clanstewarts Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Gaz I have been through this and i do not know if you are still serving, but i got a JPA print out with my termination date and also my SO2 gave me a trade reference which also stated my termination date. I was also asked for character reference from my Colonel which he gave and with a copy of Queens regs this has all turned to MET on the system.

Guest dafdo Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hi All I need some advice from you guys.. CO allocated for me on 7th Feb and I did my medicals on 09 Feb 2011 and was sent to them on 12th . All other documents are also ok and no issues with them. but the worrying thing is my agent said me that they will need more than six weeks(sometimes 8 weeks) to finalize the medicals and give a decision. Is it true? I cant believe that. will I have to wait that much long for that golden moment. I saw some people got their VISA very soon after the medicals. But my agent is 100% sure about this. Pls... Advice me. I am from HR country.type- 176 Dafdo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my JPA Print out, they have a copy of this, i highlighted the fact it had LSGC Medal issue. i explained they to be issued this you need to have served 15 years undetected crime, plus to retain it, means again it was undetected time. i guess this was no good. I also have sent them a copy of my Valedictory certificate - admitidly this doesnt show your conduct. They have referencies from my last 34 line managers, all military, evidence of commendations and awards in the last 5 years (was in some high profile and stressed jobs (obviously no where near as the poor sods on the ground), jobs that only dealt with UORs so had my job watched from VERY high above, so when it went well we got recognised, sadly though, when it went wrong, boy did we know it. I called my discharge office this morning, apparently i should have been given an S3300D when i left. Bloody hell, i sure learnt my lesson, never work in a CRAB station in your last job, they really cocked up my discharge, my pay on leaving and even my last day in the office (i ended up doing three days extra at my desk, dispite telling them they were wrong!!) they even cocked up my JPA account on discharge so my Gratuity and pension payment dates were delayed. Got the afternoon off to take our son for his college interview, so going to turn up my scrap books and keep sakes boxes to see what i can send instead. You would think my final write-up would do, but you guessed it, by bloody CRAB SO2 didnt bother doing one, dispite the SO3 doing it for him, all he had to do was push it through the JPA system!!!! Thanks for the offer of help, if you can think of something i havent please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThistleandRose Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Well done to Gaz and anyone else with good news today. What a nightmare all this additional paperwork. Just when you think you are there. Been to docs this morning. They can dig out Consultants letter (if it's there as it's not in their "digital" archive so they have to go back to the paper... Have to pay for this copy but I can't blame them for that, they are not the problem and it is extra work for them. Only a token amount. In the meantime our agent is uploading the receipt for the medicals to show that the paper work is in progress. Made me wonder, is anyone going to try and take their UK GP records with them? Our friends over in Oz didn't, but surely this is useful for the future? I know the GP system is different over there. I don't even know if you can take them with you but it's worth a go. Roll on the visa. We are hoping to go over later this year but not preempting anything (still the temptation to make lists is proving almost too much!) :arghh::arghh: TNR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also asked for character reference from my Colonel which he gave and with a copy of Queens regs this has all turned to MET on the system. When we first started all this i provided all of the following, so i really done understand what more and why. 3 x referencies from my last 3 line manager 1 x personal reference from a line manager 3 x write-ups, the last 3. certificates of awards including citations Val certificate Cert of discharge (some JPA thing showing all my courses, quals, jobs, awards, etc. so god knows why they need more.:no: I have found the place that deals with the requests for docs, so will be sending the form out later. But will try sending more stuff because i suspect waiting for the MOD to sort out such requests may take a lond time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know what you find out with the discharge paperwork as ours still say required but they havn't told us what else we can send. The only paperwork we have sent so far has been his JPA Tx paperwork and a personal statement inc. duties and dates. Bev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the coyne family Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Congrats Gaz on the CO, delighted for you well deserved and congrats to Ashley on the grant, the amount of pressure it takes off you when that e mail arrives is amazing. Just on the medical records. I was looking at schools and noticed to enroll your child, you have to have a record of your child's immunizations. so probably worth getting that info off the doc before you head off.

Maria.x Thanks for this info, we have it on our list of things to do, but i bet it will help someone who might have over looked this. Admittedly i didn't realise we would have needed it for school admissions thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
