Just curious to know why you chose the Inland route, since most people from the UK seem to complete the entire process Outland soooo much faster?
My husband had a job as a TFW so he would have benefited from implied status only he was laid off along with everyone else at his job after it was sent. *snort*
Since it was already out the door and I'd already shelled out the money, it was one of those "oh well" moments. I don't have the $$$ to pay for another kick at the can at the moment (no explanation needed I'm sure), plus which, I have no way to withdraw that application. I imagine it sadly languishing in an overflowing inbox somewhere... or maybe it's fallen into no man's land between the wall and the filing cabinet like my documents did at the CRA head office years ago.
Anyway... I didn't have a lot of free time prior to sending the forms out and saw the 29 month turn around at the London office and thought WTF?! I have since learned that this probably does not reflect reality AND that CIC only has service delivery standards for outland applicants. Oh well, too late now.
