All correspondence so far has been from Sydney N.S.
A lot of people say BGC is one of the final steps
Questions:
1. Why would the BGC be the 1st step in my application and would this be a good or bad thing.
2. Is it normal to start the BGC while the application is still in Sydney
3. Does this mean it is likely this app will stay in Sydney
Thanks
