Default how long...?

once you have a CO and if you have front loaded meds and pccs, roughly
how long until visa granted? Our agent has said up to 3 months!!!
Please NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Somebody please cheer me up x

Our agent said exactly the same thing but then i think they have to
cover themselves.
We just have to sit and wait.It will happen eventually.
just try and chill have another glass or two. Three months is only
twelve weeks and they do seem to pass very quickly these days

I know its not that long really but we planned on leaving at the end of
Feb but cant book flights/shippers etc until we get the green light. Its
agony and seems to get harder the nearer the expected date comes.

oh well, i'll go and pour myself a glass of baileys. Good luck with
your wait too and keep me posted x

Bloody hell - I hope it doesn't take 3 months!!!! We got ours on the
14th November and we're hoping to get the visas in the next couple of
weeks. We've got a family wedding on the beach on Feb 3rd....

Oh well, guess I'll get another beer and get ready to watch the last bit
of celebrity....
