Playing the waiting game...

[tone]

Hi Chaps

Probably a really stupid question...

My Mahal signed up for SMS alerts so that when a decision is made for the visa she will be told by email/sms.

Do the notices come out at any time of the day or is it typically end of the day when all the SMS/Emails are sent out with updates..

You can call me impatient! and that's really what I am!

Its only been 5 days and I am going mad already... but we've been apart 10 weeks and a day now and its very very frustrating.

Thanks

Tone

Difficult to say, Tone ... especially when dealing with two markedly-different time zones ...

... and NO ... it's NOT such a daft question ...

... indeed, it's perfectly normal to feel "keyed-up", impatient and frustrated in stressful situations like this. I felt EXACTLY the same emotions as you do now ... right from DAY 1 !

Hey Arthur
Thanks - its been a long drawn out process mainly because of the TOEIC exams had they been passed in May she probably would have been here, but failing the Speaking test, waiting 3 weeks for the retake and then a further 3 weeks for the result has dragged this out.

Cheers
Tone

I know just how tough and stressful it can be Tone. All I can say is try to remain calm,
whatever happens you have plenty of friends and good support here to see you through.
Still early days yet.
I feel sure everything is good. From what you previously posted it's difficult to find an obvious reason for refusal.
Stay positive mate. You're an honest and genuine couple. In principle the ECO is there to help you, not to scrutinise every possible way to refuse.

LOL and here i was thinking I'm the only one Tone my mahal also lodged the application on the 18th July and the waiting game is tedious to say the least

Its hard to stay positive when you have so many thoughts running through your head we've been apart 7weeks now but it seems forever

Anyway good luck with your application mate

Hey thanks!
I seem to have too much stress, I'm moving house in a few weeks, just started a more stressful job on a secondment basi at work and to be honest in chilled just really frustrated.
The days are going quit quick it's just that I've been spoiled working out there and my Mahal being with me 24/7.

I know everyone on here has gone through and is going through this process.

I was wondering how many ECO's there are? There are over a 1000 applications a month does anyone know how they are divided or how it's arranged? I'm just wondering.

Hi Tone

You are not ALONE on this!

While my husband is very confident and positive that I will get the VISA, I just couldn't get my self relaxed waiting for it!

I lodged mine July 15 and like you I really wish we could all get the VISA granted so we can move on with our lives.....

I know it's only normal to feel this way, but It's sickening...really, I already doubled my daily cup of coffee every morning just to have more time thinking about it..

Let us post here if ever we have good feedback already... And I will do the same If I get mine...

Good luck to us! Tone and Guyki

Good things come to those who wait patiently.

Hi there guys........

I would like to say that I understand exactly how you feel...

We applied for my partners unmarried spouse visa on 30 June.........we received our visa on 15 July.

When it is ready you will be notifioed by sms....The embassy give best sms it will state "your visa is being sent to visa office" however the two sms you receive from visa office just inform you the application has been processed and has been returned......the secret is in the first message when it says your visa is being delivered.

So whilst not thinking negatively what do they say if the the visa is not issued?

Fingers crossed for all!

Cheers for your replies.
