PEDLEY Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Hi Jo,We are team 4 and we were granted our CO on 7th June. We have uploaded everything except our meds which are next week. Like everyone else, we keep checking the progress of visa and every document is still required. Also in terms of our medicals (ehealth) I read on here that to check that you where on the ehealth system. So I telephoned Edinburgh today and it is only Ricky that they have any record of. I uploaded our medical appointments time/dates ect on 6th June, am I being silly in thinking that our CO would have made the connection and uploaded our info to the ehealth system. Anyway I was advised by the lovely Jennifer in Edinburgh to email our CO and ask her to upload us onto the system, so hopefully she does this by next week. Getting a bit anxious again lol. Gillian Thanks Gillian for the reply, think we are goign to try and ring tonight, we def want to be on the ehealth system so got to make sure we are on there but to be honest havent got a clue where/who i would i ask so hopefully our co will help. we are team 2 by the way got our co 14th. i am thinking that no news is good news and you never know could have our visa granted next week if they are speedy with our meds!

chris2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Hi AnneRichard.... Hoping to get out there ASAP. My partner is flying out next week to start job hunting and we're planning (kids and I) to join him ASAP. It's all very exciting and nerve wracking. What stage are you at?

PEDLEY Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Hi there Pedley. We also lodged at the same time... No CO yet. It's driving me & my husband crazy with worry. Some CO's sound fab whilst others sound very slow..... Think we r the latter!!! It certainly plays havoc with ur mentality or what. My nerves are shredded!! PC'S should b wi us by 27th June and our med's r booked 30th June....... Cannot wait till that's ovr..... It's madness what u worry bout. Best of luck. Pls let me know how u get on. Lins Hi Linsey, yes it is very nerve racking just wish they would update the tracking to put all our minds at rest, least then we wouldnt have to ring them! Think we are going to stay up for a bit now and ring in a little while, hopefully speak to our co. Will let you know how we get on at meds on thursday. Fingers crossed you get a co soon!

chris2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Hi LexyLou, The issue with eHealth not showing everyone happened to us and despite requests to upload our kids to eHealth they just didn't appear (a glitch apparently). But the difference between ours and our kids (whose meds had to couried) being finalised was a matter of days.... So for us it wasn't a biggie. Good luck with the meds... Nearly there!!!

Guest lexylou Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Hi Chris, Thanks for the reply. I have just emailed our CO asking her to put me and the kids onto the ehealth system, not sure if she will do this as she hasn't changed any of our documents to met yet. As you say another few days for courier service, who am I trying to kid I am desparte to resign from my job and get those flights booked lol. Jo, I am the same I wish they would bl**dy update the tracking system as the longer it goes on the more anxiou you become. Gillian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Hi Gillian, We had team 4 to and found them very efficient if at times a little silent..... Results are all that matter but that doesn't help the nerves. Should you have to courier your meds let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lexylou Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Hopefully we will have the same positive experience of team 4. Will keep you posted re meds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoneyandTimmy Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I asked my Agent about this as mine still show as "Documents Required". Apparently this is manually changed on the system by the Case Officer and whilst some do it straight away others don't, so time to change from Documents Required" to “Met” can vary. The agent did say however, that CO's don't generally ask for Meds and Police Checks if there is any unsatisfactory areas of the initial application e.g. work experience, or that further documents are required. So in essence she said it’s fairly safe to say that if you are asked for your Meds and Police Checks, everything you have submitted so far is ok. Agent then said that everything is reviewed once again for a final check once Meds and Police checks are received. Thanks for that info. Fingers crossed all our documents are ok then. I still haven't quite finished the form 80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
