I’m just watching my mental health decline as others who sent in their applications after mine have their decision already.
Do they not work in order?
Does this mean they are really scrutinising my application or that they have simply “misplaced” someone’s entire relationship with another human and will get to it when they find it in a month or two?
I just don’t even know what to expect and it’s been 6 weeks with no word, no emails, nothing. What an absolute disgrace I have never felt so disrespected in my life. /rant
I hear you. But firstly, try not to take it personally, it is almost entirely up to the luck of the draw. There is always someone who gets their results before everyone else, the majority fall in the middle and then the unfortunate few have to wait longer.
One theory is that each ECO has a pile and some are just quicker at getting through their work than others, or perhaps your one has been off for a few days.. we really don't know. But try to hang in there, you will get your result and honestly will forget all about how horrible the wait was, except to share as an anecdote over dinner with friends!
