It's possible that the mail goes out in batches maybe? I funny understand why people are getting mail on the weekend . Same thing happened last weekend.
It appears that they are working on March, April and May together. I'm early April and haven't heard anything. But some late May applications have.

Yes I know. But I want to know when AVO begin to process it, the third line on your GCKey. Thanks
Ok. Thank you very much. They received mine on 24th January, but start processing 17th October. I think they just forgot my application for a while and now I am still on queue for review as they told me in last email.
I believe they will get to you soon just hang in there. You can never understand AVO and the way they process applications
