Vanduex Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 2 on the weekend. Not interested though but for valid reasons. 3 more booked in this week Once it is done we will do a few more bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meercat Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) Definitely sucks especially when everyone else seems to be getting theirs. I'm obviously happy for them but it just makes me think ours has been forgotten but I'm sure it's just me being completely impatient and paranoid! Xx Have you spoken to your agent? Our agent was in constant communication with our CO and updating her with any information, such as when our medicals were done and then finalised. Because of our agent was on the ball our visas were granted yesterday, 25/03/2014, the same day our medicals were finalised. I would seriously recommend getting your agent to contact your CO and ask about the progress. This will highlight your application and get you your grant letter.

Vanduex Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Tina doesn't mind. she started the thread and it has nearly 500 replies. Mostly you saying 'nothing' but statistically it looks impressive Plenty of friendly support and willing ears for you which I think is important. Most people here know your pain. Fingers crossed for visa grants and house offer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coolbreeze Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Yes ill give them another call tomorrow if still no news! Xx Kellie, I feel fortunate that mine was done in two weeks after last document, but, I wasn't planning on getting too concerned until it had been over 4 weeks. You can imagine how many cases one person deals with in the offices. If you have an agent, just make sure they are doing all the leg work of calling etc. Remember, they are are your employee.

spangley Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I doubt you'll need to fill it out again. It'll surely be for new applicants. I'm crossing all my toes and fingers for you, try and concentrate on other stuff otherwise it's going to send you stir crazy. Your grant will come.

Kooky Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I am sure you won't have to do form80 again. Lots don't have to do it (we didnt ) in fact I recon that maybe the reason it is taking longer - more for co to check and pass off. Seems to me the people on here who have done form 80 are taking longer to get thevisa. Easy to say but try not to worry. You will get it (you have passed everything now) spit is just a matter of time. Big hugs xxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xlornax Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I did form 80..wasnt asked..just did it in case. .seems a bit random in regards to everyones time frame...but their must b some system or order surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meercat Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I'm sure you won't have to fill it in again! It seems like the changes only affect applications lodged after the 22nd March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kellie23 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Still nothing..... I have a feeling we are going to have to wait until July but if I hear anything sooner I'll let you know. Think you guys were really lucky getting your grants, as I think now lots of people are being held until July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
