Good luck to everyone on here - the forum has helped me through the process and its an awesome community that you all should be proud of. I probably will take a step back from the forum now and I doubt I will post much more - just need to start planning the move back to the UK.

Andytomas Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hi to everyone, I am an Italian Hairdresser and I applied for PR almost 11 months. At the moment I didn’t receive any news from the immigration. I was wondering if any hairdresser here is on my similar situation or even worse. Its frustrating because many of my friends that applied after me, they received already the golden email after 5.5 months or 7 months but no more than 8 months. They apply as pastry chef, cafe manager, tiler and butcher. Is someone in my similar situation? thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've been an absolute essential asset to this community, and you're wise words have helped many. Please consider how fast we're seeing nominations being processed now with the SAF (as bitter as I have been feeling towards to the newer applicants) - I too wouldn't consider an appeal, but with a re-nomination you could see a 4-5 months wait. Wishing you all the best, please keep us updated on your refusal reasons. Over and out, all the best in the future. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suusz Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hi all, a question to everyone that has had a inspection of immigration inside their business. Please share with me how this could work. I believe we do everything right, just want to be prepared. -How do they come in and what do they ask for? - What proof are they looking for on the spot? I just want to make sure everything is ready in case they will come and also in case I am not there if anyone would come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you can move on now!:) this is what is meant to be for you and at least you can start a family with having yours around you, which is something most of us have to give up.
