going to be 18-24 months. Yet 4 years later, we're all waiting. There are not many 172 fellows on this forum. I hope it'll be our turns soon.
