Default Case officer to Visa!

Hi all, just wondering how long your personal experiences are of obtaining your visas after submitting everything your case officers.

We have completed the application to our case officer (exactly a week ago) and now await a decision on our visa grants.

For us this is worst part as we have just about ran out of patience waiting and waiting and waiting, it's been one hellish road to travel on and we are so glad it's over but are wondering how long it took you guys.

Hi Scottishcelts,

We did everything through an agent but I know that it was only a few weeks after we had the medicals done for our independent skilled visa.

You're on the final stretch and it will be soooooo worth it!

Let us know when you hear something.

Karen

Hi,

We came out on the old 139 Designated Area Sponsored visa.

We submitted our main application at the end of May 2006 and got our visas mid March 2007. It's a l-o-n-g wait! But, you've got this far which is an achievement! Start planning now (if you haven't already). Research removers/short-term & long-term rentals. Have a look at the sticky at the top of the forum page "A list of things you need to do before you emigrate". Then go and have lie down with a cold compress
