First of all, I want to sympathise with you, I share your frustration of being stuck at RBVO for so long. I want to assure you however that this has nothing to do with not hiring a lawyer. If you check the tracker, you will see that there are others stuck in this stage even longer than you...getting one now will only be a waste of money as there is absolutely nothing he/she can do for you at this stage. At best, he would only send an enquiry to VO, which you can do your self.fazal_81 said:Dear Frnds,
I am seeking your advice in a matter. As you can see my timelines as follows:
Application sent to CIO, Sydney Nova Scotia : 29 March, 2011.
Received by CIO " " : 05 April, 2011.
An email containing PER or AOR with file # : 06 May, 2011.
Status from 06 May to 27 May 2011 : CIO Eligibilty Review complete.
File transfer to London VO (RBVO) : 27 May, 2011.
Since 27 May, 2011 till now its been 8 months and my status is still RBVO. And still the VO didnt contact my Employer. I didnt hire any lawyer or consultant for my case. I did all by my self, but now I am thinking to hire a lawyer to followup my case. As I hardworked a lot on it and I dont want it to get rejected. My duty timings and job is so tough that I cant follow up each and everything. Pls suggest me should I go ahead and hire a lawyer or not? Looking forward to hear from you soon.
Regards.
Fazal.
I will suggest this, send London VO an case specific enquiry, ask them if they require additional documents in order for your application to move to the next stage. Follow this link:
