Call it what you like, but i'd call it the last step before you take the action itself. You are basically in good faith, informing CIC to lift their backsides from the chair and take some action. If they dont, then obviously, you are not going to keep waiting. right now you are joking and taking it light, but i wonder if your demeanor will be the same if you still hear no response from CIC in the next 6 months.Hey!! Oh I see what you mean, this is very helpful!! I’ll recoup with my lawyer mid September if I hear nothing back about his security check and discuss it with her but I think this is a good approach. So it’s like a bluff lol?
....and your lawyer.....its the sad part...they can't do much, just like the MP.
Unless and untill, its already too late, like 20+ months. And in your case, this has already happened. Technically, you are qualified for filing an Oder of Mandamus. No need to do so, first just inform them.
