I only just submitted my police cert application today and my flights are booked for the 27th of May. Does anyone know if that's too late? Between the time taken to get garda clearance and the time taken to get visa approval?

Can someone please help me here, im panicking!

i reckon your cutting it tight! the garda cert can take from 1 week up to 6 weeks and then 6-8 week for visa approval have you got funds to support yourself for a few weeks while over there??

beano345 · 25-03-2011 7:27pm

sorry mis-read your first message! to be honest i dont know they say theirs 5000 visas allocated this year could be more! my advise would be to chase the guards up on the cert and send it all away as soon as you get it! best of luck

johnyowen · 25-03-2011 9:14pm

i'll be waitin nine weeks waitin to hear about the medical on monday. this is fair bloody frustrastin considerin it'll be another 3-4 weeks at least to process the medical. if i was back again i wouldnt have bothered my arse opting to do it at all.

Around 9 something in a pub (paid this in Lennox's on Robson and Granville), 10.25 in a nightclub on a Saturday night (The Venue, Granville St.) Then I'd usually tip $1 per drink on top of that.

Thats very cheap. What's the Lennox like?? I'm sick of going to the same places!!

aidanl · 27-03-2011 11:17am

hi,
do ye know if you have to book return flights if you are accepted? anyone know a cheap site for flights? thanks

mynamesjay · 27-03-2011 12:53pm

Is it way too late to begin the whole process now? i.e. starting with the garda cert? I can apply for this tommorrow

This has to be your waiting time altogether because it's not possible for your application to be in London for 9 weeks.

Last Friday was 7 weeks since my application arrived in London. Every day I come in from work I check the post and then rush on here to see if anyone has received their medical letter yet. Me and my girlfriend applied together but she didn't need a medical and got her LOI nearly 3 weeks ago.

I really hope something comes this week. My nerves are shot!

johnyowen · 27-03-2011 10:36pm

yeah its nine weeks since i got my "acknowledgment of reciept". at this rate though i cant see them processing the whole medical and issuing the LoI in the next three weeks . I took the chance of booking flights yesterday so i hope it works out. I saw flights on ebookers yesterday for 290e inc taxes and charges (montreal, one way), flying out the end of may so i booked em. it might'nt work out but at that price the risk isnt too high. i reckon if ive to wait till the end of april the same flights will cost me 5-600 euros.

Hi johnyowen, hmm yeah i know its long wait alright and yeah i was planning on booking anyway, next week sometime or i might ring up on my status. Flights are good price at this time , its not worth waiting more and paying so much more your right, and yeah its only week or 2 weeks wages sure, nothing to loose .

louisejscott · 28-03-2011 9:22am

Redtag.ca and airtransat are good for flights- air transat fly direct from May- sept which makes is alot easier. Not sure if you have to book return- but let me know cause I'm hoping to book mine this week
