Moh Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I have noticed that there is an update on the spreadsheet today. An individual who applied on the 7th September 2015 (Same day as me) received a Direct Grant today........hopefully we will all start to hear some good news shortly!! Hi stablemav, Did a CO review ur case yet or were u contacted in any sort? I have applied on the 9th of Sep. And on the 14th uploaded all my docs including pcc and medical but not form 80. Still didn't hear anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stablemav Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 With the risk of being reprimanded for posting a link, the spreadsheet is here ...... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FbZvlgMTC54aMv2LVhtcQuBXMfUkIpydWuZAAFHf8-Y/edit?type=view&gid=277&+f=true&sortcolid=-1&sortasc=true&rowsperpage=1250&pli=1#gid=1024841965 We have yet to hear anything, i'm hopeful we will not hear from a case officer and instead just have a direct grant, we front loaded all documents also....;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selina Smith Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 Wow! Can't believe there has been a direct grant already!! Exciting times especially for those that front loaded everything. I'm waiting to hear off a case officer before I do medicals and PCC but we aren't in a hurry to go over. Feel like the countdown is on!!! Good luck everyone x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirstyj Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Hi shelly yes you can go on holiday but the only problem with this is if you apply for your tourist visa say on a Monday and you receive this on Friday, but in the meantime you receive your permanent visa on the Thursday your tourist visa would then cancel out your permanent visa, hope this helps, but I would assume if you have applied already you should have your permanent visa by January Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apra216 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 There are 2 direct grants this month as per the spreadsheet and both of them are onshore applicants. Hope me and all the other offshore applicants will hear from the dept soon. Fingers crossed,,,, any time now :jiggy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracy977 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Hi all, we were invited to apply on 7th September, we lodged application the same day. We were contacted this morning by a CO who requested information / evidence that I had already included with the application. I have now uploaded these documents again but wondered if anyone else has had information requested that they have already provided? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
