I wish there were some way to see how many applications there are before a particular one. Would be nice to be able to follow the application through the process.
I wish. It doesn't seem to be a simple queue system. I assume that either there are multiple queues (pot luck) or applications can get held up at certain stages -- or both.
I'm seeing applications that were 3 weeks later than ours getting approved while we're still waiting.
Also, I've seen folks actually receive their visa in 24-26 working days this week, when we're at 38 bd and still counting.
I haven't seen any refusals yet. But I'm so anxious I can hardly function. It feels like something has gone wrong for our application. Others are being approved way ahead of ours now. I've escalated twice now 15 days apart and still had no answer, while others have had prompt responses to their escalations.
Evidently there is something different about my application and something gone wrong.
