Dreamcatcher Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Once they have your medicals, and there are no major problems there, it is a matter of days. Ours came through a few days after they finally found our lost medicals, but the whole process took about 8 weeks. The same for some other people I have spoken to, theirs came through in 5 weeks, as their medicals did not get lost Greetings,Dreamy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon. Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Our application was lodged on 28 July and approved on 31 August, if there are no problems it takes about 5 weeks. If we did not have to wait a week to see the doctor it could have been 4.RegardsLeon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dedrei Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Same story here, ours took about 5 weeks, could have been 4 if we went to doctors earlier. It gets approved within in 2-3 days after medicals have arrived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest colton Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 That is good news! It has been 4 weeks since our application was lodged. Unfortunately our agent at DIMA went on leave for 10 days. Hopefully it won't hold up the process too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamcatcher Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Hi colton,I just remembered that we actually had two applications, as we had to reapply for our visa's after a change in company structure. The new applications were handed in round about the 25th of May, and the visa's were granted on the 26th of June. So about 4 weeks for a straight forward application.Holding thumbs for you!Greetings,Dreamy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
