Gentleandrew - Thanks for the information and advice. I will send the mail by the 6th week. I await the email address and CIC phone numbers.
Hopefulval - I quite understand your point on anxiety and patience in this process and I believe we will all come out better of at the end like you have prayed. On the application, I just checked and confirmed the receiver as "Mike" and time was "15:15" on the 19th of December 2013 on their online tracker. Do I need to do anything with this information.
For the spread sheet tracking, I will send in my details as you have suggested. But please permit my questions, as I am a newbie here and have not taken time to study the structure of this forum. I have two follow up questions.
1. You mentioned the admin to give my details to. What is the process for doing this and what is the admin information?
2. How do you update your profile to show the timeline of events and response from CIC like you have to the left of your name on the discussion board.
I will be very grateful if I can get this information to be like you all
. Regards!
