littlem Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Hi gaz thanks for the update.....hoping we won't be the last 2009 still waiting for a co for too much longer. Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clan mac Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Hi Lorraine & familySounds like the same doctor that was off sick last week, we got Dr Crichton instead, lovely lady. Hope you are still online and get this advice: leave early and do not under-estimate how busy the traffic is on the M8/ Edinburgh city bypass around 4pm. I am originally from the weeg (no-one else will understand this!) and was visiting my Mum in Paisley today. Left hers around 3.45pm and didn't get home until just after 5.30pm and we stay only ten minutes away from Shawfair. Hopefully you will have a shorter journey time. There's a water and coffee machine in the reception area of the hospital if you arrive early but not much else. But parking is free which is always unexpected in Edinburgh! Fingers crossed for you, Kind regards Janice Ps tried Zumba once but too self-concious and have no co-ordination, perhaps you could start a trend in Oz..... Hi Janice, Thanks for your advice. I think everything went well or at least we weren't told that anything had caused concern. The staff were helpful and pleasant as you had said and it was easy enough to find. Our original appointments were for 9am but got changed to 4.45pm. It was very busy going through but the journey home was quicker (50 mins) and yay i managed to get to zumba too! Got my fingers crossed for you that you'll hear something soon. Anytime you fancy trying zumba again you can come to one of my classes and try it for free. My choreography is easy to follow honest! Or maybe we can meet up in Adelaide and I can show you some zumba moves! Zumba hugs Lorraine x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clan mac Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Huge congratulations to all who got their visa this week. Not so many of us now waiting to join the green gang.

sharon69 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Hi Gaz, thanks, I was going to ask to be turned green but you already did it for me, suits me I think ! Wishing a short wait for everyone still waiting for the Grant. Sharon x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThistleandRose Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Hello Everyone.. well done to all the new "greenies" in the past few days We are still waiting for med checking. There doesn't seem to be anything we can do to check further.. don't all run off to Adelaide and forget about us! Feels like an absolute age but it's actually only 2 weeks so I expect early days.

Lil Bev Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Congratulations to all those with visa grants!!! We still havn't had our medicals yet as OH is away, going to get them booked for the 9th April so a few more weeks for us yet, hopefully join you all in the green club soon:wideeyed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle Hiya, i should hope so too. Best of luck with the Case Officer and subsequent grant. Have you sent a PLE to ask for an update considering some threads on here are implying that ALL Cat 2 applicants have now been issued Case Officers.

If i dont say it before your medicals, best of luck, i am sure with you both being quite young (Not like us old farts......) and therefore healthy you wont have any issues at all (other than the obvious wait).

gaz n family Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 Adelaide, welcome to the south aus club. as you can see there are a few of us all wanting the same thing. You will also see some have experience a very short wait. Best of luck with everything, i see you have front loaded your meds and PCC so i am sure you will get your Case Officer shortly and assuming that you have an agent then this should lead to a quick decission.

So we are yet again, stuck in a queue.... Going to email and give them a nudge tomorrow - or perhaps Monday night to miss the Sunday / Monday rush. We are still working on the premise we are going and still buying up everything under the sun, or should we say clouds, due to the prices here compared to down there.. Speak soon!

We were told it would take about a week for all the results to get sent. Daughter was finalised the next day, OH 6 days later then me the following day, YIPEE! One more step further along the visa journey....Hope yours are as quick. Cheers for the zumba offer, am definitely in need of getting fit again! Here's hoping to both getting our visas soon, Kind regards Janice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Bev Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Is that when your OH gets back? If i dont say it before your medicals, best of luck, i am sure with you both being quite young (Not like us old farts......) and therefore healthy you wont have any issues at all (other than the obvious wait). He's back next weekend, will be celebrating as he leaves the ship FOREVER!! :jiggy:We would go to Cardiff but they only do midweek and if i'm working, he's not and vice versa. So heading to Birmingham on the one and only weekend i have off work. Thanks for the good luck wishes Gaz, i hope we get on ok! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will still be in until July but at least he's off that bloody ship! Thanks, just want to get the medicals out of the way so we can get our visa too.

sharon69 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 It still feels a bit strange, partly cos OH is still away. I keep logging onto the visa app page and smiling at the approved bit, I know I'm sad :biggrin: Be careful celebrating, I had a couple of bottles of bubbly with friends last night however when coming in with the carrier bags one of my dogs took the bottom out of the bag and the bottles came crashing out of the bottom, didn't smash the bottles as my big toe broke the fall, now nursing a very blue swollen toe, OUCH!!!!

Guest Bokkiegirl Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Hi all, Just popping in to say howdy! Still floating on cloud 9 - keep checking and re-checking that beautiful online page with those magical words "Approved"! Gosh what a feeling! Head is spinning with all the preparations and research - so much to decide and worry about, but it's a nice kind of worry :smile: Good luck to all still waiting. May you have the best news ever super soon! Take care xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
