alofbrighton Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Hi there, we had our medicals in London on the 5th May and visas granted by the 20th! So be very afraid, nervous, excited, emotionally overwhelmed and anything else you can think of! SA sponsored visas seem to be moving very quickly.

Just wanna get through the medicals and get that visa then I we can breath a HUGE sigh of relief!!!! Hiya, We had our meds in maidenhead today and it was fine. The doctor is great and the nurses are great with kids too. My little boy didnt want to have his picture taken so they bribed him with chocolate biscuits and he was only to happy to comply! Theres nothing ot worry about either, its pretty straight forward - urine test, blood tests and weight and height. The X ray took about 2 mins and then thats it! We started ours at the beginning of the year too and have been pretty overwhelmed by the speed of everything. Hope eveything goes well for you!

Are they nice?? Good with kids? got 6 to take and already warning them to be on BEST behaviour!!!!:biggrin: Honestly - there really is nothing to worry about! We went to Maidenhead and they were amazing. We had Dr Russell and he was superb with our two girls - gave them little nursing jobs to do and made it all a big game for them - hey loved it. All the girls had to do was eye test, wee test and lay on the couch and have their belly felt plus their height. BTW - there a lovely hotel/restaurant next door and the food is great! Come out the back way and it's just on the left! Right on the river - great views. Good luck! (not that you need it!!!!!:biggrin:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxg Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 OMG that is really quick. Well done. We are going for a 176, so lets hope ours is as quick. We are estimating 18months, but if it does come quicker than that would be a god send as we just want to go now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not expectiing it to be this quick, we have applied for a 176 State Sponsored, only started the process in Jan 2011!! Gonna have a LARGE drink tonight!!:biggrin: Hi, Great to hear things are going so quickly... We started the 176 SS process end of Feb, I've got through TRA as "Aircraft Engineer Mechanical" 19th April. Just waiting on SS results, hopefully any day now and our visa app is ready to be lodged... Enjoy your drink, I might have one for you... (Any excuse) Good luck with the meds, and keep us updated.
