I think I understand what procedure is being followed to grant the nominations. Joelvetticat and I have exactly the same dates:
- FSW outland. OINP.
- Application delivered: 30th November 2015
- AOR: 6th April 2016
- Interview/Additional docs request: 7th November 2016
- Decision phase confirmation: 9th September 2016
BUT he has received the nomination two days ago (for which I am very happy and send him my congrats from here) and I am still in the apalling wait...
The only difference between both of us is the NOC: he is 2147 and I am 2131, which I think is what makes the difference.
I would love to see a pouring rain of nominations in the coming days, but I am realistic and I know the can not exceed the quota and they can only grant certain amount of them... It may still take a while for them to clear the backlog of pending nominations.
Good luck anyway to all of you!
