Dear jnathan,
I know more than 50% of the applicants showed POF borrowing partial or full money. Even you or me can't give assurance that we will have same amount in future. We also can be in trouble if money need to spend for any emergency. If they processed documents in the right time they can execute necessary action very quickly according to the immigration policy of the coming electing govt. It will also reduce backlog.
Although it seems bitter to listen, there is no doubt that if they take more that 12 months to issue MR , there is a high probability to ask POF+PCC again. What I wanted to say in my previous post is that if they can give a primary idea about applicants background document checking status, these pre-qualified applicants can get time to get ready, for example, If they ask POF after three years suddenly, then me, you or all might need to borrow money what we didn't earlier. Those who are not qualified after verification of the submitted documents, they can be informed and these people can move or think in different path.
I am quite sure that they have just made data entry to their system whose status are RBVO or recently in fake In Process and no further works have been done but to wait to hear from upcoming govt and incorporating GCMS system. It remind me that during school/university we used to hear the final exam date and then started reading for exams. What do you think?
