Guest theweekshousehold Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I know everyone feels the same and its a waiting game, but lodged Visa application on 5th March and we had already done the police checks....called about medicals and the place which is the cheapest has over month waiting time and am thinking should i book ahead for middle end of may for the medical........... How long does it take from lodging the application before they ask for medicals or even acknowlege the Visa application......out agent is pretty good but he keeps saying anytime but not very forthcoming. Has anyone got a good idea........its like wating for the phone to ring,,,,,keep looking on the computer all the time,,,,,,,,,,:biglaugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Banoff Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Going by the March spreadsheets on various forums they are just acknowledging for applications received at the beging of March so you should be very close to being acknowledged.

ali Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 When we got acknowledged last year it said the wait for processing was 4 - 5 months - we got asked for medicals 4.5 months later. The acknowledgemnt is just that - telling you they've got your application, you than have to wait for a case officer. We came on a 136 visa and the whole thing took just short of 7 months Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jonseywife Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 :yes: does any one no how long it takes after medicals and police checks have been sent of. I think it varys and depends on the case officer ........ as soon as 4 weeks or more than 8 weeks if you get a lazy one !!!!!! :biggrin: The weekshousehold....... We booked our medicals ahead coz like you, our doctor had 6 weeks waiting time, im glad we did. We have been given c/o today and have meds next week!!!! Its OK to get meds done before they ask, loads of peiople do it.... it's called front loading apparently (I thought that was just a washing machine!!!!!) or is it pre loaded?????!!!! lol :confused: It just saves time... you may have to wait a while longer for case officer and if you dont book meds till then, it just strings it out even longer..... and its bad enough waiting as it is!!!!!! Bare in mind though, once your visa is OK'd, you have a year (from the date of meds/police checks - which ever is the earliest) to activate the visa !!!!! Have you checked out the Colebecks time line?.... it gives you a rough idea on how long people are waiiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
