When did the POPC bank your money? They usually do that before they do anything else.
I sent off my mother's application for a CP visa by airmail from the UK on Nov 19 2005. Like you, Mum had had the medical done in the UK on Nov 9, so I should think the Panel Doctor sent his stuff off at about the same time as I sent ours off for Mum. The POPC wrote to my sister in Oz (the authorised recipient) on Dec 7, saying they formally received the application on Nov 29. On Dec 28, my sister got another letter from them, asking for a specialist's report on Mum's health (since she is now 85.) That is being done on Mon 23rd Jan, so we expect to be able to get the specialist's report to the POPC well before their deadline of 10th February for getting it to them.
In your shoes, I would by-pbutt your agent and e-mail the POPC direct, to ask them whether they have received your application safely, when they received it and why you have heard nothing since. The POPC are incredibly efficient, as well as very helpful and pleasant to deal with, I have found.
absolutely sure. If you go into the main DIMIA site and tell it to search for POPC Newsletter, their e-mail address is given in that.
What does your agent have to say about the supposedly stony silence from the POPC? It is totally unlike them to ignore people, to judge from my own family's recent dealings with them.
I smell a rat here called 'gross inefficiency'......
