Yeah "distribution of workload" is the reason they give which implies it is random but I have seen elsewhere people giving other reasons. Regardless I hope they begin processing soon, I am one of those beyond 6 months mark. I just noticed on the excel sheet that the first FSW candidate on the list who applied in January wrote that the "banker got a call" on the 24th Sept. Just wondering if the call came from CIC cos it was on a Sunday. If indeed the call was from CIC it could signal that they have started working on the FSW files
