Will27 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Thanks for the update cat. But rather than start a new topic everytime you do or receive something, how about just about updating your topic from 24 Feb? Regards Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getsome1 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 We put ours in 5th sept last year, had the med check and police check done within weeks, they said within three months we would have our interview ( December) wife flew back in december and has been waiting since...any phonecalls have been a waste of time and they dont seem to care my wife has been away from our 2 y.o son for over 3 months now .....so dont expect too much from them!

Mate I wish you the best of luck in getting your Visa ... but there is something called TOO MUCH INFORMATION. Might I be a bit presumptive and re-write your opening line? No ... we had to wait for schools exams to finnish,now the mrs has her period and it says on the form not to have urin test when have period,so i have to wait till next week to gets medicals No ... we had to wait for schools exams to finish. Just now the Mrs is a bit busy post exams and we will possibly have to wait till the next week to get her medicals. Keep us posted how the application goes and any problems you encountered and how you both overcame them. ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

getsome1 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 If anyone is interested to know my wife got her visa approved yesterday! (permanent residence visa) all up it took 6 months which is good im happy . it seems if you put together a good application you dont have to do an interview or wait the 12months which they state ..so if you dont have your interview at the 3 month mark it probally means you wont need to do one.. so dont freak out like me!
