Sir
I am FSW 1 applicant , I have also read in manuals / sop that visa office follow and honour First come , first serve , then ministerial instructions are on top , NDVO and LVO follows no manuals / SOP , they follow their heart - FSW 2 and FSW 3 applicants still in que - even in my stream scores of applications filled after me have been processed , and they are now PR holders . I filled my application in 2009 , and still waiting for a first review - My 7 friends , real sister , cousins who filled applications 1 year after mine in LVO are are the ones who are PR , and I am still reading their worthy SOPs / manuals
Stay blessed , and follow " File and Forget"
