ali Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Oh Amy remember this so well - it'll happen (probably when you least expect it) ... my advice .. start testing the aussie wines, I seem to remember they helped our wait for a CO immensely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyplasterer Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I really feel for you I was horrible to live with for the last 2 weeks I couldn't believe it was approaching 11 weeks. Take it from me it will arrive very soon and then all hell with let loose and your feet wont touch the ground. I don't know where the last week has gone.

georgiasmammy Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 A watched kettle never boils Osmond!! lol! only joking, we were exactly the same!! Ours came through when we were least expecting it and when we gave up on checking everyday. Not teaching you how to suck eggs but don't suppose it's gone into your spam folder? I bet you've already checked though! just an idea Have a fantastic weekend, fingers crossed it comes through soon for you x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osmond8 Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Tell me about it!... My husband agrees with you but then he is soooo laid back he is hardly ever vertical!!!!! He would check emails once a week if it was left to him!...so, i checked my spam folder....and i don't even have a spam folder???????!!!!!!! So, geogrgiasmammy....i see you only have three weeks left in the UK..i bet you are so excited/nervous/exhausted??!!... Where in Perth are you heading too?

alison13 Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 Yippee!!! How long did you have to wait? It will be 9 weeks tomorrow since we applied and the longer it goes it makes me think suppose we don't get it!! I'm sure it will be fine but I just want to know!!! aaahh!! Did you call DIAC to chase your application? I'm very tempted to call tomorrow.... Hope you get your grant soon!!xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you call DIAC to chase your application? I'm very tempted to call tomorrow.... Hope you get your grant soon!!xx Hi alison13, we waited a total of 10weeks and 1day!!... I honestly thought the same as you... "What if it's a no?" I know it's not over yet but such a relief to get a case officer!... I actually couldn't believe it yesterday when i checked the emails.. As much as i was checking for that email, i wasn't expecting it either!!!! We are using an agent and we recieved an email from them on Tuesday saying that they had contacted he DIAC and that they had informed them that we may have been allocated a case officer at that point but because of the amount of applicants we just hadn't been contacted yet.... Maybe that's the case for you too? I'm sure you won't have to wait much longer?.... Good luck... Feel like we are on the home-run now (medicals permitting of course!) have a nice day Amy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just finished with anmac's backlog (18weeks instead of 6) so any news on how long this might take will help manage the familys expectations and disappointment a lot thanks Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
