I suspect their actually working hard to catch up. I'm sure they are aware of peoples frustration. The slating they got on here wont have been missed either. There are supposed to be some VIP's on here, immigration consultants, immigration officers etc!!!

Congratulations, :D You are finally there. Thanks for posting your Landing experiences.

Just had a look around at the other spreadsheets, and there was a large number of applications in January....65!! Febuary 23, and March just 17. There will be lots more that arn't on the forum, but you could take that as a general poll on number trends. So we should see times coming down and...
