drizzy Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Adding in my 2c after a lot of lurking on this thread, and maybe to reassure JonnoM a bit... we applied on 17 Jun last year, didn't get a CO (WP) until October for some reason, but did medicals and police check as prompted by the online immi system in July (which is a bit early?) so maybe there wasn't anything for them to say until then. Still no grant, but it's not yet been 9 months! Will see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JarvisG Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 i just wanted to ask , does anyone have the CO with initials LG?? i haven't seen anyone on this thread with this CO. its slightly concerning :swoon: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc81 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Welcome We applied online and don't remember anything like that, it was all very straightforward and I was contacted within a couple of days by my CO. Have you not been appointed a CO yet? It's probably fine, perhaps others can reassure you or you could always drop them an email asking for an update? I have FINALLY received the email from my CO - although, I don't even have the full initials, only first name - R (working part time)... weird.

Luc81 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Ha, just noticed RN in the subject line of the email. I guess I got the full initials of the CO after all Anyone has got RN as their CO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsW27 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 What's happened?? There seemed to be a big rush of grants and now gone quiet again. Any more June grants today?

JonnoM Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 More grants ahead of the 9 month schedule this week, including a couple on unlucky Friday 13th. I am obviously very disappointed that mine didn't come through but I am genuinely thrilled for everyone who has been lucky enough to receive an early grant this month. Surely next week for me and Jkcotton? datstheone 05/06 JM Granted 05/03 Rikkeskill 06/06 JM Nearly granted 05/03!

lollipop1804 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Hi there, we we ended up submitting paper application in October 2014 and got an email with acknowledgment within 2 weeks, providing details for what to do ... Ie. Arrange medical for partner after 29/04/2015. We then had a whole chunk of our original documents returned at some point in November and we haven't heard anything since! think it really is just a waiting game after that! Good luck with your application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pookie72 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Throwing this question out into the arena - how far in advance did people book their medicals for the date provided by their CO? And did anyone book their medical slightly earlier than was requested? I've been told after 15 May, but I actually have that day off work and was thinking to book it for then. Otherwise I will have to wait a week to have my medical and I don't want to delay the process anymore than necessary. Does anyone think it makes a difference to your grant time if you delay the medical slightly later than asked? (Obviously your medical date affects your visa validation date). Ta.

PJd2628 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I have mine this Monday at Manchester. Was due on the 19th but I also have the day off so decided to go for it . Don't think a few days will make much of a difference either way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
