dasalcedo 455 Posted October 30, 2014 Got our visa today!!! Lodged on 30 August, have been fighting for this visa from 2007. We were the unfortunate applicants pre-September 2007. Now we can rest. Hope you get yours soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
globetrotters2014 10 Posted October 30, 2014 We've been allocated a CO today- so great news. We need to submit a few more docs and the family needs new medicals so we'll get those in 5 days. Quick question, BUPA website gives options on about 7 tests, do we need to tick all these (including stuff like syphilis???) or do we need to just tick assessment for Medicals and a chest x-ray?

swampey 52 Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) I submitted my application on Friday the 29th August 2014. Not heard anything yet but based on the 3 month processing time (13 weeks?) I am hoping to get this by the 28th November. I have an employer waiting for me who paid for my wife and I to visit in September; this simply made it worse as we are now even more keen to emigrate with our three kids! Will update this as soon as I hear anything...

Lair it 10 Posted December 11, 2014 why no grants for next 3 weeks? That's because it's going to be mid dec and I don't think there will be grants during Xmas season ?
