Hi,
I'm on day 81 (now over the recommended 10 weeks grrr). I just managed to get through to the CIC and they told me they have until 7 September which is 145 days, if i don't hear anything by then to call back.......seriously i'm not sure if I can take the wait. Myself and my family are here on a 2 year work visa due to expire on 5 December. If the reply is positive on 7 September then so have to do another temp anyway so there is another chunk of cash gone, if not, got 3 months to sell everything and start over. I don't think being here and contributing to the country makes it any easier than staying put and waiting for a green light (not that it was planned that way anyway). I love being here and the uncertainty of not knowing is frustrating and upsetting and so many other things. Why, oh why is it so difficult? I never thought it would be this agonising.
Good luck to everybody else playing this waiting game, hope you are bearing up well.
