Guest Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Mike R.... YEP.... He is my CO aswell !!!!! What Visa you going for, I am going for PMV (Subclass 300). Haven't had much dealings with Mike yet but he seemed ok to me, I have spoken to him on the phone to confirm my email was received since some of my friends haven't been receiveing them but that turned out to be an error on Hotmails side. So far Mike has been fine but like I said we haven't had much contact really, we're just sitting waiting in our respective countries almost getting too stressed with the whole no contact situation, my advice is to not expect much contact as he along with EVERYONE else there probably deal with a good few hundred cases and so can't afford to keep anyone up to date with their situations unless absolutely neccessary! Hey weve got Mike R as well. I think hes been great, getting back whenever ive emailed. I havent heard anything in a while but dont want to pester as I know they must be so busy. Im just going to wait a week or so until I crack and see how its all going! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helenccc Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Hi Guys, Just sharing my time line so far: 2nd March 2010 special delivery post application from Ireland 5th March 2010 CO acknowledged app and requested meds and the pcc which i had forgotten to put in envelope 8th March posted pcc 16th March had meds done in Dublin 30th March informed by email that meds are fine and application is going through internal processing. Will keep you's posted Helen x:laugh: 13th april emailed CO to let him know we have flights booked for 14th june 10. He said to email him on the 27th of april which is today as internal processing should be completed by then and he said he would see what he could do. My OH emailed him this morning and he emailed us before lunch with the approval and requested his passport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helenccc Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Thanks everyone for the congrats!! I'd say all the approvals will come flooding in now. Fingers crossed for all of you. I was sure we'd need to provide more information before we reached the approval stage but not so in the end. I think you just worry unnecessarily because of the waiting period. Looking forward to hearing your good news guys Helen x :biglaugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
