romancuta: I cannot help, they didn't ask for my CSQ. However, I did sent it with my visitor visa application. Yes, the process is long and crazy, for me it was very difficult and I still hate that period where I wasn't able to live normally, but what we can do? I hope for a speedy process for you.
Sinziana: abogy is on a different program, not sponsorship, so don't compare your timeline with his. It will take longer for him. I don't remember your history, but did you got the AOR and/or SA? Maybe you can order these notes and see the situation of your file? In this topic CutiePie wrote about the notes ordering, I didn't do it myself.
Good luck everyone, I totally know how frustrating the process is, I'm sorry I cannot help you more.
