Check the processing times page and you can read this: *Any applications received before the posted dates are already being assessed by an AINP officer.
Talked to a friend and she received a phone call as well a week ago. Applied under EDS intr. student, on the 7th of May 2014. So Fingers crossed. I believe they are working on May applications.
I think somebody from April received a phone call from them, but I am sure there are people still waiting from December 2013 ::) , so not clear how they work on the applications
No, I just believe a lot of these applicants have applied through EE or left the country, and they just close the applications, because there is no way they reject so many. Or there are not so many applications in the queue :-X ...just a thought
