Davidson Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I got the grant! They received my medicals 1 August 2012. They made a work reference check 2 weeks ago. And today I emailed them asking if they have any updates on the progress of my application and ta-da, they replied with the Visa Grant. I'm still in shock. And I genuinely can't thank the people here enough. Reading the threads have provided me with excellent support. xoxo Congratulation.......wishing you all the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jennaire Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Hi so visa grant in the bag, still a bit shocked! We have heard of some people getting a stamp in there passport to state there current visa. Does anyone have info on this stamp? How much it is? I've heard its good to show to possible estate agents instead of getting a certified copy of the visa over and over. I'm not sure how to go about researching this, any help appreciated?! Thanks x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks x Hi We had the stamps put in our passports and it didn't cost us anything. Not sure if this is because we used an agent, but all we did was drop our passports off with our agent who then sent them to London, and within a week we had them back. Not very exciting stamps considering the fun we have all been through (I want them to be shiny gold), but I think it is good to have both an electronic and hard copy.

Lisa HI Not signed in for a while and this caught my attention. When you say your passport was stamped, is this to validate the visa... oohhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DSouzas Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Hey everyone Well we we’re referred on 30th July and I’m really fed up now. I’m worried that we may not pass for some reason, it’s been 6 weeks now and still no sign…argh….we called global health again last night and they have said that we should hear soon, but no definite date, we’re just in the pile waiting for someone to look at them, (when we called the two previous weeks they said it would be looked at within a week!) We’re going to email the case officer tonight although I’m not holding out much hope as she didn’t respond to our last email. Please keep us updated so we can hopefully hear some good news from someone soon x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aduffield76 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Hi guys I have a quick question.... We have had our medicals (on the 28th August) and on-line it says "Further medical results received".. Some of you guys are asking when your meds were referred.....referred by whom and to who? I thought that once you had your meds, your results were uploaded on-line by the docs and then the GSM team view them and make a decision....am I wrong?? Thanks in advance Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance Andy Hi Andy Our meds were "received", then "referred" to global health for further consideration. There is a lot of applicants being referred at the moment with a waiting list of approx 6 weeks. Hope ur not one of us! Elaine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
