Stephen? Thought your name was Bob? Never mind lol! Your a real oldie then so can understand the feeling finally getting somewhere. It took 2 days for our 1100 to be applied to our application so it won't be long and a co should be looking at your file :-))) we were nov 09 feels like forever. How old is your daughter? We have 2 girls 5 and 8.

[Guest jools123]

i want to say a big congratulations to all those been sponsored by sa this morning wwoo hoo:biglaugh:

jools x

[Guest jools123]

like everybody on here i check everyday and when i first looked it just said application submitted and my agent said hed sent them and they received them on the 10th feb ,but yesterday still no change although i diddent quite know what to expectwhen i looked anyway. so i emailed the agent yesterday and hes got back to me saying "good call" there saying they never received them.

 

i could cry i feel like ive been thru the ringer , maybe its just not meant to be and sorry for going on when everybody is so happy, but this is the only place where everybody understands!!!

 

anyway they have agreed to accept photocopies from my agent but ive probably got eight weeks from today now, were waiting to hear from them...

i was expecting decision ready next week lol

jools x

[Guest Cara&Gav]

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Natmark, Chickeni & Stephen! Woo Hoo!

 

Jools I'm so sorry to hear what's happened, thank goodness you chased it up. I rekon they'll deal with it quicker as they are aware of the situation & they say they are accpeting photocopies. I doubt they'll put it back in the bottom of the pile. I really hope it's not another 8 weeks.

 

I'm getting frustrated because we're missing one set of accounts from the business that we need so got to try to get a copy off the accountantant today. ThenwWe still need to get the docs certified so looks like our application won't go in til early next week even though everything else is ready! I know it's in time but I really just want it in now! So we can start the waiting again lol

 

 

Hope you all have a good day

Hi. That stinks! We've had our fair share of ups and downs too and I'm sure it's not over yet. Hang in there. It WILL be worth it. Great things don't come easy but someone told me "good things clnd to good people" so don't give up! All my positive vibes are coming at you right now. Xxxx

[Guest natmark]

Good news all round today!! Congrats to stephen69 and chicken1.

 

Can't believe what's happened to you Jools123 - I'm sure they won't make you wait the 8 weeks again xx

[Guest chickeni]

Omg chickeni stephen69 fantastic congratulations! Yeeaaaaaaaaah! I will be turning you blue! So just one more decision ready yet to convert.

 

So excited for you all, Stephen69 and chickeni where are you in the application process?

 

We must all start finding out real names too ready for our big meet down under x

We're pretty much ready to apply. Completed 90% of the application online so just need to upload documents. I only looked quickly this morning but didn't notice any reference number but seem to remember the visa application asks for it? Can anyone clear this up as I can't think straight.

 

Sarah, Kev and 2 children - Chloe & Harry x

[Guest littlem]

Your reference number for ss is the 5 digit number you use to log in, hope that helps.

[Guest chickeni]

Your reference number for ss is the 5 digit number you use to log in, hope that helps.

Oh ok that makes sense! What a berk I am!!! Thought it would be more complicated than that. Thanks! Xx

[Guest littlem]

Hi jools, omg gutted for you. Xx but it will be ok I am sure if they are accepting copies your agent is on the case and SA will process you quickly, they can do it as we have seen others get a quick turn around. Feel free to rant away as we are all going through the same emotions and all understand and we all want you to get your visa.

 

Big hugs

Michelle

Hi Jools,

 

Thats such a shame, can only imagine how your feeling, but on the upside they are going to accept copies, yeah you may have to wait a further 8 weeks, but if you hadnt noticed you might have had to start from scratch!

 

Keep us updated, have you been able to log on to the client tracking system?
