Does anyone have any idea of how long we're probably going to have to wait? I come to Oz at the end of AprilThanks Joanne Got an update today. I meet the medical requirements and they require no further documentation in support of my application. But it could still take another 5 months to be finalised............. Seems to be a ridiculously long time to wait when they've got everything!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
