Couldn't have said it better myself CJG. Having been 1 that benefited from a fast May application, the 2nd stage wait has been horrific and I really do fear for these people who have been approved in super quick time when the problem obviously now is with the VO's. A fast 1st stage approval has done nothing for me. I do hope others do benefit from a quick 1st stage though.CanadianJeepGuy said:
Yes, I agree. I have been thinking about this. Some VOs sort the applications in order they receive them in the VO, some others (like Ankara) deal with the applications in the order they were received in CPC-M. So even though we were also like you in terms of having the luck of a speedy 1st stage, we got hit by the backlog created by all the files transferred. Despite the fact that it's really hard to wait for us, I think it's really fair that they are dealing with the apps in the order they were received in CPC-M.R151NG5UN said:
Thanks a lot. It's been quite the struggle and I have absolutely no clue why it's taken so long. You can only imagine how frustrated we've been waiting to hear something, especially considering we have 5 small children, not the easiest crowd to move to a new country not knowing at all when the move could possibly take place ???singaporeVO said:
I can understand your frustration Bonitanita the wait times in late Feb, March, April, May and some of June were ridiculous. I honestly would not wish that chaos on anybody and as bad as the comparison is between now and back then, in reality 30 days for 1st stage approval sounds pretty swift and fair, now 3 days is electric. It does go to show how quick it can be done and they probably look at the file for about 1 hour in the 1st stage.bonitanita said:
I'll be keeping an eye out to poke in and have a look as I'm curious too. We'll see...R151NG5UN said:I can understand your frustration Bonitanita the wait times in late Feb, March, April, May and some of June were ridiculous.

What I am very curious to see though is......... All these uber fast 1st stage approvals, will just bottle neck at the relevant VO's and may sit a lot longer than what the earlier 2012 applicants had to wait. I will be curious to see in June, if December has been processed at the relevant VO's OR as I suspect what may happen, they just sit there gathering dust as their is not enough IO's to process so many applicants that have sped through stage 1. I guess time will tell.
