Woohoo!!! Got my second line. They either added it yesterday, or today (or perhaps late Friday!), as I checked Friday morning and it wasn't there.
"We started processing your application on December 12, 2013."
So by looking at the trends, will hopefully get our MR's this week. I'm hoping anyway. We're going to be away mid-January for 2 weeks, so I'm hopeful we can get out medicals done before then. Will just have to call around all the approved physicians in our area and see who can do it asap. I do realize though that the holidays may slow things down.
If there's no one that can do it here before we go, is there anything stopping us doing medicals in Scotland (where we're going) while we're there? I believe as long as it's an approved physician, it doesn't matter... If that were the case, would that make anything slower? Just wondering if the physician needs to mail anything, that'd take longer and more chance of going missing. Or is it all done electronically? Obviously would rather do them here, but just thinking of backups.
Regarding passport requests, does everyone get them, or do they only select certain applications? Just hoping that stage doesn't fall between trips (we have a few early 2014!). If it's at a really awkward time, is there anything that can be done to speed it up? i.e. dropping them off at the visa office, picking them up, etc.?
Some hypothetical questions, but may as well ask!
Early Christmas present, wooooo!

I am thinking I wont put the signature option.
