I haven't seen any "GOT ITs" today????

Hi...I suspect that those using agents get COs earlier. Can we test this theory by updating the list with the words "AGENT USED" " or "NO AGENT"

I think this would provide a little clearer windown into the minds of ASPC.

I've edited mine

We used an agent, but I also had a theory.

I heard that they are trying to get the visa allocations up to meet their end of year figures. I thought they may be processing cases where people have frontloaded everything. This way they can go straight to grant without having to wait for extra documentation.

That's what I thought before we got a CO, so I'm not sure now. ?? We haven't frontloaded PCC's.

No sh1t! In the speed that you u got your visa...your agent must have been 007 - Licensed to Grant.

I don't think having an agent makes any difference - have just looked on austimeline and there are people with no agent who applied after us who have co's...One was even ack 23 March!!!!!!
I think its time to chill, relax and sit down with some good wine and just wait

Dorothy

Yeah, Kate. I have to agree with you. It doesn't really matter about whether or not you have an agent, I don't think. I know they say regions are not relevant anymore, but they are still quoting regions in emails from COs, aren't they?

Southgate

I got the CO's letter this morning. I've checked it a couple of times and I can't see the region mentioned anywhere.

Cheetah7

Going to take you up on that wine. It's soooooo true. Just sit back
and relax. Stress is not going to give us a co just grey hair. Must
say that finding this forum has helped a lot!!!! I feel the madness
subsiding.

Not so mad anymore

Hi folks, we had a region on our Visa letter--Region 2 and the name of the C/O Ms Braithwaite...I love her

Sam

ummm think you may want to remove the name of your co!!!!

think the mods frown upon it as this forum is read by those not just on BE!!!

And i think some from DIMA!!!!!!!!

Cheetah7

I do believe someone was banned for that last year.
