Thread for Outland LONDON, UK Applications!

[aj~]

Hi Aj,

Have you contacted your MP?

I've not gone down that route yet. As I'm "In Process" and only approaching the 8 month mark I'm a bit reluctant to take this step as I see it as a last resort.

I'll see what my GCMS notes show first and go from there.

I don't really feel like an MP would be helpful right now. The GCMS notes will give you an idea of where your file is at. It is important when you receive these notes to look on the bottom for the date generated. Sometimes they are generated not long before they are sent to you, and other times they are generated almost as soon as you request them even though they are still not sent to you for 30 days. They can be confusing to read but if you google "How to read gcms notes" plenty of people have published walk through guides to help you.
Please let us know when you get them if they tell you anything

Didn't know there was a thread on this, thanks. I'll report back once they arrive.

As you're 'in process' hopefully you will hear soon!

Fingers crossed! It will be 3 weeks Tuesday though since it updated to that, so I'm a bit worried seen as a lot of applications get a quick update from the "In Process" stage. Appears I may be one of the unfortunate ones stuck in "In Process" for weeks/months.

It's my own fault for getting a medical done too soon but that's what's causing me a bit of stress at the moment seen as it expires in 3 weeks. Unless I get my COPR very soon they're either going to have to extend it or make me take another.

Fingers crossed for you to have your COPR soon and medicals are exended!

No no, don't beat yourself too much over doing the medical early! My husband had sort of done the same thing, but it's really for lack of knowing. If all goes well for your application, expect for your medical to be extended at least a few weeks. We were also in the same tight situation (In Process for 6-7 weeks, and medical expiry coming very close), but they emailed us to let us know that the medical was extended another 2 weeks. After crazily preparing and rushing everything (ie, air ticket, wrapping up life in the UK), when my husband got his COPR, it was extended a full year (which was so bittersweet, I can't even explain it, bc he rushed everything, and we could've used an extra month or so)!

But I guess, all is well that ends well, right? Good luck.. I hope you're given a bit more time and less frustration!

Thank you thank you thank you soo much wowsers, apt2208, Becki567, aj~, and B1007! Also many many thanks to all the kind users who helped (can't remember everyone off the top of my head), but thanks to Sweden, zardoz, and canuck_in_uk (and so many more of course!)

We have to say, it feels great to see the green line wishing everyone else a very speedy end to all this.
