Junie1 10 Posted April 19, 2011 I applied for a cpv in January 2011 and am wondering if anyone knows how long the wait is as I will have to think about putting my house up for sale etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ali 16,177 Posted April 19, 2011 I think they can take a couple of years (but don't quote me on that one), someone who has applied or received one will be able to inform you better than I. I just want PIO to be a happy place where people are nice to each other and unicorns poop rainbows Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Linday 320 Posted April 19, 2011 We have just got a case officer after 11 months. It was around 15 months waiting time for a case officer, but this has speeded up recently. There is a tracker here which should give you an idea: http://www.chireckles.com/cpv/tracker.php However, once you have your visa, you can validate it with a holiday, within 12 months of the date of the medicals or police checks, whichever is sooner. You can then come and go for 5 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
