Okey, If they are busy and they do not have enough staff or if their staff do not provide a satisfactory service why still they invite people to apply ?My timeline is similar and we have the same problem!! We are applying for FSW --- they are prioritizing CEC now. I don't know if they can tell apart FSW inland from outland in their filter. I believe they will only get back to FSW after all this COVID situation. Too sad, but that is what is happening
