Well, unlike Nectar I won't give you false, made up timelines so let's just deal with the factsbeckett said:Dear Wayne,
First, congratulations!
I have been reading your posts for some time now; and I have also followed with interest your 'little' (ahem) tussle with Nectar.
I know that you look at things logically and make deductions about what might be happening to our applications, so....
What do you suggest I do:
I applied from London under NOC 4121 in December 2009, and my 2nd AOR is dated 26/7/10. My ecas shows RBVO and is not budging even after the specified 8 month period has passed. I sent a case specific enquiry, but there is absolute silence. I am a very patient (Professor of Literature) person, but now even I am getting jittery.
any advice?
Beckett
If you are "received by visa office" on your ECAS it means you have not gone into process yet. It's difficult for me as a post-June-26 applicant to really understand any of the pre-June-26 timelines. I am on another forum (BritishExpats) and I know quite a few pre-June-26 applicants how have been waiting a while.
Many people are also getting no response to case specific queries, it really does seem quite luck based as to whether they will reply at all.
The process is different for us compared with you guys in that CIO have already done a lot more of the eligibility review prior to receipt by the visa office.
My only advice really until you hear anything official from CHC is to try to draw off the experiences of other genuine CHC London applicants on the same timelines as yourself. Forums such as this, BritishExpats.com and also trackitt.com can have smatterings of useful information and feedback.
Sorry I can't be of any further help - I can imagine how frustrating it is, but hang in there buddy !
Best of luck,
Wayne.
