incy Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Shame no further visas are ready. Was kind of hoping the guys would hear as it means more of a wait for everyone when the people at the top of the list don't hear anything. Another long week rolls by Next week now guys :-(( Agreed... We are into the 9 weeks+ now, very frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 No reason to have the waiting time extended. Then again, no reason to make people wait so long at all. All a big con to try and explain away the huge fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

incy Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I'm inclined to think 10 weeks is a bit excessive, then all that money and you have to wait until you've opened your passport for the result. I dont understand how 1 application can be successful in <1 week, and others still ongoing after 10. The target process time is breath taking, 120 business days, 70 to go! I wonder if govenment cut backs will impact this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stament Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 (edited) Excellent news Dubar, we're all rooting for you to get the thumbs up - come on!! As a side issue once you receive the SMS I guess you still have to go to Regents House. But what if you've paid for the passports to be posted special delivery - how much longer do you have to wait then - 2 or 3 days or more? Talk about prolonging the agony!

I realise that we on this thread are not the only ones waiting,but I do think it is an excessive time to have to wait.My son is in Thailand waiting for his step daughters result,Most people have a job at home ,my son is self employed,and its a long time to be away.If he comes home bet your bottom dollar they will get the SMS and have to go back!!!!

liveforever Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 as a matter of interest guys, what was the calender difference between when you put the application in and the date you stated for arrival on the form? i'm sure the arrival date is taken into account by the ECO if you are fair with them and give enough processing time. i allowed 10 weeks and stated 1st october for arrival, how much time did you guys allow? kind regards.
