alansuspect Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Mine is OH, seemed a nice chap on the phone! OH is mine too, he's been really helpful so far. finally got to the bottom of this- my migration was incorrect and the reason being is that a good proportion of his clients have actually been onshore when their visa had been granted, according to him the department of immigration has acknowledged the clerical errors with this and have ironed out the 'kinks within the system' to avoid thus happening in the future. So looks like I will have to go to NZ after all. Will make the best of it though as I have never been before. First family holiday abroad :-) Glad we've managed to get to the bottom of this, although it sucks that that's the case. The time we're looking at going to Aus is about the same time my visa should be granted, so I'm hoping I don't have to go to NZ a week after I get to Aus or something!

alansuspect Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 hi, when did your CO say to go for your meds? After the start of May, which is lucky as I'll be in the UK around then so I should be able to get it all sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronyaur Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Mine is at the end of May, but dont have any idea if the visa will take 10,11,12 or 14 months to get granted. Do you know what the average time is as of now? Ive been getting different info from different posts on here. Im hoping it wont be more than 12 months.

alansuspect Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I was quoted 10-14 months which isn't really much help! I'm hoping for 11 months at the very most (when we're planning on going) but we'll have to wait and see. I think the wait is 9ish months at the moment but last August I believe they bumped the estimate up from 8-9 to this 10-14 months one.

Bronyaur Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Yes, its a rather liberal estimate 5 months across, doesnt make it easy to even get close to booking flights unless your willing to do take a punt and then skip over to NZ just before they grant the visa.

elzawelza Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Still nothing today from our CO re granting however my boyfriend has emailed them to chase it up so hopefully we should hear tomorrow...altho tbh I did say that yesterday so who knows lol xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elzawelza Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Our CO is WP....We've had no contact other than the initial contact which included a request for further information. And no, you're right there doesn't; probably is the May bank holiday backlog. Roll on tomorrow! xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabiebabe89 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 The worst is everyone you know asking when and if you've heard something. Like as if we're not already going crazy!?!
